Brand: Dr. Sofonio
Rating: 4.3 (383 reviews)

If you have noticeable wrinkles or excess, loose skin on your upper or lower eyelids, you may wish to have a procedure to improve the appearance of your eyelids. Excessive skin of the eyelids can cause you to look older and less vital. Our custom Palm Springs blepharoplasty can surgically correct this aesthetic issue. Dr. Sofonio performs custom eyelid lift surgeries in his private, accredited plastic surgery clinic in Rancho Mirage.

An eyelid lift could be performed on your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both depending on your individual condition. Some people achieve the changes they envision with a mini lower eyelid tuck instead of a full eyelid lift in Palm Springs, which can be less invasive and involves minimal recovery time.

Eyelid Surgery –

What to Expect

An eyelid surgery in Palm Springs, is performed to remove loose or sagging skin on your upper or lower eyelids, or both. This custom surgery can reduce the appearance of bags under your eyes, drooping lower eyelids, fatty deposits that give your eyes a puffy, tired look, and smooth the fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes.

During an upper eyelid lift in Palm Springs, Dr. Sofonio will make a small, delicately placed incision along the natural crease of your eyelid. In a lower eyelid lift, Dr. Sofonio places a tiny incision just below your lower lash line.

A mini eyelid tuck involves even shorter incisions. After the corrections have been performed, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, removed in about one week.

The procedure is usually performed with local anesthesia or intravenous sedation and takes about one to two hours, depending on the extent of the changes.
