COSMETIC EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY)

Eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty, is a procedure that eliminates excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery corrects drooping upper lids as well as bags under the eyes. These features can make you look tired or sad and may interfere with your vision.

Dr. Clavin is able to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids by making an incision that is hidden within the natural fold of the upper eyelid. It is through this incision that excess skin and fatty tissue are removed. Since the incision follows the natural contour of the upper eyelid, it will be well hidden when healed. Dr. Clavin improves the appearance of the lower eyelids by making an incision just below the lower lashes. It is through this incision that he is able to remove any excess skin or fat to eliminate puffiness of bulging underneath the eyelid. Dr. Clavin also performs the transconjunctival blepharoplasty for lower eyelid surgery. In this procedure an incision is made inside your lower eyelid in order to remove excess fat. The incision is then closed with dissolving sutures.

In Dr. Clavin's hands, bruising and discomfort is usually very slight. Eyelids can be improved dramatically with no visible scar. Dr. Clavin also offers laser eyelid surgery to all patients.

Dr. Clavin's eyelid surgery offers permanent, positive results leaving the patient with a more youthful and alert appearance.
