Eyelid Lift in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

EYELID LIFT PROCEDURE

As we age, the skin around the eyes begins to stretch, the muscles slacken, and fat can accumulate, causing a baggy appearance beneath the eyes.

Lower Eyelid Lift – A surgical procedure called Lower Blepharoplasty, more commonly referred as a Lower Eyelid Lift, removes fat, skin, and – when necessary – muscle around the eye, in order to give the face a tighter, more youthful appearance.

Upper Eyelid Lift – A medical condition known as ptosis, which is caused by poor muscle tone or nerve damage, can cause the upper eyelids to droop. A surgical procedure called Upper Blepharoplasty, more commonly referred as an Upper Eyelid Lift, is a procedure which removes fat, skin, and – when necessary – muscle around the eye, in order to give the face a tighter, more youthful appearance.
