Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or an “eye lift,” provides people with a safe, effective means of correcting puffiness or sagging of the eyelids.

1. Blepharoplasty Offers a
Rested, Youthful Appearance

2. Named one of the top five
rhinoplasty surgeons in the
world by W magazine, facial
plastic surgeon Dr. Dean
Toriumi helps patients gain
confidence and satisfaction
through innovative medical
treatment. Dean Toriumi

3. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid
surgery or an “eye lift,” provides people with
a safe, effective means of correcting
puffiness or sagging of the eyelids. As
people age, a combination of gravity and
loss of skin elasticity causes the upper lids
to droop. While most people correct the
issue for cosmetic purposes, others
undertake the surgery to improve vision
problems stemming from baggy lids.

4. Eyelid surgery offers the opportunity to regain the
wide-awake, rested appearance associated with
youth. Many people choose to combine the surgery
with other cosmetic procedures such as injections of
fillers, forehead lifts, and laser resurfacing. The
downtime associated with these treatments tends to
be minimal. Most patients realize good results lasting
from five to seven years for upper eyelid
blepharoplasty, but those who undergo lower eyelid
surgery generally need no further treatment. Facial
plastic surgeons often perform both lower and upper
eyelid surgery at day surgery centers. In some
cases, patients’ insurance covers the procedure.
