Upper Eyelid Surgery: Restore Your Field of Vision
Severely drooping upper lids can obstruct peripheral vision, making daily activities like driving or reading more difficult. Upper blepharoplasty addresses the excess skin and tissue on the upper eyelids. The result is a more open, alert appearance and, for many patients, significantly improved vision.

Lower Eyelid Surgery: Address Under-eye Bags & Puffiness
Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin below the eyes. This procedure can dramatically reduce the tired, aged appearance that persistent under-eye bags create, helping patients look as refreshed as they feel.

Brow Lift Surgery
Sometimes what appears to be excess upper eyelid skin is actually caused by a drooping brow. When your eyebrows descend with age, they can push skin down onto your upper eyelids, creating the appearance of hooding. Eyebrow surgeries raise the eyebrows to achieve a variety of aesthetic benefits, including lifting sagging skin, smoothing lines, and making the brows appear more symmetrical.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty & Eyelid Surgery
Improved Vision
For patients with functional concerns, upper blepharoplasty can restore peripheral vision obstructed by drooping eyelids.
Refreshed Appearance
Both upper and lower blepharoplasty create a more alert, well-rested look without appearing “overdone.”
Long-lasting Results
Eyelid surgery provides results that typically last 7-10 years or longer, making it an excellent investment in your appearance and quality of life.
Natural-looking Outcomes
Our oculoplastic surgeons specialize in subtle enhancements that preserve your unique features while addressing your concerns.
Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Blepharoplasty may be right for you if you:
- Have drooping upper eyelids affecting your vision or appearance
- Experience persistent under-eye bags or puffiness
Are in good overall health - Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
- Are bothered by a tired appearance that doesn’t reflect how you feel
- Have tried non-surgical options without satisfactory results
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your eyelid anatomy, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine whether blepharoplasty is the appropriate solution for you.
Blepharoplasty vs. Non-surgical Alternatives
While blepharoplasty provides the most dramatic and long-lasting results for eyelid concerns, some Gig Harbor patients may benefit from non-surgical options.
Botox: Can address crow’s feet and mild hooding, but cannot remove excess skin
Dermal Fillers: May temporarily improve under-eye hollows, but won’t address true under-eye bags
Laser Resurfacing: Can tighten mild skin laxity, but won’t correct significant excess tissue
During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether surgical or non-surgical approaches best align with your goals and anatomy.
