Who is a good candidate for eyelid surgery?

Men and women with excess upper eyelid skin, puffiness or drooping brows are upper eyelid blepharoplasty candidates with or without a simultaneous brow lift. Individuals seeking double eyelid surgery are also candidates.

Those with hollowing, dark circles, puffiness or folds of excess skin on the lower eyelids are lower eyelid blepharoplasty candidates. Eyelid muscle tone, eyelid position relative to the pupil, and integrity of the native eyelid tendons determine the appropriate candidate. Additionally, those with a very hollowed appearance or eyes that project forward beyond their cheek may be best served with volume replacement through fat grafting techniques.
