When the upper eyelids begin to droop due to aging, many problems can arise. These problems can range from an aesthetically displeasing look to actual obstruction of vision. If droopy eyelids make you look sad or tired all the time or hinder your ability to see, it’s time to consider eyelid rejuvenation.
The Upper Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Upper eyelid surgery can be performed using intravenous sedation and is relatively straightforward; typically, it takes about 45 minutes to complete. Dr. Parker will make a small incision in the crease of the eyelid, removing any excess, herniated fat. The sagging skin of your upper eyelid is also removed and the incision is carefully closed.
Because a man’s eyelids are naturally “heavier” than a woman’s, Dr. Parker is careful to retain a naturally masculine appearance to the eyelids, removing only the necessary skin & fat to correct your concerns.

Upper Eyelid Surgery Recovery
There is usually very little postoperative pain after eyelid surgery, and you’ll be discharged within an hour or so of the procedure. The eyes do not need to be bandaged, and sutures are removed within five to six days. Swelling and discoloration typically subside within 10 to 14 days, with most patients returning to normal activities at that time.
The result of an upper eyelid lift is a dramatically fresh appearance to the eyes. Often, patients who have blepharoplasty are surprised by how many compliments they receive about their new looks. Since the surgery leaves virtually no scarring, friends and family will notice the dramatic change, but won’t know why you look so vibrant.
Financing Surgery Makes Dreams Come True

As we grow older, the lower lids can become puffy and baggy. The skin stretches and starts to hang loosely, and muscles weaken. Fat can herniate and accumulate below the eyelids, resulting an a tired, aged appearance that belies how healthy and energetic we really feel. Lower eyelid rejuvenation can smooth this sagging skin & fat to restore a more vibrant appearance.
The Lower Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Lower eyelid surgery is usually an outpatient procedure done with intravenous sedation to keep you comfortable. Surgery takes about 45 to 90 minutes to perform, depending on the exact surgical technique needed to achieve your desired results. Through tiny incisions made just underneath the eyelashes, Dr. Parker will remove or reposition excess fat and remove excess skin to smooth and firm the skin in the area. The incision is closed with tiny sutures. Dr. Parker will apply ointment to lubricate your eyes and may apply a bandage in certain cases.

For a couple of weeks you may have excessive tearing, some blurry vision, and sensitivity to light, and you will want to keep your head elevated for the first few days.

Your Blepharoplasty Consultation & Imaging Session
Consultations at the Parker Center are special. Dr. Parker will spend extra time with you, ensuring that he understands your goals and that you are fully educated about each potential solution. Additionally, our imaging expert will help you see the possibilities with digital photo imaging to show you what you will look like after surgery. Patients who are comparing providers often tell us our consults are the most thorough and informative they’ve ever experienced!
One to two weeks before your scheduled blepharoplasty, you will undergo a one-hour, in-office, face-to-face education session with one of Dr. Parker’s Nurse Educators. During this session, the nurse educator thoroughly reviews a detailed information packet to further educate you about your eyelid surgery. This includes a discussion of what to do to prepare for surgery, what occurs on the day of surgery, and what to expect after surgery during your recovery. It’s a detailed session that really educates our patients about the entire surgical process at the Parker Center. Patients tell us they love it because they feel so well-prepared for their surgery. Learn more about what to expect during your pre-op education session.
