A Brighter, More Rested Appearance

The eyes are often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Excess upper eyelid skin, under-eye puffiness, or drooping lids can create a tired or heavy appearance that doesn’t reflect how you feel.

Eyelid surgery in Jacksonville at Coastal Cosmetic Center is designed to rejuvenate the eye area while preserving natural expression and facial character. Led by plastic surgeons Timothy E. Fee, MD, FACS, and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, our approach focuses on precision, restraint, and long-term results rather than dramatic change.

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and tissue from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The goal is to create a more open, refreshed appearance while maintaining natural facial balance.

At Coastal Cosmetic Center, eyelid surgery is performed in our fully accredited, on-site surgical center in Jacksonville, allowing for continuity of care from consultation through recovery.

Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the concerns being addressed and the desired outcome. During consultation, we evaluate eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and facial balance to determine the most appropriate approach.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and, in some cases, repositioning or removing fat that causes the upper eyelids to appear heavy or droopy. This procedure can help restore a more open, alert appearance and may improve visual obstruction caused by excess skin.

Upper eyelid surgery is often chosen by patients who feel their eyes look tired or weighed down, even when well rested.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery addresses puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose skin beneath the eyes. The procedure may involve repositioning or removing fat and tightening the skin to smooth the under-eye area while preserving natural contours.

Lower eyelid surgery is commonly selected by patients who are bothered by under-eye fullness or a hollowed, fatigued appearance that does not improve with non-surgical treatments.

Combined Eyelid Surgery

In some cases, upper and lower eyelid surgery is performed together to create a more balanced and refreshed result. Combining procedures allows for comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area in a single surgical plan.

The appropriate approach is determined on an individual basis, with recommendations guided by anatomy, goals, and safety considerations.

The Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Refreshed Appearance: Eyelid surgery helps reduce heaviness and puffiness around the eyes, creating a more rested look.
Improved Facial Balance: The procedure restores harmony between the eyes and surrounding facial features.
Enhanced Eye Openness: Removing excess upper eyelid skin can help the eyes appear more open and alert.
Natural-Looking Results: Surgical techniques are designed to preserve expression and avoid an overdone appearance.
Long-Lasting Improvement: Results are designed to age naturally over time rather than provide a temporary fix.

Is Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

Eyelid surgery may be appropriate if you experience drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or a tired appearance that does not improve with rest or non-surgical treatments. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations for improvement.

During consultation, we evaluate eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and facial structure to determine whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combined approach is most appropriate.
