Brighten and Refresh Your Look
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to correct sagging eyelids, remove under-eye bags, and restore a more youthful, rested appearance to your eyes. It can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both, depending on your needs.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of correction. Surgery time can vary but is generally shorter than more extensive facial procedures.
1.
During the procedure, small, carefully placed incisions are made along the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring.
2.
Excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle are removed or repositioned to reduce puffiness, tighten loose skin, and smooth out the contours around the eyes. The goal is to enhance your natural features without looking overdone.
3.
Your treatment plan will be personalized based on your anatomy, aging pattern, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Michelle A. McGill will discuss the most appropriate approach during your consultation.

While eyelid surgery alone can dramatically refresh your appearance, combining it with other cosmetic procedures can further enhance your results and create a more harmonious overall look. A facelift can address deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss in the lower face and neck, complementing the rejuvenation around your eyes for a full facial transformation.
For patients seeking more comprehensive aesthetic improvement, breast augmentation or body contouring procedures can also be considered. Whether you want to enhance your curves, restore volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or achieve a more sculpted silhouette, these treatments can help align your outer appearance with how you feel inside.
During your consultation, Dr. McGill will evaluate your goals and anatomy to recommend a personalized combination of procedures that best supports your vision of beauty—from brighter eyes to a more youthful figure.
Recovery from eyelid surgery typically involves mild swelling, bruising, and tightness, which resolve over the first one to two weeks. You’ll receive detailed post-op care instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimize discomfort. Most patients are able to return to daily activities within 7–10 days.
Blepharoplasty delivers subtle, long-lasting results that can significantly refresh your appearance. While the natural aging process will continue, many patients enjoy brighter, more open eyes for years to come. Setting realistic expectations and discussing your goals openly during your consultation will help ensure the best possible outcome.
