Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Melbourne Eye Surgeons

Eyelid surgery refers to a surgical procedure that improves the shape of the eyelids and reduces sagging eyelid skin.

An Upper Blepharoplasty removes the excess or stretched skin of the upper eyelid to reduce a puffy, ‘hooded’ eyelid appearance.

A Lower Blepharoplasty can help surgically reduce under-eye ‘bags’ and provide improvements to under-eye wrinkles, lines and puffiness.

• Refreshed, more youthful eye appearance
• Reduced under-eye bags
• Baggy, puffy skin below your eyes can give you a tired, fatigued appearance.
• Fewer visible fine lines
• Improved vision
• Confidence from physical improvements achieved from Blepharoplasty Surgery
