The Windows of The Soul
The eyes are often referred to as the "windows of the soul" because the eyes tell so much about you. Bright, open eyes show the world you are happy, young, and full of energy. Drooping, angry-looking eyes make you look tired and appear older. Unfortunately, the skin around your eyes is one of the first areas to show age.
Everything from sun exposure to seasonal allergies can cause the adjacent skin to lose elasticity. With board-certified Plastic Surgeon, Michael N. Mirzabeigi, MD, Blepharoplasty operations are used to diminish wrinkles, remove loose skin, tighten tissues, and even reshape the eye, gently giving you a younger, refreshed look. Start your journey to rejuvenate your eyes by scheduling a blepharoplasty consultation today!
Rejuvenate your eyes
One of the most prevalent cosmetic operations is cosmetic eyelid surgery, generally known as Blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. It addresses issues such as droopy eyelids, excess skin, and puffiness caused by fat deposits, which can make the eyes look tired or aged. By removing or repositioning excess skin and fat, Blepharoplasty helps create a more youthful, refreshed appearance around the eyes.
Dr. Mirzabeigi specializes in cosmetic Blepharoplasty surgery, delivering dramatic yet natural-looking results. While your eyes will appear more alert and rejuvenated, the changes are often subtle enough that friends may simply notice that you look more refreshed without realizing you've had surgery.
Your Aesthetic Options
Yes, there are different types of blepharoplasty procedures, each designed to target specific concerns around the eyes. Depending on your needs, Dr. Mirzabeigi may recommend one or a combination of these procedures to achieve your desired results.
Lower blepharoplasty focuses on the lower eyelids and is typically used to address issues like puffiness, under-eye bags, and sagging skin. By removing or repositioning excess fat and tightening loose skin, this procedure helps create a smoother, more youthful look under the eyes.
Upper blepharoplasty corrects drooping or hooded upper eyelids, which can impair vision or give the eyes a tired appearance. This procedure removes excess skin and, if necessary, fat, helping to lift and open the eyes, making you look more alert and refreshed.
Bilateral eyelid surgery refers to performing both upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time. This comprehensive approach rejuvenates the entire eye area, addressing both sagging upper eyelids and puffiness or bags under the eyes, for a fully refreshed appearance.
Look rested
Often when your eyelids sag, it can cause your line of sight to be limited or reduced. Blepharoplasty helps improve your eyesight by removing the excess skin defining your vision. Without the extra skin, you will reduce most irritation and redness around your eyes. In addition, Blepharoplasty removes the dark circles and the hollowing of your lower eyelid. All of these benefits contribute to your new rested and youthful eyes. People will be asking how you look so rejuvenated with a Blepharoplasty.
The benefits of Blepharoplasty include:
Happy eyes
People seeking anti-aging procedures are most likely to seek out Blepharoplasty. Sagging skin around your eyes is a natural part of aging, but you may want to explore this type of surgery if you're starting to find it annoying. Candidates may also consider Blepharoplasty if they have noticeable bags under their eyes or their brows begin to sag.
For some folks, Blepharoplasty is more than just a cosmetic procedure. If sagging skin interferes with your eyesight, you may be an excellent candidate for this operation. Some people may claim that the dangling skin obstructs their vision when they gaze up. Dr. Mirzabeigi listens to all of your concerns regarding your eyes and constructs a tailored plan and procedure to give you the best, lasting results.
Precise reshaping
A Blepharoplasty can be performed either in the office or in the operating room as an outpatient procedure. That implies you'll be able to go home soon following the surgery. If addressing the upper eyelids, Dr. Mirzabeigi will make a small incision and remove extra skin and muscle.
A lower blepharoplasty typically involves the removal of fat, which contributes to under-eye bags and a small amount of skin. The incision can be made either inside or outside the eyelid, beneath the lower lashes. In addition, the lower eyelid may be tightened or fastened to the bone skeleton in some people. With delicate hands, Dr. Mirzabeigi will precisely reshape your eyelids to ensure your satisfaction with your younger look.
A youthful glow
The Blepharoplasty recovery period is relatively short compared to other operation types. Following eyelid surgery, it is necessary to relax for a few days. You may get swelling and pain that is easily managed with over-the-counter medications. It may take a week or two for these symptoms to subside. Dr. Mirzabeigi may also suggest using cold packs for the next few days. Our Altanta Blepharoplasty patients can achieve the best results by following Dr. Mirzabeigi's post-operative instructions.
Delay the effects of aging
With Blepharoplasty Atlanta patients can experience long-lasting benefits. The lifetime of outcomes varies significantly across patients, but Blepharoplasty results should last for many years.
After a few years, the skin on the top eyelids may begin to sag again. One common cause is that the brow and forehead sag over time, pressing down on the skin above the eyelids. In such circumstances, adding a brow lift may be beneficial to raise and smooth the skin on your brow.
The cost of blepharoplasty is personalized to each patient, as it depends on the complexity of the surgery, the techniques used, and whether it’s combined with other procedures. Factors like geographic location can also affect pricing. Typically, the cost of blepharoplasty includes surgical fees, anesthesia, and facility fees. During your consultation, we’ll provide a customized quote based on your individual needs and goals.

After the healing process is complete, there are usually no visible scars. Dr. Mirzabeigi uses natural skin folds to guide his precise incisions in the eyelids.
Some soreness is to be expected following any surgical treatment. However, most eyelid treatments cause relatively little discomfort in patients. Patients commonly use over-the-counter pain relievers and cold packs.
Results from blepharoplasty can last 10 to 15 years, and depending on lifestyle and aging, some patients enjoy long-lasting improvements even beyond that.
Eyelid surgery and blepharoplasty are the same procedure, both designed to enhance the appearance of the upper or lower eyelids.
While there’s no perfect age, most patients seek blepharoplasty in their 40s to 60s, when signs of aging around the eyes become more noticeable.
