Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) & Brow Lift Surgery
East Lansing | Birmingham, MI
Blepharoplasty – also called eyelid lift surgery – is performed to reduce wrinkling, sagging or drooping eyelid skin. This is a very safe and common plastic surgery procedure that can take years off a man or woman’s appearance – as well as improve vision. It may involve removing excess skin, tightening sagging skin, or removing fat that cause “bags” under the eyes.
A brow lift – also called forehead lift surgery – is a different procedure that makes one look younger by surgically raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow. Brow lift surgery can rejuvenate a low, heavy, sagging, wrinkled or asymmetrical forehead.
Recent innovations in eye lid and brow plastic surgery techniques also enable our plastic surgeons to preserve and redistribute the fat that is around the eyes – rather than just surgically removing it – to augment “hollow” looking eyes.
Eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty) and/or a brow lift (forehead lift) can be done alone, or at the same time as each other. They can also be combined with other facial procedures, such as a face-lift or neck lift surgery. Our skilled plastic surgeons will assess each patient’s needs and aesthetic goals, and recommend the right procedure or combination of procedures to help them look younger and more attractive.

Eyelid Lift Surgery
Blepharoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower lids or both. In addition to improving one’s appearance, blepharoplasty can correct or remove vision obstructions caused by sagging eyelid skin that block vision.
The incisions for eyelid surgery are placed so that any scars will be well concealed within the natural structures of the eyelid. In upper eyelid surgery the incision is placed within the natural crease of the eyelid. During lower eyelid surgery, the incision is typically placed just below the lower lash line. Through these very fine incisions, excess skin in the upper or lower eyelid is removed, muscles are tightened and excess fat (“bags”) can be repositioned or removed. Eyelid incisions are either closed with sutures (tiny stiches) or a special skin glue.
While there is generally very little pain after the surgery, recovery includes swelling or bruising (“black eyes”). Most patients, however, are presentable to go out in public in 10-14 days. However, it may take a few months before complete healing is realized.
Eyebrow Lift Surgery
Brow lift surgery, also called a forehead lift, reduces wrinkles and frown lines, and raises the eyebrows back to a higher and more youthful position.
Minimally-invasive brow lift surgery can be performed “endoscopically” by inserting a thin tube with a camera on the end, using tiny placed through very small incisions made within the hairline. The surgeon can adjust the tissue and muscle beneath the skin – correcting visible creases and furrows in the forehead – with very minimal scarring.
In other cases a brow lift is performed using a “coronal incision” – created from ear to ear across the top of the head in the hair on top of the head. Forehead skin is then lifted and pulled taught and muscle adjustments can be made. Although the scar is larger it is well concealed within the hair.
Depending on the surgical technique needed, the patient is given either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Recovery may take a week to 14 days.
