Eyelid lifts give a rejuvenated appearance to the skin surrounding your eyes, making you look more rested and alert. Wrinkles, deep lines, and puffiness around the eyes from age, sun exposure, and hereditary factors can create a tired or aged appearance. Cosmetic eyelid surgery can remove the excess fat and drooping skin of the upper eyelids, minimize the fullness under the eyes, and tighten the lower eyelids. Excessive upper-eyelid skin that interferes with your vision can result in a medically necessary eyelid lift that may be covered by your insurance.
