Eyelid rejuvenation (blepharoplasty)

It is said the eyes are the window to the soul, which is why your eyes reveal so much about you. Unfortunately, they are also one of the first areas to age, which is why many women and men consider eyelid surgery to improve droopy upper eyelids and puffy bags below the eyes.

Eyelid surgery from a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon removes the excess skin and fat from your upper or lower eyelids to help you look as youthful and rested as you feel. It can also be combined with the latest techniques such as a facelift or browlift, as well as laser resurfacing, peels or wrinkle treatment injections, to improve lines in the lower lid area. As a Sydney cosmetic plastic surgeon with years of experience in eyelid surgery, Dr Edinburg will ensure you experience the highest level of comfort and confidence.
