This advanced procedure is meticulously designed to correct droopy eyelids by removing excess skin and fat around the eyes, significantly enhancing their appearance and making them look more youthful and rested. Whether you're seeking cosmetic improvement or functional enhancement, an eyelid lift can rejuvenate your overall look and boost your confidence, offering a fresh, revitalized appearance.
What Is an Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)?
Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid lift surgery involves the precise removal or repositioning of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The procedure consists of making exact incisions along the natural folds of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring. This procedure is often sought by individuals dealing with sagging or droopy eyelids, bags under the eyes, or puffiness that can make them appear older or perpetually tired. Beyond cosmetic benefits, blepharoplasty can significantly improve vision that may be obstructed by drooping eyelids, making it a dual-purpose procedure that enhances both appearance and functionality.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?
Ideal candidates for an eyelid lift in Miami often have excess skin and possibly fat herniation in their upper, lower, or both eyelids. Ideal candidates for a brow lift often have some degree of brow ptosis (descent) which can cause a tired or sad look. Various options exist for improving the eye area, blepharoplasty, brow pexy, lateral brow lift, coronal brow lift, etc. depending on various factors of each particular patient. Let Dr. Salas at Salas Plastic Surgery Miami evaluate you to help find the best options for your desired outcomes.
THE PROCEDURE
During the blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery), Dr. Salas applies his surgical skill, obtained through years of training and his artistic vision to remove the excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, as necessary, in order to create a more refreshed look.
The brow lift uses incisions, (usually placed in the hair), to lift and reorient the skin to improve the brow position, thereby achieving a more refreshed look.
The best way to know if you are a good candidate is to come in for your private consultation to talk about your goals and expectations. Here at Salas Plastic Surgery Miami, it’s all about the details. We are sensitive to the fact that everyone has a unique situation, face, and body, and will tailor your treatment to help you achieve your goals.

How Does an Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Work?
The eyelid lift can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s specific needs and aesthetic goals. The surgeon carefully makes incisions within the eyelids' natural creases, ensuring that any resulting scars are hidden. The surgeon removes or repositions excess skin and fat through these incisions, and the remaining skin is then tightened for a smoother, more youthful look. The incisions are closed with fine sutures, contributing to the natural appearance of the results. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, and the recovery time can vary among patients based on the extent of the procedure and individual healing rates. Most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few weeks, enjoying a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that looks completely natural.
