Another popular cosmetic surgery procedure that can produce dramatic results is eyelid surgery. Eyelid cosmetic surgery, offered at our Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach area practice, can produce dramatic results and age defying results. Your eyes are one of your most important features. Don't let droopy, sagging, or puffy eyelid skin make you look tired or older than you really are. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can dramatically improve the appearance of skin around your eyes, making you look well rested, refreshed, and more youthful. Eyelid surgery can also restore vision to some patients whose vision has been impaired by sagging eyelids.

Eyelid surgery is a surgical method of removing surplus skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelid. Our plastic surgeons in Jacksonville will first make an incision down the length of the eyelid, and then the unwanted skin, excess fat, and unnecessary muscle are removed. Lastly, the incision is stitched closed. Performed as an outpatient procedure under anesthesia to patients in the Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra Beach area, eyelid surgery takes about one to three hours. Side effects last about ten days after eyelid surgery and include swelling, bruising, dry eyes, and light sensitivity.
