Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) — Serving Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Maple Grove, Edina, and Surrounding Areas

The eyes are one of the first areas of the face to show signs of age. From drooping and uneven eyelids to bags under the eyes, signs of age around the eyes can make a person appears not only older, but perhaps even tired or angry. With the use of the latest techniques, blepharoplasty, more commonly known as eyelid surgery, is performed by our surgeon serving patients from Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Maple Grove, Edina, and surrounding areas. The procedure can help to lift the upper eyelids, making a person appear younger and more alert; correct bagginess under the eyes; and provide a more balanced appearance if a person has one eyelid that sags more than the other.

If you have considered facial rejuvenation through cosmetic eyelid surgery, our experienced blepharoplasty surgeon with offices in Maple Grove and Edina serving the entire Minneapolis / Saint Paul area can help you determine if this procedure is right for you. To speak with Dr. Christopher J. Kovanda about your eyelid surgery rejuvenation possibilities, contact Kovanda Plastic Surgery today.

The Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Procedure at our Minneapolis / Saint Paul Practice

There are two main types of blepharoplasty: Upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery. Depending on each person's unique characteristics and cosmetic desires, one of these procedures, or both, may be performed. Dr. Kovanda provides advanced laser eyelid surgery procedures. Laser blepharoplasty can be performed for both upper and lower eyelid surgery. Instead of a surgical incision using a scalpel, a CO2 laser is used to precisely make incisions while at the same time cauterizing the blood vessels at the incision site to prevent future complications.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Many people experience what is commonly known as "lazy eye," which can affect a person's overall appearance. When one eyelid sags more than the other, a person's facial features can become asymmetrical. When both sag, a person can look tire or even angry. This can occur as we age, or simply from genetics. Regardless of its cause, many people decide to address uneven or sagging eyelids with the upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) procedure. With offices in Maple Grove and Edina to serve the entire Minneapolis / Saint Paul area, Dr. Kovanda and his staff are experienced eyelid surgery providers.

Although we analyze each patient's unique circumstances to determine the proper course of action, the upper eyelid procedure typically involves the removal of excess skin and pockets of fat from the eyelids to provide a younger looking, more alert, and more symmetrical appearance.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Instead of addressing the upper eyelids, lower eyelid surgery helps correct for bagginess under the eyes. This common occurrence can make a person look older then they are. By removing excess skin under the eyes, you can enjoy smoother facial features. The blepharoplasty patients at our practice serving Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Maple Grove, and other areas, often combine eyelid surgery with a browlift to further enhance the rejuvenation around the eye area.
