About the Blepharoplasty in Boston
The blepharoplasty, sometimes referred to as an eyelid lift, is a surgical technique designed to lift and smooth the fragile tissue around the eye. As we age, the thin skin along the upper lid can begin to sag. This wrinkled, lax tissue can age one’s appearance, make applying makeup difficult, and in extreme cases, impair the vision. At the same time, the fat pads below the eyes may begin to push their way outward, causing under eye ‘bags’.
Dr. Miller’s innovative blepharoplasty technique can improve the lax skin and puffiness of the upper and lower eyelid through a simple, outpatient procedure, without a long or difficult recovery. Each area may be treated on its own, or the upper and lower lid blepharoplasty may be combined in one procedure.
