The most delicate of our skin is on our face, particularly around our eyes. As such, it is often the first area of our bodies to begin to show signs of aging. If you are unhappy with the appearance of the skin around your eyes, eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, may be the best option for you. At Southeastern Plastic Surgery, eyelid surgery patients from communities surrounding Tallahassee, including Destin, FL; Dothan, AL; and Valdosta and Thomasville, GA, entrust their eyes to our expert plastic surgeons.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Eyelid surgery, also known as a blepharoplasty, is performed to rejuvenate the upper and/or lower eyelids. For many people, one of the first areas of the face that those common, unwanted signs of aging start to set in is in the delicate skin around the eyes. The thin skin of the upper and lower eyelids can be more prone to lines, creases, wrinkles, sagging and puffiness. An eyelid lift procedure can create a more youthful and awake appearance.
Often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®, brow lift or even facelift surgery. Eyelid surgery is incredibly successful in creating a younger, more alert appearance in patients. During your consultation, Dr. Ben Kirbo, Dr. Laurence Rosenberg or Dr. Chris DeRosier will assess your facial rejuvenation options and determine if eyelid surgery is the best bet for you.
We offer a nonsurgical alternative to eyelid surgery, UPNEEQ®, at the SPA for people who are not ready for surgery. These prescription eye drops temporarily lift and tighten the upper eyelids.
Our skilled physicans understand the profound difference even a small change on the outside can make on the inside. They are dedicated to providing high-quality care in a supportive, compassionate setting.
Blepharoplasty is a procedure used to correct drooping upper eyelids and eliminate puffiness of the lower eyelids. The technique brightens the eyes, leaving a more youthful and rested appearance. Candidates for eyelid surgery often have the following signs of aging:
After eyelid surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses. Some people also experience blurry vision, light sensitivity, and a feeling of tightness around the eyes.
While each patient’s experience varies somewhat, you can expect to recover along the following timeline:

Dr. Kirbo performed an upper eye lift on me nearly 1 year ago. I could not believe the difference in my appearance. I ran into someone I had not seen in years and asked if he remembered me; his reply was, “I remember those eyes”. I had just had the surgery 2 months prior; made my day. Dr. Kirbo was very professional and did a phenomenal job on my surgery. I would get this procedure again as it was not painful and well worth every penny spent.
My puffy eyelids and wrinkles made me feel old and out of shape every time I looked in the mirror. After my eyelid surgery, I look as young as I feel.
Dr. Rosenberg and Staff,
I want to thank you for my excellent care before, during and after my lower eyelid surgery. Thank you too for the beautiful flower arrangement; what a pleasant surprise! Everyone has been so kind and I certainly appreciate it when I look in the mirror, even though I still see some swelling, it is so nice not to see bags!”
