Introduction
About Eyelid Surgery
Eyes are one of the most important features of the face – they’re what we look at most when we interact with each other. If your eyes are hooded, sagging, or wrinkled, however, you may feel self-conscious or like they don’t reflect your youthful passion for life. Eyelid surgery makes subtle changes to the upper and lower eyelids, removing heavy upper lids and lifting undereye bags. The result is smoother skin around your eyes and a brighter, more awake appearance. With upper and lower eyelid surgery, you can look more like yourself again.

Open the Eyes
Eyelid surgery can open the eyes and create a brighter, more alert look. It does this by getting rid of heavy, sagging skin.
Excise Hanging Upper Lids
Upper eyelid surgery can remove excess skin that hangs on your lash line and reveal your natural eyelid crease.
Lift Sagging Undereye Bags
Lower eyelid surgery can lift undereye bags, smoothing skin and repositioning fat pads. It creates an overall brighter, more youthful undereye area.

Taking some preparation steps ensures a smooth and successful procedure. To make sure you’re healthy enough to undergo this minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Tehrani will evaluate your medical history and order blood tests. If you smoke or use any type of nicotine product or tobacco, you should stop at least a few weeks before your scheduled procedure. Doing so will get your blood circulation working optimally and allow you to heal faster. You should also pick up any prescriptions beforehand and arrange for someone to pick you up after your procedure.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Due to many factors, the eyelids change over time. Sun exposure, in particular, reduces collagen production, causing deep folds around the eyes. Gravity can weigh down this thin skin, and repetitive facial movements can exacerbate this process. In addition to sagging skin, the skin and fat pads over the upper eyelids can bulge over time, even obscuring your vision and making the eyes appear more tired. If you’ve had hooded eyes from a young age, a blepharoplasty can transform your overall facial expression and allow for more flattering eye makeup.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Also known as lower eyelid surgery, lower blepharoplasty is designed to rejuvenate the undereyes by reducing, repositioning, or removing fat pads and addressing excess skin. This area is especially susceptible to signs of aging. This includes muscle sagging, loss of skin elasticity, and the prolapse of local fat pads, causing tissue collection underneath the eye. The thin skin surrounding the eyes is extremely fragile. It often starts showing signs of natural aging earlier than other facial areas. Lower blepharoplasty can remedy this by providing long-lasting correction.
Eyelid Surgery Recovery
After our team monitors you post-procedure, you can return home on the same day. We’ll provide you with prescription ointment to apply to your eyelids to properly protect them from infection and promote healing. For the first few days, you’ll experience swelling and redness. Besides prescriptions, you should only take non-blood-thinning OTC medications that will not increase your bleeding risk – Dr. Tehrani will give you more detailed instructions. Elevate your head and use a cold compress on the first day to reduce swelling. To protect your eyelids from any possible sun damage, wear sunglasses when going outside. You’ll likely be able to safely return to sedentary work after 4-7 days.
Once the skin has healed enough (usually around 1 week), Dr. Tehrani will remove the sutures. Though you’ll start to see your final results, you should still avoid sweating, which could irritate your eyes. You’ll likely be able to return to the gym one month into your recovery. By this time, you can enjoy your newly rejuvenated look without any residual swelling. Your results should last 10-15 years. The longevity of these aesthetic improvements will mostly depend on your lifestyle, sunscreen usage, and genetics.
Dr. Tehrani can recommend the best anti-aging practices to extend your results for as long as possible.

Facelift
The facelift is a common addition to eyelid surgery. It can more comprehensively rejuvenate the face and remove a decade from your facial profile.
Brow Lift
The brow lift can sometimes be substituted for eyelid surgery, especially if your sagging upper lids are caused by laxity in your brow. Dr. Tehrani can determine which option is best for you.
Botox
Botox is an injectable treatment that can smooth eye wrinkles and lift the brows if you have mild to moderate signs of aging.
