Precision Surgery to Rejuvenate the Appearance of Your Eyes
Blepharoplasty precisely targets and removes the droopy, excessive skin from the the eyelid (Upper Blepharoplasty) and the fatty protrusions around the lower lid (Lower Blepharoplasty). It rejuvenates the contour, smooths the skin, and brigthens the appearance of the eye.

Lower blepharoplasty corrects
- Herniated orbital fat (bags under the eye).
- Rough skin under the eye
