Eyelid Surgery

Are you bothered by drooping eyelids, excess skin, or puffiness around your eyes? With age, eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess skin and fat can gather above and below your eyelids.

Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, can help restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance to your eyes while also improving your field of vision. Dr. Esters specializes in eyelid surgery, offering safe and effective procedures tailored to your unique needs. Depending on the severity of the drooping eyelids this procedure may or may not be covered by insurance. A visual field test will be performed to measure the severity to determine if this is a covered procedure. Our staff will guide you through this entire process from start to finish.

Why Consider Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is a popular cosmetic and functional procedure that offers numerous benefits:

  • Enhanced Appearance: Eyelid surgery can address sagging or puffy eyelids, wrinkles, and fine lines, helping you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
  • Improved Vision: In cases where drooping upper eyelids obstruct your vision, blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and improve your field of vision, enhancing both your appearance and functionality.
  • Boosted Confidence: Feeling more confident about your appearance can have a positive impact on your self-esteem and overall well-being.
  • Reduced Eye Fatigue: Eliminating excess skin and fat can reduce the strain on your eye muscles, potentially alleviating eye fatigue and discomfort.
