Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelids. For the upper lids, this procedure removes excess skin and fat that can cause drooping to improve vision and creating a more alert, youthful appearance. On the lower lids, this treatment targets puffiness, bags, and wrinkles by tightening the skin and removing or repositioning fat. The result is a smoother, refreshed look that brightens your eyes and restores a well-rested, vibrant expression. Face the world with renewed confidence with the Aesthetic Center.
Brow & Forehead Lift
Brow and forehead lifts are transformative surgical procedures to elevate sagging skin and smooth lines. By gently lifting the skin and underlying tissues of the forehead, this procedure refreshes tired or heavy expressions, reduces wrinkles, and reopens the eye area for a more awake appearance. Ideal for addressing drooping brows or deep forehead creases, a brow or forehead lift can restore balance and harmony to your face. Always look refreshed and ready for what’s ahead with a brow or forehead lift at the Aesthetic Center.
Ptosis Repair
Ptosis repair is a delicate surgical procedure that corrects drooping of the upper eyelid caused by weakened or overstretched muscles. By tightening or repositioning these tissues, ptosis repair can restore proper eyelid height and improve your field of vision. This treatment enhances eyelid function and creates a more youthful appearance. Whether mild or severe, ptosis repair can help you regain comfort and confidence with a clearer, brighter outlook.

FAQ
Ptosis repair is specifically for drooping eyelids caused by weakened or stretched levator muscles that lift the eyelid, while blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and fat. If your eyelid margin covers part of your pupil or if you find yourself raising your eyebrows to see better, you likely have ptosis. An evaluation by our oculoplastic surgeon can determine whether you need ptosis repair, blepharoplasty, or both procedures to achieve optimal results.
Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of noticeable swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to work within 7-10 days. You’ll need to keep your head elevated, apply cold compresses, and avoid strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks. Stitches are usually removed within 5-7 days, and while initial healing occurs quickly, full results may take 3-6 months to fully settle as residual swelling resolves.
A brow or forehead lift addresses sagging eyebrows and glabellar lines by lifting the brow line, while eyelid surgery focuses only on the eyelids themselves. If your eyebrows have dropped significantly or you have deep forehead lines, a brow/forehead lift may be more appropriate than eyelid surgery. Many patients benefit from combining both procedures for comprehensive upper face rejuvenation, as drooping brows can contribute to excess upper eyelid skin. Our aesthetic team will evaluate your condition and establish the best plan for your specific needs during the consultation phase.Â
Oculoplastics is a subspecialty combining ophthalmology and plastic surgery, focusing on the eye area, eyelids, tear ducts, and surrounding facial structures. You should consider an oculoplastic surgeon if you have functional issues like blocked tear ducts, eyelid malposition, vision problems related to drooping eyelids, or for cosmetic concerns around the eyes.
Surgical results generally last 7-15 years, though individual factors like genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle affect longevity. Aging still naturally occurs, even after cosmetic surgery. Blepharoplasty results can be permanent for many patients, while brow lifts may need touch-ups after 10-12 years. Ptosis repair can last 10-15 years or longer. Maintaining good skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle habits can help extend your results.
Common risks include temporary swelling, bruising, and numbness, while more serious complications can include infection, scarring, asymmetry, dry eyes, or changes in eyelid position. Specific to ptosis repair, there’s a small risk of over- or under-correction. Our team will discuss all risks, side effects, and potential complications with you during the consultation phase.
