BLEPHAROPLASTY (EYELID SURGERY)

As we get older, our face is by far the biggest betrayers of our advancing age. The natural slow-down in our bodies’ production of collagen and elastin – the building blocks of healthy, hydrated, and taut skin – causes dryness, sagging and the development of fine lines and wrinkles.


The skin around our eyes is particularly thin and sensitive and is often the first area to show the signs of aging. In many patients, this means that the upper or lower eyelids, or sometimes both, begin to sag. In the case of the upper lids, some people may find that the sagging is so severe that their vision is partially obscured.

Fortunately, there is a way to rectify the problem of excess skin and lines around your eyes that can help you look more youthful – a procedure known as blepharoplasty. Here at the Weston Center for Plastic Surgery, our board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Eberle, has extensive experience and knowledge in providing outstanding quality procedures, including blepharoplasty.

Am I a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty?

Every case that we see is assessed on a completely individual basis. You will need to have your candidacy assessed by Dr. Eberle before you can be approved for any type of cosmetic surgery, including blepharoplasty.

People who are usually granted approval for this cosmetic surgery procedure usually suffer from any of the following:

  • Drooping upper eyelids

  • Drooping lower eyelids

  • Moderate to large bags under the eyes

  • Excess skin on the lower eyelids, often hanging so low it shows more of the eyeball than is considered ‘normal’

  • Excessive skin on the upper eyelids, sometimes this might interrupt your vision.


If you would like to discuss your candidacy for blepharoplasty or any other type of cosmetic surgery procedure, call your Weston Plastic Surgery Center today at 954-960-3050.
