Although sagging eyebrows, drooping upper lids and under eye pouches are a natural part of the aging face, these features can make an energetic person appear continually tired. The eyes, and the structures around them, contribute a great deal to the expression in our faces. With the passage of time, the eyelid skin stretches, fat bulges, and muscles weaken regardless of the condition of the rest of our bodies. 

Today, new techniques and advances in eyelid surgery and forehead lifts offer a fresher, more alert look and quick recovery. Usually upper and lower eyelid surgery is done at the same time under sedation. There is no need to be completely asleep for this type of surgery. 

The surgery takes about two hours to perform. Patients return the following day for their post-operative evaluation. Stitches are removed within five days. After surgery patients are taken to the recovery room and monitored. There is minimal discomfort in the post-operative period. Following recovery patients are taken home by a friend or relative and return to the office the next day.
