Restore a more open, refreshed appearance by addressing excess skin and heaviness of the upper eyelids.

Relieving Heaviness and Restoring Eye Openness

Over time, the upper eyelids can develop excess skin that creates a heavy or drooping appearance. This change can make the eyes look tired, aged, or less expressive, and in some cases, it can even interfere with vision.

Upper eyelid surgery in Jacksonville at Coastal Cosmetic Center is designed to remove excess skin while preserving natural eyelid shape and expression. Led by plastic surgeons Timothy E. Fee, MD, FACS, and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, our approach focuses on precision and balance to achieve results that look refreshed, not surgical.

What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Upper eyelid surgery is a procedure that removes excess skin and, when appropriate, repositions or removes fat from the upper eyelids. The goal is to restore a smoother eyelid contour and improve the openness of the eyes without altering natural expression.

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

The Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery

More Open Appearance: Upper eyelid surgery reduces heaviness and creates a brighter, more alert look.
Improved Facial Balance: Removing excess skin restores harmony between the eyes and surrounding facial features.
Enhanced Visual Comfort: In some cases, reducing excess eyelid skin can improve peripheral vision.
Natural-Looking Results: Surgical techniques are designed to preserve eyelid shape and expression.
Long-Lasting Improvement: Results are intended to age naturally over time.

Is Upper Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

Upper eyelid surgery may be appropriate if excess skin creates a heavy or drooping appearance of the eyes or interferes with vision. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations for improvement.

During consultation, we evaluate eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and facial proportions to determine whether upper eyelid surgery alone or a combined approach is recommended.
