Dr. Funk performs upper and lower eyelid surgery at Funk Facial Plastic Surgery, addressing excess skin, herniated fat, and muscle laxity that contribute to a tired or aged appearance around the eyes. Upper blepharoplasty removes redundant skin along the natural eyelid crease and is among the most straightforward facial surgical procedures. Lower blepharoplasty is more technically demanding, and ptosis repair and lateral canthopexy are available as additional refinements. Upper and lower procedures can be performed together for a comprehensive periorbital result.
About this treatment
Eyelid surgery at Funk Facial Plastic Surgery encompasses the full range of periorbital procedures, from straightforward upper eyelid skin removal to complex lower lid repositioning and ptosis correction.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin that accumulates along the upper eyelid with age, which can obscure the lid crease or in advanced cases encroach on the visual field. The procedure removes redundant tissue along the natural crease, restoring a more open, alert eye appearance. Recovery is typically among the fastest of facial surgical procedures, with most patients returning to normal activities within one to two weeks.
Lower blepharoplasty is technically more demanding, targeting the fat compartments beneath the eyes that create puffiness, as well as excess skin and hollowing. The approach — whether transconjunctival (no visible incision) or subciliary — is chosen based on the individual's anatomy and the degree of skin laxity present.
