Eyelid Surgery – Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery rejuvenates the eyes by removing excess fat, tightening the skin, and reducing wrinkles for a refreshed, youthful appearance.

What is Eyelid Surgery – Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid Surgery at The Hughes Center, performed by Oculoplastic Surgeon, Susan M. Hughes MD, FACS offers a customized surgical approach on improving the appearance of the upper and lower eyelid area.

Having over 42 years of experience The Hughes Center offers multiple surgical procedures to address the complex concerns our patients have about enhancing their eyes. Surgical Options include Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, Canthoplasty, Ptosis surgery, Lower lid Fat transfer, Skin Pinch, and CO2 laser resurfacing to the upper and lower eyelid skin.

Over time, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity, leading to puffiness, wrinkles, sagging, drooping, and discoloration of the eyelids and eyelid skin.

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty is surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, improving their appearance and function.

Lower Lid Conjunctival Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the lower eyelids through an incision made on the inner surface of the eyelids (conjunctiva).

Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens and modifies the shape and position of the outer corners of the lower eyelids (canthi). It is typically performed to address drooping or loose lower eyelids and to improve aesthetics.

CO2 Laser to the upper and lower eyelid skin is a surgical procedure to tighten the wrinkles of the upper and lower eyelids. It thickens the skin to help reduce transparency of the lower lid skin. CO2 laser reduces the appearance of dark circles and smooths any loose skin in the upper and lower eyelid area, as well as crow’s feet.

Lower Lid Fat Transfer is a surgical procedure that involves harvesting fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the under-eye area to restore volume and address hollows.

At The Hughes Center in Cherry Hill, NJ, our laser eyelid surgery is customized to each patient’s needs, and is often paired with fat transfer, fillers or Botox for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
