Blepharoplasty in Detroit, MI

What is blepharoplasty?

Younger Looking Eyes

At our office in Detroit Blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift, is a treatment that removes skin and adds or removes fat from the eyelids. The term "eyelid lift " is misleading because the eyelid is not genuinely lifted after surgery. Upper blepharoplasty surgery makes use of incisions to remove skin and fat. The skin is then brought together with a tiny suture to allow an eyelid crease formation. Lower eyelid surgery may include skin incisions just beneath the lash line or an incision on the inside of the eyelid. This technique offers access to the eyelid without visible incisions, making it ideal for patients who need fat removed or added.
