What is Eyelift Surgery & Blepharoplasty?
An eyelift, also known as a blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can address saggy, wrinkled eyelid skin and/or under-eye bags. While the triggers for these aging concerns are rooted in sun damage and the natural aging process, a hereditary predisposition is not uncommon. Blepharoplasty can make dramatic improvements to tired-looking eyes for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

What To Expect
Consultation & Planning – “We assess your eyes, health, goals, and craft a custom surgical plan.”
The Procedure – Incisions are precisely placed in the crease of the upper lid, along the lower lash line, or hidden inside the lower lid. From these discreet points, muscle, fat, and skin are repositioned and redraped to restore a firm, rested look — with results that can last for years.
Recovery & Results – Recovery & Results — Right after surgery, ice packs reduce swelling and bruising. Eyes may tear more than usual initially but normalize as healing progresses. Light activities like walking, reading, or watching TV are usually fine within 2–3 days. Stitches are removed after one week, and strenuous activities should be avoided for about three weeks.
Dr. de Kleer will guide you on how to care for your incisions to support smooth healing. Most patients feel and look normal by the two-week mark. Over the following months, any mild scarring fades — revealing refreshed, natural-looking eyes.
