Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery is done for too much skin or bulging fat in the area of the upper eyelids. An incision is made in the natural crease in the upper eyelid. Extra skin and fat are removed through this incision. This upper blepharoplasty incision heals to become a very well hidden scar.

Ptosis Repair

This procedure is done for eyelids that are drooping too low over your pupil. Normally, the eyelid is kept in the right position by the muscle that raises your eyelid called the “levator.” This muscle is connected to the hard structure in your eyelid near the eyelashes called the “tarsus.” A drooping eyelid is usually caused by the stretching, thinning, and sometimes breakage of this connection. A ptosis repair uses the same incision as the blepharoplasty to restore the levator’s proper connection to the tarsus.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids for a smoother contour. Depending on what you need, an incision may be made inside your eyelid and/or outside the eyelid in a natural skin crease. Sometimes fat needs to be removed. Other times it needs to be repositioned.

And sometimes, the eyelid itself needs to be tightened. If you live in Las Vegas, Dr. Mason will can discuss your particular surgical plan with you and determine which form of eyelid surgery is best for your circumstances.
