Led by board-certified surgeons Dr. Clifford Clark, Dr. Ellen Ezell, and board eligible surgeon Dr. Bahar Abbassi, our team provides care grounded in experience, safety, and refined aesthetic vision.

Eyelid Surgery Overview

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, tightening the tissue, and redistributing or removing fat for a smoother, more rested appearance. This outpatient procedure refreshes the eyes without changing their natural shape. Eyelid surgery may address:

  • Sagging upper lids that obscure the natural crease or impair vision
  • Puffiness or fat pockets above the eyes
  • Under-eye bags or dark hollows
  • Fine lines and wrinkling around the eyes
  • Asymmetry or heaviness in the upper or lower lids

Through careful, tailored adjustments, the eyes regain openness and vitality—restoring light to one of the face’s most expressive features.

I feel the look is so natural and refreshed

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Clark and his entire team. Every step was explained in detail and executed without a problem. The aftercare has been phenomenal. I’m now 15 weeks post-surgery and over the moon with my results. I feel the look is so natural and refreshed, exactly what I’d hoped it would be.

Eyelid Surgery Before & After

Where Surgical Precision Meets Artistry in Every Detail

The Art of Surgical Subtlety

Our accredited surgery center is staffed by a trusted network of nurses, anesthetists, and estheticians dedicated to creating a smooth, comforting experience. You’ll feel supported through every step—before, during, and after your procedure.

Results That Feel Effortlessly Natural

A hallmark of our approach is restraint. The goal isn’t to erase—but to refine. You’ll look awake, well-rested, and authentically yourself, with eyes that express energy and ease.

  • Tailored procedures for upper, lower, or combined eyelids
  • Advanced techniques for minimal scarring
  • Personalized recovery plans for optimal healing

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

  • More youthful and alert appearance
  • Reduction in sagging, drooping, or puffiness
  • Improved vision (in cases of excess upper-lid skin)
  • Smooth, defined eyelid contours
  • Lasting improvement in facial balance and expression

Is Eyelid Surgery Right for You?

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty in Orlando are individuals who feel their eyes look tired, aged, or heavy despite adequate rest. Candidates should be in good health, non-smokers, and free from medical conditions that impair healing. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your anatomy and goals to design a treatment plan that enhances your features while maintaining your natural expression.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is administered for comfort.
  2. Incisions are made along natural creases (upper eyelids) or just below the lash line (lower eyelids).
  3. Fat deposits are adjusted or removed, and excess skin is carefully trimmed.
  4. Muscles and tissues are gently tightened to smooth the eyelid contour.
  5. Incisions are closed with fine sutures for discreet, minimal scarring.

Recovery and Results Timeline

Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for about a week. Stitches are removed within 5–7 days, and makeup or light activities can usually resume shortly after. Within two weeks, the eyes appear refreshed, and final results emerge within two to three months as tissue settles into its new contour.

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Lifts drooping lids and restores a visible crease.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags.

Combined Blepharoplasty

Treats both lids for full rejuvenation.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

Internal approach for subtle lower-lid adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do eyelid surgery results last?

Results typically last 10–15 years, depending on age, genetics, and lifestyle habits.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are placed in natural creases or lash lines and typically fade to near invisibility.

Is eyelid surgery painful?

Discomfort is minimal and managed with medication; most patients describe mild tightness rather than pain.

Can eyelid surgery improve vision?

Yes, if sagging skin obstructs your line of sight, removing excess tissue can enhance peripheral vision.
