About Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) in St. Petersburg treats common signs of aging and fatigue around the eyes, including droopy upper lids that interfere with vision, puffy under-eye bags, loose or crepey lower eyelid skin, and uneven eyelid contours. By removing excess skin, repositioning fat, and refining the surrounding tissue, the procedure addresses these concerns directly rather than masking them. Most patients undergo the procedure under local or general anesthesia, with minimal downtime and results that look natural rather than altered.

What to Expect From Your Procedure

During your consultation, your surgeon will build a customized surgical plan and walk you through what to expect at each stage.

You'll receive local or general anesthesia
Incisions are placed in natural folds or inside the lid
Excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully adjusted
Incisions are closed in a way that minimizes visible scarring

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to their normal routines within 7 to 10 days, with swelling and bruising fading by the second week. Results emerge gradually and continue to refine over the following 4 to 6 weeks. Blepharoplasty results are long-lasting and can soften years from your appearance while keeping your signature look intact.

Types of Eyelid Surgery We Offer:

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery removes excess, hooded skin that can weigh down the eyelid and make the eyes look tired. Tightening this area opens up the eyes for a brighter, more alert appearance.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery addresses puffiness, fine wrinkles, or hollowing beneath the eyes. Smoothing this area creates a more rested, refreshed look without changing the rest of the face.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

This technique removes excess fat from the lower eyelid through an incision made inside the lid, leaving no visible scar. It's often a good fit for patients dealing with isolated fat pockets rather than excess skin.

Quad Blepharoplasty

Quad blepharoplasty combines upper and lower eyelid surgery into a single procedure for more complete rejuvenation. It's a practical option for patients who want to address both areas at once rather than staging two separate surgeries.

Complementary Procedures

Brow Lift: Opens the upper face and enhances eyelid results.
Laser Resurfacing: Refines skin tone and texture around the eyes.
Facelift: Combines well with eyelid surgery for overall rejuvenation.
Dermal Fillers: Smooths hollows and tear troughs non-surgically.

Eyelid Surgery FAQs

How long do blepharoplasty results last?

Most results last 7 to 10 years or longer.

When can I wear eye makeup again?

Typically within 10 to 14 days, once incisions have healed.

Is there a visible scar?

Incisions are hidden in natural creases and fade over time.

Can I combine this with other procedures?

Yes, brow lifts, facelifts, and laser treatments are often paired with blepharoplasty.

Does insurance cover it?

Cosmetic blepharoplasty is not typically covered, but if vision is impaired, some plans may apply. We'll discuss this during your consultation.

Will eyelid surgery get rid of dark circles?

It can soften shadowing from puffiness, but pigmentation-based dark circles usually need a separate treatment like fillers or laser resurfacing.

Is eyelid surgery painful?

Most patients feel mild discomfort rather than real pain, and it's manageable with recommended medication.
