Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Surgery

Brighten and Refresh Your Eyes with Blepharoplasty

Rejuvenate tired or sagging eyelids for a more awake, youthful appearance

Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes loses elasticity, and fat can shift or accumulate, leading to drooping upper lids, under-eye bags, and a tired expression. For some, excess upper eyelid skin can even impair vision.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly effective procedure that addresses these concerns by removing or repositioning fat and tightening skin around the eyes. At Allure Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Percy Lo performs both upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures to help you look more rested, alert, and refreshed—while preserving your natural expression.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

A targeted surgical solution for eyelid aging and obstruction

Blepharoplasty refers to surgical correction of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Dr. Lo evaluates your anatomy, aging patterns, and goals to determine the most appropriate surgical plan for you.

Upper Blepharoplasty

  • Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids

  • Corrects ptosis (drooping upper eyelid) that may impair vision

  • May include muscle repair if the levator muscle has weakened or detached

  • Improves eye openness and eliminates hooding

Lower Blepharoplasty

  • Addresses undereye bags, puffiness, or sagging

  • Removes or repositions fat for a smoother under-eye area

  • May include canthopexy or canthoplasty to support the eyelid and prevent future sagging

  • Restores a firmer, more youthful contour beneath the eyes

Blepharoplasty can be both cosmetic and functional, offering aesthetic improvement and enhanced visual field in one procedure.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Determine if eyelid surgery is the right fit for your needs

You may be a strong candidate for blepharoplasty if you:

  • Feel that you look tired or older due to heavy eyelids or eye bags

  • Have loose, sagging skin that affects vision or comfort

  • Are in good general health and a non-smoker

  • Do not have serious eye conditions or uncontrolled chronic illness

  • Have realistic expectations about improvement and scarring

During your consultation, Dr. Lo will perform a detailed eyelid evaluation, assess your overall facial balance, and explain the best surgical approach for you.

What to Expect from Surgery and Recovery

Safe, personalized care with a detailed recovery plan

Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on the techniques used and whether procedures are combined. Incisions are placed carefully around the hairline and ears for minimal visible scarring.

After your facelift:

  • Expect swelling, bruising, and mild tightness in the first 1–2 weeks

  • Sutures are removed during follow-up appointments

  • Most patients return to light activities in 10–14 days

  • Strenuous activity and sun exposure should be avoided for several weeks

  • Final results become apparent in 6–12 weeks, with continued softening over time

Dr. Lo provides step-by-step guidance through the healing process to ensure a smooth, confident recovery.

A Natural, Rested Look That Lasts

Restore youthful definition—without losing your expression

A well-performed facelift shouldn’t change who you are—it should restore the best version of you. With Dr. Lo’s skill and attention to detail, your results will appear refreshed, lifted, and completely natural.

If you’ve noticed that your outward appearance no longer reflects your inner energy, a facelift may be the most effective way to reclaim your facial definition and confidence.
