Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery

Drooping upper eyelids or persistent under-eye bags can make you look tired, older, or even interfere with your vision. Eyelid surgery can address these concerns by removing excess skin and fat, creating a brighter, more rested appearance while maintaining your natural facial features.

At Stephen M. Miller MD in Las Vegas, NV, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen M. Miller brings decades of surgical experience to facial plastic surgery. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Miller takes the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and help you decide if an eyelid lift is the right choice for you.

5 Signs You May Be a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery

While every person is different, several signs can indicate that blepharoplasty may be a good option:

• You Have Drooping Upper Eyelids: Excess skin on the upper eyelids can create a heavy, tired appearance. In some cases, the skin may even interfere with your field of vision.
• You Notice Puffy Bags Under Your Eyes: Stubborn under-eye bags often develop as fat shifts with age. When creams and healthy habits no longer improve their appearance, lower eyelid surgery may provide a smoother, more refreshed look.
• You Look Tired Even When You’re Well Rested: You may feel frustrated when others constantly ask if you’re tired. Eyelid surgery can address sagging skin and puffiness that contribute to this appearance.
• You Are in Good Overall Health: Good candidates are generally healthy, do not have uncontrolled medical conditions that could affect healing, and are non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before surgery.
• You Have Realistic Expectations: Eyelid surgery can create a noticeable improvement, but it will not completely change your face or stop the natural aging process. Understanding what the procedure can realistically achieve is an important part of a successful outcome.
