The skin of the eyelids is exceptionally thin and fragile, making it prone to drooping over the years. If your eyelids have become noticeably wrinkled or creased, if the skin of your upper eyelids is sagging down toward your lash line or if your lower eyelids have developed drooping, puffy bags, eyelid surgery — also called blepharoplasty — may be right for you. Blepharoplasty can give your eyes a more open and alert look, restoring youthful energy to your entire face.

The state-of-the-art surgical facility at Umansky Plastic Surgery attracts numerous facial plastic surgery patients every year. Drs. Jeffrey and William Umansky have helped numerous individuals from throughout Southern California take years off their faces with blepharoplasty. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with a brow lift or facelift for complete facial rejuvenation.

Eyelid Surgery in La Jolla: Is It For Me?

At Umansky Plastic Surgery, we perform blepharoplasty to refine the upper and lower eyelids. The area around the eyes is particularly important to the overall appearance of the face. Puffy or wrinkled skin under the eyes and loose, sagging upper eyelid skin can make a person look tired or years older.

To decrease puffiness in the lower lid, the surgeon makes an incision along the natural crease just blow the eyelashes, and then removes excess fat and skin. Because of the placement of the incision, the fine surgical scars are usually inconspicuous. Similarly, to improve the upper lid, an incision is made in the crease above the lid. Excess skin is removed to smooth the eyelid and create a more youthful appearance. Some patients undergo this procedure in conjunction with a brow lift to give a refreshed appearance to the upper face.
