Set Your Sights On New Horizons
Blepharoplasty, also called "eyelid surgery", is a surgical method to fix heavy, wrinkled, or droopy eyelids and give your eyes a younger, fresher look. Your eyes are usually the first feature that others notice about you and are usually the first part of your face to show signs of aging. Eyelids that have a heavy appearance are often caused by extra skin and fat that builds up in the normal fat pads around the eyes. In addition, folds of skin in the upper eyelids can sometimes be thick enough to partially block your peripheral vision. Sagging eyelids are often hereditary and can often be seen in young patients as well.

Beautiful Youthful Eyes
Eyelid surgery is a method for enhancing the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. Various treatments address specific concerns, but the surgery often entails removing extra skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. In addition, Blepharoplasty can be performed on upper eyelids to lift hooded or drooping eyelids and on lower eyelids to eliminate eye bags and tighten sagging or crepey skin. These operations can be performed individually or simultaneously.

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Fast downtime, lasting results
Blepharoplasty offers aesthetic and practical benefits, making it one of the most popular facial procedures. Whether you're looking to refresh tired eyes or improve vision obstructed by sagging eyelids, the results are often life-changing. Here's why patients love Blepharoplasty:
Tailored to You
Yes, Blepharoplasty can be customized to target the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your goals. Dr. Harris offers three main types of Blepharoplasty:
This procedure focuses on lifting the upper eyelids by removing excess skin and sometimes a small amount of fat. It's ideal for addressing sagging or drooping eyelids that can make you look tired or, in some cases, even interfere with your vision. Dr. Harris ensures the incision is hidden within the natural crease, so any scarring is nearly invisible.
Lower Blepharoplasty is perfect for reducing puffiness, under-eye bags, and sagging skin. Dr. Harris uses a scarless technique by making incisions inside the lower eyelid so there's no visible scarring. The result is a smoother, more refreshed look with minimal downtime.
If you're looking to rejuvenate both the upper and lower eyelids, Bilateral Blepharoplasty combines the techniques of both surgeries in one. This approach can dramatically refresh your overall appearance, helping you look more youthful and well-rested while maintaining a natural look.
Make Time for You
Excess skin on the eyelids can become bothersome and cause concern for men and women of all ages. Your eyelids may droop, look puffy, or grow heavy with age and sun exposure, adding to the heavy appearance around your eyes. Blepharoplasty is often an ideal solution for those who notice these signs of aging and want them addressed.
Healthy people of all ages are ideal candidates for upper and lower eyelid surgery and Dr. Harris will take the time to discuss your particular medical history to see if this surgery is a good fit for you. To understand more about your Blepharoplasty choices at Harris Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, schedule a consultation as soon as possible.
Every patient is unique, but Dr. Harris typically removes both skin and fat from the eyelids to provide better contour and reduce any skin laxity. In order to get a natural appearance for eye rejuvenation, the amount of fat removed needs to be precisely performed, which is why it is vital to have an AAFPRS fellowship trained, double board-certified, facial plastic & reconstructive surgeon perform your Blepharoplasty. Once healed, your incisions are well hidden by the natural creases of the upper eyelids and within the lower eyelid and should not be noticeable.
Dr. Harris will check in with you regularly to assess your healing after your procedure. Depending on the anesthesia used, you may still require a companion or family member to transport you home following surgery. After surgery, you will follow the detailed instructions Dr. Harris provided to you prior to your procedure. Some of our Beverly Hills Blepharoplasty patients could feel some discomfort following this surgery, but this can be treated with pain medicine as needed. You should also anticipate some swelling and bruising after the procedure, but these side effects usually go away within several days.
Results that Endure
During your follow-up visits to our office, Dr. Harris will check on how you're doing and answer any questions you may have during the recovery. You should feel better within a few days, and you may return to social activities as soon as you are happy with your appearance. Your Blepharoplasty results should last for about ten to fifteen years, but keep in mind that your eyes will continue to age normally.
Cost-Effective Confidence
The cost of Blepharoplasty is personalized based on your individual needs, the specific technique required, and whether it's combined with other procedures. Factors like the type of surgery (upper, lower, or both) and the complexity of the procedure all influence pricing. Typically, the total cost includes the surgeon's fees, anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up care. We recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Harris, where you'll receive a personalized quote and information on flexible financing options.

Blepharoplasty is not an unpleasant treatment, and recovery is typically straightforward. Overall, postoperative discomfort is minor and easily treatable with pain medication.
Blepharoplasty risks are fairly uncommon, however, they can occur. Dry eyes, weeping, scarring, and the inability to fully close your eyes are among the potential side effects. One of the many advantages of seeing Dr. Harris for this procedure is in the close follow-up he offers, which allows for any side effect to be addressed early and effectively. During your consultation, Dr. Harris will thoroughly discuss with you any risks and potential side effects as well as answer any other questions you may have.
Most people considering upper eyelid surgery are over 40, the average age at which people start noticing changes as the skin around the eyes loses elasticity and starts to droop. However, anyone unsatisfied with excess skin and fullness around their eyes may be a candidate for Blepharoplasty.
Patients who have Blepharoplasty to improve their vision can sometimes have their insurance cover a portion of the cost. However, there are also other financing options available for your convenience.
The results can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, and for many patients, the improvements can be permanent.
Yes! Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, so you'll be awake but completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
Most Blepharoplasty procedures take about one to two hours, depending on whether you're focusing on the upper, lower, or both eyelids.
