Eyelid and Brow
Surgery Overview
Eyelid and brow surgery can significantly improve the aesthetics of the upper face by addressing concerns like excess skin, puffiness, and sagging. The most common procedures we offer include:
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids, restoring a more youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance.
- Ptosis Repair: Ptosis, or drooping eyelids, can interfere with vision and cause an older, tired appearance. Ptosis repair lifts and tightens the eyelids, improving both function and aesthetic appeal.
- Brow Lift: As we age, the brow can descend, leading to a tired or angry look. A brow lift elevates the brow to create a more youthful, balanced, and natural facial expression.
- CO2 Laser: Using advanced fractional CO2 technology, this laser targets and stimulates the skin’s deeper layers to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity while promoting collagen production.

General Anatomy of the Eyelid and Brow Area
The eyelids and brow are integral to both facial expression and vision. The eyelids protect the eyes and regulate the amount of light entering, while the brow helps communicate emotion and creates a framing effect for the eyes. Both areas are made up of delicate skin, muscle, and connective tissue, which are highly susceptible to the effects of aging and environmental factors.
- Eyelids: The upper eyelids contain a thin layer of skin and fat, while the lower eyelids are characterized by a more defined muscle structure. Both eyelids have unique roles in vision and facial expression.
- Brow: The brow consists of skin, muscle, and soft tissue, which can be affected by gravity, sun exposure, and the natural aging process.
Understanding
Periorbital Aging
The periorbital area, which encompasses the eyes, eyelids, and brows, is often the first to show signs of aging. Over time, the skin loses elasticity, the muscles weaken, and fat may shift or accumulate. This leads to:
- Excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids, causing a tired or heavy appearance.
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes due to fat accumulation or displacement.
- Drooping eyebrows that can give a perpetually sad or angry look.
- Loss of definition around the eyes, which can make you appear older than you feel.
These signs of aging can affect your confidence, appearance, and even your vision if the eyelids begin to obstruct your field of view.
Why Consider Eyelid or Brow Surgery?
Eyelid and brow surgery can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits. Many patients opt for these procedures to:
- Rejuvenate the face: Reduce the appearance of tiredness, stress, or sadness.
- Improve vision: Correct sagging eyelids that interfere with peripheral vision.
- Restore youthful proportions: Lift drooping brows and smooth wrinkles for a more alert, vibrant look.
- Enhance facial symmetry: Achieve a more balanced and refreshed appearance.
If you are concerned about the impact of aging on your eyes and brow area, eyelid or brow surgery may be the ideal solution. At Lake Nona Ophthalmology, we offer a comprehensive consultation to help you explore your options and determine the best approach to meet your goals.
