Do sagging eyelids make you look tired or even interfere with your vision? Over time, delicate eyelid skin can stretch and weaken, causing droopy upper lids or puffy under-eye bags. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can correct these issues, enhancing how you look and how you see the world. Whether you want to restore a youthful appearance or peripheral vision, Dr. Paul Afrooz delivers precise, natural-looking results for patients throughout Miami and South Florida.
Eye Aging Basics and How Blepharoplasty Can Help
Eyelid aging occurs due to a combination of factors, such as:
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Weakened muscles
- Genetics and lifestyle
Droopy upper eyelids can affect your vision, making everyday activities—like reading, driving, or even social interactions—more difficult.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly effective procedure to correct these concerns. By carefully removing excess skin, tightening weakened muscles, and repositioning or removing fat deposits, blepharoplasty restores a smoother, more youthful eyelid contour. Results include improved peripheral vision and a brighter, refreshed appearance that enhances your natural beauty.
Types of Eyelid Surgery
Upper Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)
This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid to:
- Restore your natural eyelid contour
- Improve peripheral vision obstructed by droopy lids
- Create a more refreshed and alert appearance
Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)
Lower blepharoplasty focuses on removing or repositioning excess fat under the eyes to:
- Eliminate puffy under-eye bags
- Smooth fine lines and sagging skin beneath the eyes
- Rejuvenate your overall facial appearance
Asian Eyelid Surgery (Double Eyelid Surgery)
For patients of Asian descent, Dr. Afrooz specializes in creating a natural-looking eyelid crease. This procedure widens the eyes and enhances eyelid definition while respecting each patient’s unique ethnic features.
The Surgical Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
One of blepharoplasty’s most significant benefits is its minimal downtime and recovery.
Unlike more invasive surgical procedures, eyelid surgery offers transformative results with minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their daily routines within 1–2 weeks, with swelling and bruising subsiding quickly.
The benefits of blepharoplasty are also long-lasting—many patients enjoy their results for 10–15 years or more, depending on lifestyle and genetics. With proper care and maintenance, the refreshed, youthful appearance achieved with eyelid surgery can provide years of confidence and satisfaction.
Am I a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if:
- Droopy upper eyelids obstruct your vision
- Sagging eyelid skin makes you look tired or older than you feel
- You have persistent under-eye bags or puffiness
- You are in good general health and have realistic expectations
