Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Tampa

Eyelid surgery in Tampa helps you achieve a more elegant, youthful first impression.

What is a blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. Age and genetics can cause drooping, sagging, and excess folds to appear, compromising your smile. Eyelid surgery can:

Eliminate under-eye bags
Remove upper eye puffiness
Reduce the amount of excess skin surrounding the eyes
Rejuvenate the overall facial appearance

There are also practical reasons to pursue eyelid surgery. For some, eyesight is restricted by excess fat or skin around the eyes. Eyelid surgery can restore full vision, elevating your quality of life. This procedure is often performed in tandem with facelifts, brow lifts, or rhinoplasties.
