Welcome to Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Daniel Ebroon, M.D.

Hundreds of thousands of women and men elect cosmetic eyelid surgery every year in order to enhance their appearance. Often, a brow lift or forehead lift is added to enhance the effects of cosmetic eyelid surgery. Droopy eyelids, under eye bags, and wrinkles under the eyes can all be reduced with cosmetic eyelid surgery. The ideal patient understands the benefits and limitations of blepharoplasty and has realistic expectations of what can be achieved. Good candidates desire to enhance the appearance of their eyes; generally regarded as the most important facial feature.

Your eyes are often the first thing people notice about your face and are important aspects of facial attractiveness. The eyelids protect one's eyes in addition to adding to their cosmetic appearance.

Unfortunately, over time your upper and/or lower eyelids may become "droppy" or "baggy" because the eylid skin stretches, muscles weaken, and fat pockets bulge and become more prominent. This most commonly occurs because of the aging process but also may be a hereditary condtion that runs in your family. Your eyebrows also may sag or droop as a part of the same process.

Aesthetically, such conditions may detract from overall attractiveness of one's eyes and cause a "tired" or oler appearance. When sever, these conditions also may cause functional problems, such as impaired field of vision (baggy upper eyelids) or difficulty wearing glasses (baggy lower eyelids).

Eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of the eyelids is termed blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty surgery is usually an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation if desired.

The goal of this eyelid surgery is to reduce the "baggy" or sagging tissues, which may include skin, muscle, and fat pockets. During surgery, incisions are made in the natural folds of the eyelid ( in the crease of the upper eyelid and just beneath the lashes or behind the lower eyelid) so that they are virtually unnoticeable after the tissues have healed. In cases where the eyebrows are also droopy, a prcedure to elevate the eyebrows may be appropriate. This procedure is known as a forehead lift.

Cosmetic eyelid and eyebrow surgery is commonly performed by Dr. Ebroon who is a board certified Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in disease and conditions affecting the eyelids, lacrimal (tear) system, the orbit ( bone cavity around the eye), and adjacent facial structures.
