Blepharoplasty in Main Line Philadelphia, PA & Somers Point, NJ

Drooping eyelids and under-eye bags can make you appear tired, sad, or older than you are—even when you feel completely rested. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, can restore a brighter, more refreshed eye area by removing excess skin, fat, and puffiness from the upper or lower eyelids.

At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers personalized eyelid surgery for patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ. With over three decades of experience, he delivers precise, natural-looking results that enhance your appearance.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the eyes and restore a more youthful, alert expression.

Depending on your needs, eyelid surgery can:

  • Remove excess skin from the upper eyelids
  • Eliminate puffiness or “bags” under the eyes
  • Improve vision if sagging skin interferes with sight
  • Soften wrinkles and creases around the eyes
  • Create a more open, rested look

Upper and lower blepharoplasty can be performed separately or together, and may also be paired with other facial procedures such as a brow lift or facelift.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Dr. Brandow performs blepharoplasty in a certified surgical center under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the area(s) treated.

  • For upper eyelid surgery: An incision is made in the natural crease to remove or reposition skin, muscle, and fat.
  • For lower eyelid surgery: The incision is usually placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid to address puffiness or sagging.

Recovery involves:

  • Mild swelling and bruising for 7–10 days
  • Return to work and light activities within about a week
  • Results that continue to improve over several weeks

Scars are typically well-hidden in natural folds and become nearly invisible as they heal.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Blepharoplasty may be right for you if:

  • You have excess eyelid skin or under-eye puffiness
  • Your eyes look tired or aged, even when well-rested
  • Sagging eyelids interfere with your vision
  • You’re in good general health and have realistic expectations

During your consultation, Dr. Brandow will assess your anatomy and goals to determine the most appropriate surgical plan.
