Your eyes are usually the first thing people notice as you exchange eye contact or engage in conversation. Whether smiling or frowning, your eyes are constantly conveying expressions. Due to the wrinkling and stretching of eyelid skin, this area may be the first to show the signs of aging. Fortunately, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and browlift surgery (browplasty) can improve your appearance safely and effectively.
Common Questions

What are restrictions following surgery?
Resume driving and reading after two to three days Return to work after seven to ten days Return to strenuous activity in two to three weeks.
