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.
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and is done in our AAAHC Certified procedure room in the office with light oral sedation.
The Procedure takes 1-2 hours based on the extent of the services needed to get you the outcome you are looking for.
Sutures are typically removed within a week.
Patients can expect swelling and redness post-treatment, patients typically have social downtime for 7-10 days.
Eyelid Surgical Procedures (such as Blepharoplasty) provide long-lasting results, with most patients enjoying a more youthful eye appearance for 10+ years.
Patients should expect to keep a healthy lifestyle and continue medical grade skin care to maintain the results from eyelid surgical procedures.
Laser eyelid surgery is highly precise and minimally invasive, making it ideal for patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation.
Patients should be in good health and have no underlying medical conditions that would increase surgical risk.
Patients should be educated on realistic expectations they can expect as the end results of the surgical procedure.
Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days, and makeup can be applied after a week to conceal any residual redness.
Patients should expect to visit the office as often as every other day or minimally one week after eyelid surgery to ensure proper healing.

"Dr. Hughes and her staff are innovative, talented, and amazing! They took a detailed assessment during my initial consultation and offered options I didn’t know existed to help with my thinning hair, sparse brows, and loss of volume in my face. Dr. Hughes also performed a miracle-she almost completely removed a 'dip' in my nose that I was self conscious about since high school ... I cried when I saw how much better it looked. I highly recommend this practice!"
"I recently underwent lower lid blepharoplasty at the Hughes Center, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care I received...Whenever I felt unsure or frustrated, they were there to offer support and answer all my questions.
