Aging eyelids

Blepharoplasty is commonly used to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by trimming excess skin and removing fat bulges. Additionally, the position of the eyelids can be altered by securing the outer attachment of the eyelids higher than the inner attachement, altering the shape of the eyes, yielding the youthful almond shape to the eyes. 

This can be further enhanced with a subtle elevation of the outer portion of the eyebrow, something you can probably preview simply by using your fingers in the mirror.  Blepharoplasty cost is based on uppers, lowers, or both, and can start as low as $2500.  Although eyelid surgery should not affect your eyelashes, we are having tremendous success with Lattisse and most of our blepharoplasty patients are using this with great results!

The eyelid shape can be changed with a blepharoplasty.  This procedure removes the excess skin and fat in the upper and lower eyelids and rejuvenates the areas around the eyes.  If you want your lower eyelids on more of a slant, they can be stitched to the bone around your eyes giving them a higher and tighter look.  The cost is around $3,000 for anesthesia, facility, and professional fees.  It will take about 1 week to heal, and your eyelashes will not only grow back, they shouldn't fall out at all after the procedure.  Check out some before and after photos before having anything done.  Good luck!
