Blepharoplasty is a procedure that can help improve the appearance of your eyelids by removing excess skin from the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Maida Parkins, is highly experienced in this cosmetic surgery, sometimes referred to as eyelid surgery. Milwaukee and Madison-area patients choose her at Parkins Plastic Surgery so they can enjoy a more youthful and naturally rested appearance.
Estimates Vary Based on Consultation
If you have excess skin under your eyes it can be removed with a simple surgery.
The volume loss that occurs with aging can lead to hollowing around the eye, creating a sunken appearance.
A youthful face is full and lacks harsh transitions between the eyes and cheeks. Dr. Parkins is careful to remove excess skin when necessary during blepharoplasty surgery, but believes it is equally as important to restore volume to areas of the face that have lost it. This allows for the restoration of youthful contour to your face.

One of the main reasons people undergo eyelid surgery is because they have excess skin on their eyelids, which can make the eyes look tired, droopy, or hooded. If you have excess skin that is affecting your vision and making you look older than you feel, you may be a good candidate for a blepharoplasty.
As with any surgical procedure, it’s important to be in good general health to minimize the risk of complications after blepharoplasty. If you have a chronic health condition, such as poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure, you may not be a good candidate for blepharoplasty surgery. Dr. Parkins will evaluate your health history and current health status to determine whether you are a good candidate for eyelid surgery.
It is important to have realistic expectations about the results of eyelid surgery. While the procedure can improve the appearance of the eyes and create a more youthful and rested appearance, blepharoplasty won’t completely change the overall appearance of your face. Dr. Parkins and her team will help you set realistic expectations for the results of the upper lid blepharoplasty procedure.
If you have under-eye bags or puffy lower eyelids that do not improve with lifestyle changes—such as getting enough sleep or reducing salt intake—you may be a good candidate for lower eyelid surgery. The blepharoplasty procedure can tighten the skin in the lower eyelids, smoothing out the area and creating a more youthful appearance.
If you have pre-existing eye conditions, such as dry eyes, glaucoma, or a history of a detached retina, you may not be a good candidate for a blepharoplasty.

We recommend that patients plan to take a week away from work and strenuous activity to give themselves plenty of time to rest and heal after blepharoplasty surgery. For some patients, it may be necessary to take up to two weeks off from work to ensure proper recovery. After this time, most bruising and swelling will have dissipated, and blepharoplasty patients feel more confident going out in public. Since the eye area is sensitive, patients may notice that swelling persists longer than what they may have experienced with procedures performed elsewhere on the body.
Understanding what to expect during your blepharoplasty recovery makes the entire process a much more positive experience. Please be sure to bring all questions regarding healing and recovery to your blepharoplasty consultation with Dr. Parkins.
During your blepharoplasty consultation with Dr. Parkins, she may suggest certain procedures to complement your eyelid surgery after examining you. Procedures that are commonly combined with eyelid surgery include a brow lift to treat descent of the lateral eyebrow, facial fat grafting to restore volume lost with aging, and skin resurfacing (laser or chemical peel) to treat the texture of the skin surrounding your eyes.
