Eyelid Lift
Do your eyes make you look more tired or older than you feel? If sagging skin, puffiness, or drooping lids are impacting your appearance (or even your vision) eyelid lift surgery could help. Also known as blepharoplasty, this procedure rejuvenates the area around your eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle that cause a heavy or worn-down look. The result is a smoother, more youthful contour that helps you look rested, alert, and refreshed.
At Bluewater Plastic Surgery, Dr. Steven Clark is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing both upper and lower eyelid lifts. His approach prioritizes subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your features without making you look “overdone.” Whether you're looking to correct vision interference or just want to look more vibrant, Dr. Clark can help you explore your options and determine the best plan of care.

What Is An Eyelid Lift?
Over time, the delicate skin around our eyes can begin to droop and sag due to natural aging processes, lifestyle factors, and even genetics, often leading to a tired or even older appearance. Also called ptosis, this condition may also impact vision in severe cases.
An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess tissue from the upper or lower eyelids, restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated look. There are two types of eyelid lifts:
- Upper Eyelid Lift: With this approach, a small incision is made along the upper eyelid crease so that excess skin and fat can be removed. The surgeon then readjusts the underlying muscle and tissue before closing the incision.
- Lower Eyelid Lift: Here, an incision is made along the lower lash line or inside the eyelid. This allows for the removal of excess skin and fat, as well as the repositioning of muscle and tissue to address puffiness, bags, and wrinkles.
Both methods aim to create a smoother and more refreshed look by removing sagging or excess tissue in the eye area. In some cases, these can be done as an outpatient procedure in our office, depending on the extent of correction needed.
What to Expect After Eyelid Lift Surgery
Recovery from an eyelid lift typically involves swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Diligently following post-surgery care instructions can support a smooth recovery process and help you achieve the best possible aesthetic outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for eyelid lift surgery?
You're likely a good candidate for eyelid lift surgery if you have drooping eyelids, excess skin, puffiness, or under-eye bags that make you look tired or interfere with vision. Ideal candidates are in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. During your consultation, Dr. Clark will examine your eyelids and discuss your goals to determine whether an upper eyelid lift, lower eyelid lift, or both are right for you.
What are the benefits of an eyelid lift?
Eyelid lift surgery can dramatically improve both your appearance and, in some cases, your vision. By removing sagging skin and repositioning fat and muscle, the procedure brightens the eye area and reduces puffiness, wrinkles, and heaviness. Many patients report looking younger, more rested, and more alert. It’s a small change with the potential for significant aesthetic and functional benefits.
How much does an eyelid lift surgery cost?
Like all plastic surgeries, the cost of these procedures varies depending on your individual needs and the complexity of the surgery. After your consultation, Dr. Clark will provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, including any additional fees for follow-up care.
