Refresh Your Look and Vision: Understanding Eyelid Surgery
When it comes to achieving a refreshed appearance and clearer vision, eyelid surgery offers a transformative solution. At Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, our oculoplastic specialists provide expert care and advanced surgical options for those looking to improve both the aesthetics and function of their eyelids.
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, or fat around the eyes. Over time, aging, genetics, and environmental factors can cause the eyelids to droop or become puffy, affecting your appearance—and in some cases, your vision.
At Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, eyelid surgery isn’t just cosmetic; it’s often medically necessary to restore visual fields impaired by sagging upper lids or address chronic eye irritation caused by abnormal eyelid positioning.
Types of Eyelid Surgery Offered
Our board-certified oculoplastic surgeons offer several types of procedures tailored to your needs:
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Removes excess tissue that hangs over the upper eyelids, which can improve both appearance and vision.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Focuses on correcting under-eye bags and puffiness, providing a more youthful look.
- Ptosis Repair: Treats drooping upper eyelids caused by weakened eyelid muscles.
- Ectropion/Entropion Repair: Corrects eyelids that turn outward or inward, which can lead to irritation and damage to the eye surface.
Each procedure is performed with precision to ensure optimal function and natural results.
Why Choose an Oculoplastic Surgeon?
Eyelid surgery is delicate and should only be performed by a specialist trained in both ophthalmology and plastic surgery of the eyelids and surrounding areas. At Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, our oculoplastic surgeons have advanced training and experience, ensuring you receive care that prioritizes both form and function.
We don’t just enhance your appearance—we preserve and improve your vision.
What to Expect During the Process
The process starts with a comprehensive consultation, where your doctor evaluates your eyelid anatomy, discusses your goals, and reviews your medical history. If the procedure is deemed medically necessary, insurance may cover it. If cosmetic, we’ll explain your options and expected results.
Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and take about 45 minutes to 2 hours. Recovery is typically mild, with most patients returning to regular activities within 7–10 days.
Is Eyelid Surgery Right for You?
You may be a candidate if you experience:
- Heavy or sagging eyelids affecting your sight
- Chronic eye fatigue or irritation
- Bags or puffiness under the eyes
- Discomfort due to abnormal eyelid position
Our team at Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun can help determine if surgery is the best solution based on a thorough evaluation.
