Eyelid Lift Plastic Surgery Procedures - Nashville, Tennessee

By the time you reach your mid to late thirties, your eyes begin to show signs of aging. The upper eyelids droop a bit, hindering your vision, and there is tired-looking puffiness under our eyes that no cucumber slice can take care of.

If you are bothered by this inescapable sign of aging, consider turning to board certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. DeLozier and Nashville plastic surgeon Dr. Robbins for an eyelid lift. Blepharoplasty cosmetic surgery tightens the muscles around your eyelids and removes the excess fat tissue. Your eyes will be opened, making you look more alert, youthful and rejuvenated.

Your Individual Goals

Your goals will be discussed realistically with Nashville eyelid lift plastic surgeon Dr. DeLozier or Dr. Robbins. Blepharoplasty is often performed in conjunction with other facial surgeries. Together you will decide which procedures he will perform in order to achieve your desired results.

About Eyelid Lift Cosmetic Surgery in Nashville

For your comfort and safety, your eyelid lift cosmetic surgery will be performed under anesthesia. At DeLozier Robbins Plastic Surgery in Nashville, our surgeons usually complete both upper and lower eyelift surgery in 1 to 1 1/2 hours. For the upper eyelid, your Nashville blepharoplasty plastic surgeon makes incisions following the natural lines of your eyelids. Your surgeon will generally conceal the incision within the natural fold of your upper eyelid. He then removes any excess skin and fatty tissue.

For the lower eyelid, our Nashville eyelid lift plastic surgeons often conceal an incision below your lower lashes. Through this incision, he removes any excess skin, muscle and fat. In some cases, your surgeon may redistribute this fat to eliminate puffiness or bulges around your eyes.
