Brighten Your Eyes, Renew Your Confidence: What to Know About Blepharoplasty

Your eyes are one of the first features people notice—but they’re also one of the first to show signs of aging. If sagging eyelids or under-eye bags are making you look tired, angry, or older than you feel, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) may be the subtle yet powerful solution you’ve been looking for.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle to restore a smoother, more youthful eye contour. This procedure can be cosmetic or functional—many patients pursue it not only to refresh their appearance but also to correct vision obstruction caused by drooping upper lids.

What Can Eyelid Surgery Address?

• Sagging or loose upper eyelid skin

• Puffy under-eye bags

• Wrinkled or crepey lower eyelid skin

• Vision interference due to drooping lids

While creams and serums can help improve skin texture, they can’t reverse the effects of gravity and aging on the eyelids. Blepharoplasty offers a long-lasting solution with natural-looking results.

How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?

Dr. Lugo performs eyelid surgery with precision and artistry, customizing each procedure based on your facial anatomy and goals.

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: A small incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove or reposition fat and trim excess skin.
  
  
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: The incision is typically hidden just below the lash line or inside the eyelid, allowing access to remove or redistribute fat and tighten skin.
  
  

Both approaches are designed to minimize visible scarring while achieving a refreshed and rested look.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• A brighter, more youthful appearance

• Reduction in “tired” or “angry” look

• Enhanced peripheral vision (in functional cases)

• Smooth, tighter skin around the eyes

• Minimal scarring with natural-looking results

Recovery is typically straightforward, with most patients returning to social activities within 10–14 days and enjoying full results in a matter of weeks.

Is Blepharoplasty Right for You?

If you find yourself lifting your brows to see better, applying eye makeup that disappears under folds, or simply wishing you looked more like you feel—blepharoplasty may be worth exploring. During your consultation, Dr. Lugo will assess your eyelid anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals to determine the best surgical plan for you.
