What can cosmetic eyelid surgery do for you?

Are you noticing puffiness around your eyes that just won't disappear—even when you've had a good night's sleep? Many women and men are turning to cosmetic eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, to minimize the effects of aging and look more rested and refreshed.

Even people in their 20s and 30s are benefiting from this procedure. Blepharoplasty can be done on the upper or lower eyelids, or both.

You may be a candidate for upper eyelid surgery
if you have:

  • Excess skin that hides the natural fold of the
    upper eyelids
  • Loose skin that hangs down from the upper eyelids
  • Puffiness in the upper eyelids that creates a
    tired look

Lower eyelid surgery may be right for you
if you have:

  • Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids
  • Puffy "bags" under the eyes


Patient of the month
In some cases, Dr. Parungao may suggest that you combine other cosmetic treatments with eyelid surgery to meet your appearance goals. For example, if your eyebrows sag, they can be tightened and smoothed with a forehead lift.

Ask Dr. Parungao

    'I don't look tired anymore!'

"In my job, I have to face the public," says Carmen, 59. "People were always telling me I looked tired—even when I wasn't."

Carmen had upper- and lower-eyelid surgery and is very pleased with
the results.

"Now I'm getting compliments every day!" she smiles. "When my co-workers look at me, they know there's something different, but they don't know what it is."

Can eyelid surgery take away the dark circles
under my eyes?

No. Dark circles are caused by thin skin under the eyes that allows onlookers to see the network of blood vessels underneath. This gives the lower eyelids a bluish hue. No surgery, laser or beauty cream can get rid of those dark circles. Vitamin K, however, has been reported to help.

Is eyelid surgery covered by insurance?

Sometimes. If sagging upper eyelids are obstructing your vision, insurance may cover eyelid surgery. Without documentation that your vision is being obstructed, blepharoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure.
