Our eyes do so much talking. They show joy, focus, confidence and sometimes fatigue even when we feel great. As the old adage goes, they are the windows to the soul. Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes can begin to droop or puff, making us look tired or older than we feel. Blepharoplasty, commonly called eyelid surgery, is a subtle but powerful way to restore a refreshed, well rested appearance while still looking completely like yourself.
At Belmont Plastic Surgery, we believe the best results never look overdone. They simply look natural, balanced and brighter.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. It addresses excess skin, muscle and sometimes fat that can cause heaviness, hooding or under eye bags.
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin that can sit on the lash line or interfere with vision. Lower eyelid surgery smooths puffiness and under eye bags while improving contour and firmness.
The goal is not to change how your eyes look, but to restore them to a more youthful and energized version.
Patients often come to us saying the same thing
They feel great but their eyes tell a different story
Blepharoplasty can help if you notice
Many patients are surprised by how much of a difference this procedure makes to their overall face. The eyes look more open, alert and refreshed.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Depending on the treatment area, it may be done with local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
Incisions are carefully placed within the natural creases of the eyelids or just below the lash line, making them discreet once healed. Excess skin and fat are gently addressed to create a smoother, more youthful contour.
Every surgical plan at Belmont Plastic Surgery is customized. Dr Feledy takes a thoughtful and conservative approach to ensure results look natural and balanced with the rest of the face.
Recovery from eyelid surgery is generally straightforward. Most patients experience some swelling and bruising during the first one to two weeks, which gradually improves.
Many people return to normal daily activities within a week and feel comfortable being seen socially shortly after. Final results continue to refine over several weeks as swelling resolves.
The outcome is long lasting and often described as looking refreshed, rested and more confident rather than surgical.
Eyelid surgery is ideal for patients who are healthy, have realistic expectations and are bothered by excess eyelid skin or under eye bags. During your consultation, we will discuss your goals, evaluate your anatomy and determine whether upper, lower or combined blepharoplasty is the best option for you.
Some patients also benefit from combining eyelid surgery with other treatments such as Botox, laser resurfacing or brow lift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Blepharoplasty is one of those procedures where friends may say you look rested or refreshed without knowing exactly why. It enhances what is already there and brings focus back to your eyes.
If your eyes no longer reflect how vibrant you feel, we would love to guide you through your options.
