Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery can improve a heavy or tired appearance and, in some cases, enhance the visual field when excess skin droops over the eyelashes. Dr. Sloan removes precisely measured amounts of excess skin and repositions underlying tissue to create a refreshed, natural appearance. Incisions are hidden within the natural eyelid crease, resulting in virtually invisible scars.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery smooths under-eye bags and reduces hollowing or puffiness for a more rested look. Dr. Sloan uses scarless transconjunctival incisions when possible, meaning the incision is made inside the lower eyelid with no visible external scar. Fat can be repositioned or removed, and volume can be restored with facial fat transfer for comprehensive lower eyelid rejuvenation.

Male Blepharoplasty

Men frequently develop excess upper eyelid skin that can affect both appearance and vision. Dr. Sloan has extensive experience with male blepharoplasty, delivering dramatic functional improvement while maintaining a natural, masculine appearance. Results showcase improvement in both vision and aesthetic outcomes.

Combined Procedures

Blepharoplasty is often combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation. Common combinations include brow lift (to address forehead and brow descent), facial fat transfer (to restore youthful volume), and CO2 laser skin resurfacing (to improve skin texture around the eyes). Dr. Sloan will discuss which combination best addresses your goals.

Your Consultation

The goal is not to change how you look, but to restore brightness and youthfulness while preserving natural eyelid shape and expression. During your consultation, Dr. Sloan will evaluate your eyelid anatomy, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized surgical plan.
