Blepharoplasty
Drooping upper eyelids and puffy, baggy lower eyelids can impede your vision and give you a sleepy, aged appearance.
A blepharoplasty is a procedure that can improve sight by lifting drooping eyelids, as well as give you a more youthful look.

What Causes Eyelids to Sag and Puff Up?
- Our eyelids tend to stretch as we get older, causing our eyelid muscles to lose strength.
- This can lead to excess skin and accumulated fat deposits in our upper eyelids, as well as our lower eyelids.
- The results are upper eyelids that droop down over our eyes and baggy, enlarged lower eyelids.
- This can cause eye irritation and obscure your upper, lower, and side (peripheral) vision.
- This can also leave you looking exhausted and prematurely aged.
Four Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
Improves Vision...
...by removing visual obstructions caused by sagging upper eyelids or puffy lower eyelids. The procedure gives you a clean line of sight, improving your quality of life.
Refreshes Facial Appearance...
...by creating a more alert, youthful appearance, which can boost your self-esteem in social and professional situations.
Enhances Eye Health...
...by raising drooping lower lids, protecting your eyes from dust and irritants that may collect in the creases.
Refine the Look of Your Eyes...
...by tightening sagging lower eyelids that may reveal too much of the whites of your eyes.

What About Insurance Coverage and Financing?
- Because blepharoplasty is considered a plastic surgery procedure, it may not be covered by insurance if done for strictly cosmetic reasons.
- However, if drooping, puffy eyelids are impeding your vision, insurance may cover your eyelid surgery as a medical necessity. The knowledgeable staff at our patient-friendly Garnerville, New York, office will do everything they can to get you maximum coverage if this is the case.
- Should out-of-pocket costs occur, we happily accept financing through CareCredit®, a trusted third-party lender that offers low-interest monthly payment plans.
