Fat deposits and excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids can result in drooping upper lids and puffy bags below the eyes. These excess fat deposits may interfere with your vision and make it appear as if you are tired or older than your actual age.
An incision is made along the natural lines on your eyelids, the creases of your upper lids and the crease just below the lower lids. Excess fat deposits and sagging skin is removed and the incisions closed.
Only a skilled plastic surgeon can determine the eyelid procedure that best addresses the number and size of fat deposits and fine lines around the eyes. At The Plastic Surgery Group, our plastic surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and have years of experience in eyelid procedures. Setting realistic expectations from your eyelid surgery and discussing those options with your surgeon will help maximize your result.
