The individual comes first

Your goals. A considered approach.

Blepharoplasty addresses selected skin and fat changes in the upper or lower eyelids. The assessment also considers brow position, eyelid support, and eye health.

01 · Your options

Look at the eye area as a whole.

A thoughtful plan starts with your individual assessment. These are the details to explore together.

Upper eyelids

Discuss excess skin and whether brow position contributes to heaviness.

Lower eyelids

Assess puffiness, skin quality, and the support of the lower lid.

Eye health

Share dry-eye symptoms, vision concerns, and previous eye surgery.

02 · Your consultation

A conversation comes first.

Bring your questions about blepharoplasty. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.

  1. Share your priorities

    Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.

  2. Explore your options

    Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.

  3. Plan the practical details

    Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.

03 · Recovery

Make room for your recovery.

Ask about swelling, bruising, eye comfort, and when to use makeup or contact lenses again. Follow the prescribed eye and incision care, and keep your follow-up appointments.

04 · Important considerations

An informed choice is a personal one.

Risks include dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, eyelid-position changes, bleeding, and rare vision complications. A careful eye-health assessment is part of planning. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.

Common questions

Let’s talk through it.

Do I need upper or lower eyelid surgery?

The areas address different concerns. Your exam can clarify which, if either, fits your goals.

Will it treat every line around my eyes?

No. Skin texture, expression lines, and brow position may require separate consideration.

How much does blepharoplasty cost?

Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.

How do I get started?

Call our team or send a consultation request. We will help arrange a conversation about your goals, medical history, and next steps.
