Reveal Brighter, Rested Eyes with an Eye Lift

Performed by a Featured Facial Surgeon

An eye lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes. It helps reduce puffiness, drooping eyelids, and under-eye bags — restoring a youthful, energized look to the upper face.

Whether cosmetic or functional, eye lifts create a subtle yet powerful transformation. They’re among the most requested facial surgeries for both women and men, offering dramatic results with minimal downtime and long-lasting benefits.

What Are the Types of Eye Lifts Available?

There are different blepharoplasty techniques based on which part of the eyelid is treated, and whether the goal is cosmetic or medical.

Upper Eyelid
                 Blepharoplasty

Removes sagging skin and fat from the upper eyelid to create a more open, alert look.

Lower Eyelid
                 Blepharoplasty

Reduces bags, puffiness, and under-eye hollows by removing or repositioning fat.

Transconjunctival
                 Blepharoplasty

Performs fat removal from the inside of the lower eyelid — no external incision.

Pinch Blepharoplasty

Minimally invasive skin-tightening of the lower eyelid using a conservative technique.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Creates or enhances an upper eyelid crease, improving eyelid definition.

Functional Blepharoplasty

Performed to improve vision when sagging eyelids obstruct the visual field.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lifts drooping lids to open and brighten the eyes

This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid, helping patients look more awake and youthful. It’s often performed under local anesthesia with minimal scarring. Ideal for individuals with hooded eyes or a heavy brow appearance.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Eliminates puffiness and bags beneath the eyes

By adjusting or removing fat under the eye, this technique smooths out bags and reduces under-eye shadows. Skin can also be tightened if needed. Recovery is short, and results are natural-looking and long-lasting.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

Fat removal through an internal incision, no visible scar

This technique is ideal for younger patients with under-eye bags but good skin elasticity. The incision is hidden inside the eyelid, reducing the risk of visible scarring or shape change. It preserves the natural contour of the lower lid.

Pinch Blepharoplasty

Minimally invasive lift for mild skin laxity

A conservative technique that “pinches” and removes only excess skin from the lower eyelid. No fat is touched, making it ideal for minor cases or touch-ups. Downtime is minimal and healing is fast.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Creates a defined upper eyelid crease for aesthetic balance

This specialized procedure creates a visible crease in the upper eyelid, helping to open the eye and improve eyelid definition. It can provide a more alert, balanced appearance and is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. Several techniques are used depending on eyelid structure and desired results.

Functional Blepharoplasty

restore visual field by lifting obstructive eyelid skin

When heavy upper eyelids impair vision, this procedure is often medically necessary and may be covered by insurance. It improves both appearance and eye function. Often combined with brow lift for optimal results.
