Refresh and rejuvenate your eyes with subtle precision. Dr. Philipp Franck performs blepharoplasty to restore a brighter, more rested appearance while maintaining your natural expression. His approach enhances your eyes’ contours so you look renewed, not different.
What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Blepharoplasty is a specialized eyelid surgery that aims to correct sagging or droopy eyelids by removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat. This rejuvenates the eye area, giving you a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Eyelid surgery is one of the most commonly performed facial plastic procedures.
How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Upper blepharoplasty is usually done with local anesthesia and sedation, while lower blepharoplasty typically requires general anesthesia due to its complexity. Dr. Franck carefully marks, incises, and adjusts skin, fat, and muscle to refresh the eyelids, then closes with fine sutures for minimal scarring and quick recovery.
