At Benjamin Eye Institute, we believe that healthy vision and confidence in your appearance go hand in hand. Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids to improve both appearance and, in some cases, vision.
Dr. Arthur Benjamin performs blepharoplasty procedures in our fully equipped in-office surgical suite, allowing patients to receive care in a comfortable, familiar environment with a highly experienced ophthalmic team.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct drooping upper eyelids or puffiness under the eyes. Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes can lose elasticity. Fat may also shift or accumulate in the eyelids, creating a tired or aged appearance.
The procedure can address:
Because the eyes are the focal point of the face, even subtle improvements can make a significant difference in overall facial appearance.
Blepharoplasty may be a good option for individuals who:
Many patients consider this procedure in their 40s, 50s, or 60s, although it can also be beneficial for younger individuals who have hereditary eyelid puffiness.
During a consultation, Dr. Benjamin carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy and goals to determine whether blepharoplasty is the right solution.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure.
For upper eyelid surgery, a small incision is placed within the natural crease of the eyelid. Excess skin, fat, and sometimes a small amount of muscle are carefully removed or repositioned.
For lower eyelid surgery, the incision may be placed either just below the lash line or inside the eyelid, depending on the specific correction needed.
The procedure generally takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower eyelids are treated.
Because the incisions are carefully placed in natural eyelid folds, scarring is minimal and typically becomes barely noticeable over time.
Recovery from blepharoplasty is usually straightforward. Most patients experience:
Many patients feel comfortable returning to normal daily activities within 7–10 days, though full healing and final results continue to develop over several weeks.
Patients are typically advised to:
Dr. Benjamin and the team at Benjamin Eye Institute closely monitor each patient’s recovery to ensure optimal healing and results.
Blepharoplasty can provide long-lasting improvements in both appearance and function. Patients often notice that their eyes look:
Because the procedure focuses on restoring natural eyelid contours, the goal is always a subtle, natural result — not an over-corrected look.
