Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)


Bright­en and refresh your look with eye­lid surgery. Ble­pharo­plas­ty, often called eye­lid surgery, is a pro­ce­dure that can improve the appear­ance of the upper eye­lids, low­er eye­lids, or both. By remov­ing excess skin, fat, or mus­cle, this treat­ment can help reduce puffi­ness, sag­ging, and tired-look­ing eyes — restor­ing a more youth­ful and ener­gized appearance.

What is Eye­lid Surgery?

Eye­lid surgery is designed to address the nat­ur­al changes that hap­pen as we age, like droop­ing lids or under-eye bags. For some, these changes affect appear­ance, while for oth­ers they may even impact vision. Dur­ing the pro­ce­dure, your sur­geon care­ful­ly removes or repo­si­tions tis­sue to smooth and reju­ve­nate the eye area.

Eye­lid surgery or ble­pharo­plas­ty is also com­mon­ly referred to as upper bleph or low­er bleph surgery. 

Why Choose Eye­lid Surgery?

  • Reduces puffi­ness and under-eye bags
  • Lifts sag­ging or droop­ing upper eyelids
  • Cre­ates a more rest­ed, youth­ful look
  • May improve periph­er­al vision if sag­ging lids inter­fere with sight
  • Can be com­bined with oth­er facial pro­ce­dures for over­all facial rejuvenation

What to Expect

Ble­pharo­plas­ty is typ­i­cal­ly per­formed as an out­pa­tient pro­ce­dure with local anes­the­sia and seda­tion or gen­er­al anes­the­sia, depend­ing on your needs. Recov­ery time varies, but most patients return to nor­mal activ­i­ties with­in 1 – 2 weeks. Your sur­geon will pro­vide detailed instruc­tions on car­ing for your eyes and what to expect dur­ing healing.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Daniel G. Danahey, MD, PhD

He found that my eyes were too heavy and blocking my view. II had the surgery that Dr. Danahey recommended and healed very quickly and did not even have to take pain medication. I would highly recommend Dr. Danahey to handle any surgery procedure as I trust him and the outcome of the surgery is great. His staff and nurses are very professional and at the top of their game.I have had a lot of surgeries and this was one with the best out come.
