What is Eyelid Lift Surgery?
An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyelids, improving both appearance and functionality. At Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform eyelid lifts to correct drooping eyelids, puffiness under the eyes, and sagging skin that can make you look tired or older than you feel. This procedure can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids to restore a more youthful, refreshed look. In addition to aesthetic benefits, an eyelid lift may also improve peripheral vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs the line of sight. The result is a smoother, more rejuvenated eye area that enhances facial harmony and boosts confidence.

How Is an Eyelid Lift Performed?
An eyelid lift is performed using precise surgical techniques to enhance the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and tissue. The procedure can focus on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your particular needs. Anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort, and incisions are carefully placed in natural creases to minimize visible scarring. The procedure will vary depending on whether the focus is the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
- Upper Eyelid Lift: An incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and fat, reducing hooding and improving vision while creating a more defined eyelid contour
- Lower Eyelid Lift: An incision is placed just below the lower lash line to remove or reposition fat deposits, smooth out under-eye bags, and tighten the skin for a rejuvenated appearance
Once excess tissue is removed or repositioned, the skin is tightened for a more youthful and refreshed look.
What Are the Benefits of an Eyelid Lift?
An eyelid lift offers both cosmetic and functional benefits, helping to refresh the appearance of the eyes while improving vision in some cases. Additional benefits may include:
- Reduces sagging skin for a more youthful look
- Improves vision by eliminating excess upper eyelid skin
- Diminishes under-eye bags and puffiness
- Creates a smoother, more defined eyelid contour
- Enhances overall facial appearance and symmetry

I have had several procedures performed by Dr. Paredes over the last 10 years. In December of 2018 I had my eyelid surgery to lift my eyes and remove the bags underneath. It’s the first elected surgery I have had and the results are fabulous! Forget the creams and do it! Dr. Paredes is an amazing and kind physician and I would recommend anyone to him for any procedure. He’s fabulous!
