Key Takeaways
- Upper blepharoplasty reduces excess hooding skin, while lower blepharoplasty smooths under-eye bags and dark circles.
- Incisions are hidden within the eyelid crease and lash line, leaving scars that are virtually invisible.
- Final blepharoplasty results are visible within one to eight weeks once swelling and bruising fully subside.
- Non-surgical options include Botox, dermal fillers for tear troughs, Morpheus8, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing.
- Typical blepharoplasty candidates are 35 and older, though younger patients with genetic eyelid issues may also qualify.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or eyelid lift, is a procedure performed on the upper and/or lower eyelids to provide a more alert and rejuvenated appearance.
An Upper Blepharoplasty focuses on reducing excess skin that hangs over the eyes, causing a hooded appearance. A Lower Blepharoplasty smooths puffy bags and dark circles under the eyes.
Procedure and Recovery
Local anesthesia is used to keep patients pain-free, and incisions and scars are hidden well within the eyelid crease and/or lash line.
Patients are generally back to themselves within a couple of weeks. Final results can be seen in one month to 8 weeks, once the minimal amount of swelling and bruising subsides. Each patient is different.
Who is a Candidate?
Although the typical patient is 35 years of age or older, younger individuals may also choose to undergo the procedure if they have eyelid issues that are genetic.
Many of Dr. Wise’s patients seek this procedure to correct puffy bags and loose skin under the eyes, sagging skin on the upper eyelid, and fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
The best way to know if you’re a candidate for a blepharoplasty is by scheduling a complimentary consultation with Dr. Wise so he can give you his professional recommendation.
Non-Surgical Solutions
While blepharoplasty is the most effective procedure for rejuvenating the eyes, there is a range of non-surgical treatments that can make your eyes look younger without requiring incisions.
Neurotoxins such as Botox can help elevate the outer area of the eyebrows and soften wrinkles between the eyebrows.
Dermal Fillers can be used to fill the depression in the tear trough area or the hollows under the eyes.
Crepey skin and discoloration of the lower eyelid skin can be addressed with Morpheus8, a chemical peel, or laser skin resurfacing treatments.
