Refresh and Rejuvenate the Eye Area with Expert Care

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. At Transform, eyelid surgery is performed by board-certified cosmetic surgeons with extensive experience, delivering natural-looking results with a strong focus on patient safety and satisfaction.

The eye area plays a key role in facial expression. Over time, excess skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags can create a tired or aged appearance. Blepharoplasty addresses these concerns by removing or repositioning excess tissue, helping the eyes appear more refreshed, alert, and youthful.

What Is Blepharoplasty? Surgery?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your individual concerns.

In some cases, eyelid surgery may also provide functional benefits by removing excess upper-eyelid skin that interferes with vision. While blepharoplasty is not a substitute for a facelift, it is often chosen as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial surgery procedures to achieve balanced, natural facial rejuvenation.

At Transform, blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia and usually takes between one and two hours.

What Happens During Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery at Transform is performed in a modern clinical setting by experienced surgeons who specialize in cosmetic facial procedures.

During the procedure:

• The treatment area is carefully assessed and marked
• Local anesthesia is administered for comfort
• Excess skin, fat, or muscle is removed or repositioned
• Incisions are closed with precision to support optimal healing

Upper eyelid incisions are generally placed within the natural eyelid crease, while lower eyelid incisions are positioned just below the lash line or inside the eyelid. These techniques help ensure that any scarring is minimal and discreet.

Is Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

Blepharoplasty may be a good option if you are bothered by:

• Drooping or heavy upper eyelids
• Puffiness or bags under the eyes
• A tired or aged appearance around the eyes
• Excess eyelid skin that affects vision

Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking to enhance the eye area rather than dramatically alter their appearance. Scheduling a consultation with a Transform surgeon is the best way to determine whether eyelid surgery aligns with your goals.
