Droopy eyelids, or dermatochalasis, can be addressed with blepharoplasty. This outpatient procedure can usually be completed in less than one hour. The loose skin above the eyes is removed in a very safe manner that protects the eyes and the surrounding regions. Incision are made in hidden regions and cosmetic closure with tiny sutures ensure that scarring is minimal.

Blepharoplasty can be functional or cosmetic. A functional blepharoplasty refers to the procedure when the dermatochalsis interferes with the patient's field of vision. The surgery results in the patient having better peripheral vision.

If the dermatochalasis is not interfering with the patient's vision, a blepharoplasty can be completed to address any cosmetic concerns that the patient might have. Dermatochalasis can make you look older, and cosmetic blepharoplasty can remove the droopiness of your eyelids responsible for making you look worn and tired.
