What is Blepharoplasty?
The eyes are a central and expressive feature of the face, and their appearance plays a significant role in overall facial aesthetics. However, excess skin or fat accumulation in the upper or lower eyelids can result in a tired or aged appearance, and in some cases, may even impair vision. At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, perform blepharoplasty to address these concerns.This procedure involves the careful removal or repositioning of excess tissue to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance while maintaining the natural character of the eyes.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient's needs. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, the procedure can improve eyelid function and visual field in cases of severe upper eyelid ptosis. Our Surgeons combine technical precision with an artistic approach to achieve results that are both subtle and transformative.
What to Expect
Following blepharoplasty, patients are advised to take several days of rest and refrain from strenuous physical activities to support optimal healing. The application of cold compresses can assist in minimizing postoperative discomfort, swelling, and bruising. While the results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting, it is important to recognize that the natural aging process will continue over time.
To maintain and enhance surgical outcomes, patients may consider adjunctive non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments available at Aesthetica Plastic Surgery’s medical spa. These treatments—including dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser therapies—can further improve skin texture, volume, and tone, contributing to a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Combining surgical and non-surgical approaches allows for a comprehensive, long-term facial rejuvenation strategy tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
My overall experience with Dr. Crofts was Great he takes his time to explain everything and I am extremely happy with my results I did not feel like just a number with him or his staff. I would definitely refer Dr. Crofts to my friend's.
Dr. Crofts is fantastic and does beautiful work. Whether you are interacting with the receptionist, nurses, or Dr. Crofts himself, they are all very kind and personable. Post surgery, the staff is great to answer any questions and return phone calls in a timely manner. It was a great experience from beginning to end.
Dr. Croft and his office staff are very professional. They gave me a warm welcome and made me feel very comfortable during my visit. They answered all of my questions and went above and beyond helping me to make up my mind about what size implants I wanted and even showed me how to know what was the best fit for my body’s shape and size.Dr Croft even helped me to understand that having elective surgery is about having confidence in your body and how it can boost self esteem. In doing so, he helped to ease my feelings of guilt because I felt like I was being “vain” when so many live with disfiguring scars and birth defects.And upon my request, Dr. Croft even gave my husband and I a quick tour of the recovery room and even let us peek into the operating rooms. The tour made us feel even more comfortable with my upcoming procedure.With so much care and thoughtfulness that went into my initial consultation, I’m very much looking forward to my surgery and I have the utmost confidence in choosing Dr. Croft and his staff at Esthetica for my procedure.
Loved my experience with Dr Crofts and all his nurses and assistants were so sweet and supportive to work with post surgery!!!!! I’m so happy with my results
Very good doctor appreciate everything he has done for me

Ideal Candidates
Upper or lower blepharoplasty is a facial cosmetic enhancement that is popular among both men and women. During the initial consult, treatment alternatives will be explained by your Surgeon based on your areas of concern that need to be corrected. Generally, ideal candidates wish to correct excess, sagging skin and folds above their eyes, or puffy skin just under the bottom eyelid. These conditions can cause vision impairment that can get in the way of normal, everyday life. For a more awake facial appearance, blepharoplasty may be the right surgery for you. If you have loose skin that droops on the upper eyelid, or bulging bags under the eyes, blepharoplasty can fix this to give you a more youthful appearance.

Surgical Technique
Depending on the nature of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be used. This surgery may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom portion, or a blend of both eyelids.
- Upper
Upper eyelid surgery assists in decreasing the loose of skin that droops over the eye to produce a more flattering look. An incision is usually made along the lid crease to trim away loose skin and fatty tissue. - Lower
Lower bleph is performed to improve puffy skin underneath the lower eyelid. The incision is placed along the lash line to surgically remove fatty tissue, and the skin is delicately lifted to create a softer, flatter look. In some cases, a nonsurgical laser treatment may be performed to assist with discoloration, while dermal fillers can be used for more smoothness and softening if needed.
Blepharoplasty FAQ
How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Eyelid surgery costs can vary based on whether you are getting an upper eyelid lift, lower, or both. When your surgical plan has been decided during your initial consultation, Dr. One can go over cost estimates. To get natural-looking results that last a long time, it's better to concentrate on choosing an experienced Medical Director whom you trust, like Dr. One, rather than looking for the cheapest place. To help you afford a great eyelid lift, Aesthetica Plastic Surgery accepts several payment methods and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.
Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
If hanging skin is affecting your vision, your insurance may pay for part of your blepharoplasty. Please talk to Dr. One during your initial consultation if you might be using your insurance. A team member at Aesthetica Plastic Surgery can help you get the needed paperwork and information for your provider to process your claim. Typically, you will need a diagnosis from an optometrist or ophthalmologist that blepharoplasty will improve your field of vision.
What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?
Blepharoplasty not only helps to rejuvenate your face, it can also improve other aspects of your life. You may discover your field of vision expanding when excess skin on your upper eyelid is removed. It can also be easier to put on eye shadow and other makeup once your upper lid is smooth. Getting rid of fine lines, paper-thin skin, puffy bags, and dark circles under your eyes can make your eyes appear fuller and brighter without a lot of makeup.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Wrinkles on your forehead and the corners of your eyes (Crow's feet) might be better treated with a brow lift or facelift because the results of the blepharoplasty are confined to the eyelids only. Blepharoplasty may also be combined with a nonsurgical procedure such as BOTOX, which can smooth wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Wrinkle fillers, like Juvéderm or Restylane, can also be effective because it adds volume to hollow areas for a fuller appearance. During your consultation, Dr. One will develop your unique treatment plan based on your goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Skin tightening without surgery and injectable wrinkle treatments (like BOTOX, Juvéderm, and Restylane) can provide mild improvements. Although, if you have moderate to severe loose skin or would like to see results that last a long time, eyelid surgery is better than a nonsurgical treatments. Once you have talked to Dr. One about your needs and goals for your eyes, He will give you His recommendations for your nonsurgical or surgical treatment plan. He might also recommend both nonsurgical and surgical procedures for ideal results.
