Upper and lower blepharoplasty at Dr. Cerrati's Park City practice removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids to restore a rested, open appearance. Upper blepharoplasty uses incisions placed within the natural eyelid crease; lower blepharoplasty corrects under-eye bags through a subciliary incision, with fat repositioning where indicated to avoid a hollow outcome. Sutures are removed at four to five days; most patients return to work within five to seven days. Variants include Asian eyelid surgery, male blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, and fat repositioning lower blepharoplasty.
