Many individuals in Scottsdale notice that drooping eyelids, puffiness, or excess skin around the eyes can make them look tired, older, or less alert than they feel. Concerns about appearance, self-confidence, and even vision obstruction often lead people to explore blepharoplasty as a solution. This procedure offers a way to refresh the eye area, helping patients achieve a more youthful and rested appearance while addressing functional issues that can impact daily life.
A person’s eyes are a beautiful feature of the face that deserves to be visible, but sometimes, excess skin on top or around the eyes can produce an unflattering look. Our board-certified plastic surgeons use eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) to remove excess skin and lift the lower or upper eyelid, creating a softer look.
Many men and women undergo eyelid surgery at Forma Plastic Surgery to eliminate sagging eyelids, resulting in improved functionality and a more rejuvenated appearance. Whether upper or lower, eyelid surgery can create a fresh, youthful complexion and provide subtle yet noticeable improvements. If you would like to learn more about refreshing your eyes with an eye lift to remove excess skin, please schedule a consultation with us in Scottsdale, AZ.
If you have hanging skin on the upper eyelid or bulging eye bags underneath your lower lids, blepharoplasty treats these issues and provides a rejuvenated appearance.
During your consultation, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will discuss your goals, review your medical history, and create a detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Generally, ideal candidates want to treat saggy skin that rests on the top eyelid or eye bags underneath the lower eyelid. They must be in overall good health and avoid smoking for a few weeks before and after surgery.
Depending on the type and complexity of your eyelid surgery, procedures may be done on the top eyelid, on the bottom portion, or a combination of both eyelids:
Upper eyelid surgery removes droopy skin over the eye, creating a more awake and appealing appearance. An incision is typically made along the lid crease. The placement of this incision enables optimal healing and concealment of the scar within the natural contours of the eyelid region.
Lower eyelid surgery reduces bulging skin underneath the lower lid. In most cases, an incision is made below the lash line to remove excess skin, resulting in a flatter, smoother appearance. Additionally, incisions can sometimes be made on the inner surface of the lower eyelid to reduce or reposition fat deposits.
A facelift targets the mid-to-lower face and neck, addressing concerns such as excess fat and skin as well as drooping skin along the jawline. When combined with eyelid surgery, it offers a comprehensive facial rejuvenation, tightening and contouring the lower facial features while the eyes appear brighter and more youthful. This dual approach can produce dramatic yet natural-looking improvements in overall facial harmony.
Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and tone. When performed after or alongside blepharoplasty, it can enhance the overall results by refining the skin’s surface around the eyes and other facial areas. Smoother, healthier-looking skin can boost self-esteem, helping patients feel more confident in their refreshed appearance.
Upper and lower blepharoplasty are popular surgeries sought by both women and men. During your private consultation, a member of our team will discuss treatment alternatives with you based on your areas of concern that require correction.
Generally, ideal candidates suffer from excess hanging skin and folds on the upper eyelid, or baggy skin just under the lower eyelid. These conditions can cause functional and vision difficulties that can hinder everyday life. For a more awake facial appearance, eyelid surgery may be the appropriate procedure for you.
If you have excess skin on the upper eyelid or bulging bags under the eyes, blepharoplasty can help treat these conditions to provide you with a more youthful appearance.
