At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we offer two types of blepharoplasty: lower eyelid lift and upper eyelid lift. Both address different parts of the eye. During your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals to determine which one is right for you.
In an upper eyelid, we will make incisions in the natural crease of your upper eyelid. If your eyes are open, these incisions aren’t visible. Your provider will remove excess skin and fat, and then they’ll close the incisions.
When we do a lower eyelid lift, we will make an incision just below your lower eyelash line. We use this incision to remove excess skin in your lower eyelid. We might also use an incision hidden inside your lower eyelid to fix lower eyelid issues and redistribute or remove excess fat.
