What Is an Eyelid Lift?

Your eyes reveal a lot about your emotions—whether you’re happy, sad, excited, or tired. They are a key feature of the face that deserve to be highlighted, but excess skin above or below the eyes can create an aged or fatigued appearance, making you look tired, angry, or unhappy even when you’re not. To address this, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Miguel Gallegos offers eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, to remove excess skin and lift the upper or lower eyelids, resulting in a softer, more youthful look.

What Are the Benefits of an Eyelid Lift?

Eyelid lifts at Hermosa Plastic Surgery offer both aesthetic and functional benefits, including:

  • Removal of sagging, droopy skin
  • Improved vision by expanding your field of view
  • A refreshed, more alert appearance
  • A younger, rejuvenated look
  • Reduction of under-eye puffiness and bulges
  • Enhanced eye contour and definition
  • Less skin irritation and improved comfort

Am I a Candidate for an Eyelid Lift?

Both men and women seek blepharoplasty to enhance their facial appearance. While relatively minor compared to other cosmetic surgeries, eyelid surgery can dramatically improve how vibrant and rested you look. During your private consultation, Dr. Gallegos will discuss your specific concerns and goals to develop the best treatment plan.

Ideal candidates are those bothered by excess skin and folds on the upper eyelids or puffiness under the eyes. Besides affecting your appearance, these issues may impair your vision and interfere with daily activities. If loose upper eyelid skin or bags under your eyes are affecting you, blepharoplasty could be the right solution to restore a more youthful, alert look.
