Eyelid Lift

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is the treatment for removing bags under the eyes or the drooping, hanging skin of the upper lids. These conditions can add years to your appearance, make you look tired, and even impair your vision.

Dr. Shire uses advanced techniques with no incisions and no stitches to correct the lower eyelids, and only a small incision in the natural fold of the upper eyelid. The result is a natural appearance that will not change the shape of the eye and avoids the starry-eyed look of having had surgery.

Most patients are back to their normal routine within a few days, although complete recovery may take a few weeks. Swelling and bruising are minimal and everyone recovers at his or her own rate. There is no pain associated with these procedures.
