Unpack those baggy eyelids

An eyelid lift, called blepharoplasty, can dramatically improve a tired or upset appearance by removing the excess skin and tissue that cause droopy, baggy eyelids. It is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures performed in the United States, and the photos above represent the beautiful results that may be achieved.

As oculoplastic surgeons, the TOC physicians specialize in repairing and improving the appearance of the eyelids. They perform most of the procedures in TOC’s ambulatory surgical center, CAREOS, which is solely dedicated to laser and eyelid cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. CAREOS also houses the revolutionary CO₂ laser, used for both blepharoplasty surgery and skin resurfacing.

With the development of the CO₂ laser, blepharoplasty surgery is quicker and more gentle than ever before. Developed within this decade, the CO₂ laser provides the physician extremely precise control and generally causes less bleeding and bruising than with conventional means. For most patients, the recovery time is brief and bruising is minimal. Although sometimes preferred, laser surgery is not always appropriate. The TOC physician evaluates each case to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment method.
