Eyelid Surgery

If your eyes look tired—even when you feel great—eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can help restore a brighter, more rested appearance. This procedure addresses drooping upper lids and under-eye puffiness, and in some cases may improve vision when excess upper-lid skin blocks the field of view.

At Northern Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Aaron Capuano tailors your plan based on your anatomy and goals. Options may include:

• Upper blepharoplasty: removes or repositions excess skin and fat that can create a heavy, hooded look
• Lower blepharoplasty: smooths under-eye bags by removing or repositioning fat and tightening skin when appropriate
• Canthopexy (when needed): supports the lower lid for improved shape and stability

Recovery varies, but most patients experience temporary swelling and bruising at first and return to many normal activities within about a week, with continued improvement over the following weeks. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, discuss risks and alternatives (including non-surgical options like laser resurfacing or injectables), and outline what to expect before and after surgery.
