Tired of your eyelids making you look tired? When you have baggy eyes, they can make you look older and impede on your vision. At Cleveland Plastic Surgery Institute, we know how important it is to have bright, more expressive eyes as you get older or suffer from conditions that make you appear older. That’s where blepharoplasty comes into play.
More commonly known as eyelid surgery, this cosmetic procedure involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids to create a more youthful and refreshed look. Blepharoplasty can help reduce sagging eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, giving you a more rejuvenated look.
These procedures can be performed together or separately.

Blepharoplasty before & afters.
If you have low-hanging or “baggy” eyelids then you can benefit from a blepharoplasty.
During the procedure, small incisions are made along your eyelids. Through these incisions, an instrument is inserted to separate your eyelid skin from the fat beneath it. The fat is removed and any unnecessary skin is trimmed off. For lower eyelid surgery, an incision is made on the inside of the eyelid, eliminating any risk of scarring. This procedure is best for patients who have fat under their eyes but not an excessive amount of skin.
Once the fat and skin have been removed, the incisions will be closed. The entire blepharoplasty takes about 60-150 minutes and is performed as an outpatient procedure.
After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, bruising, and swelling. You will be able to return to work within 7-10 days.
Dr. Leedy and his staff were easy to work with and worked closely with me to ensure I felt comfortable and prepared. From scheduling, to the actual surgery, and through the recovery, I am extremely happy with the entire process. On top of that, the results of my surgery could not have turned out better. I would highly recommend Dr. Leedy!
