Eyelid surgery, whether upper or lower, generally does not cause visible scarring. Your surgeon will carefully make incisions within the natural lines and folds of the eyes, which will hide any scars from view. After healing from surgery, the incisions will not be overtly noticeable.

What is Eyelid Surgery?
Drooping skin and bulges of fat around your eyes can obstruct your vision and make you look tired, aged, or annoyed. Refresh your look with eyelid surgery at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates!
Our experienced surgeons offer eyelid surgery, also known as a blepharoplasty, in Jacksonville to trim and tighten the skin around your eyes. This simple procedure can clear your field of vision and give you a more alert, youthful look.

- Bulging fat
- Poor vision from sagging skin
What To Expect From Eyelid Surgery
01
Consultation
The first step for your blepharoplasty in Jacksonville is a personal consultation at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates. One of our expert doctors will listen attentively while you describe what you would like to change about your appearance. Then, they will provide recommendations and help you choose the right treatment for your goals.
02
Anesthesia
After tailoring your care plan to your facial anatomy and needs, your surgeon will explain the entire treatment process step-by-step. We provide local anesthetics and IV sedation for this procedure. Your surgeon will let you know what to expect from each, and together, you’ll decide on your best option for pain management.
03
Procedure
We use a similar method for both the upper and the lower eyelids. Your surgeon will create an incision along the natural fold of the eyelid and remove excess fat and tissue. Once done, they trim away the excess skin and close the incision with fine sutures. Many patients benefit from combining this simple procedure with others for comprehensive rejuvenation.
04
Recovery
After your blepharoplasty in Jacksonville, you and your surgeon will review your after-care instructions once more and schedule a follow-up appointment before you leave. You may experience swelling and discoloration around your eyes for the first few days. Elevate your head and take prescribed pain medication to minimize discomfort during this time.

Eyelid Surgery FAQs
A blepharoplasty in Jacksonville specifically treats the eyelids. If you have concerns about crow’s feet or forehead wrinkles, we recommend procedures like a facelift, brow lift, or cheek lift. We can combine your eyelid surgery with other nonsurgical options, such as Botox or fillers, that can help smooth away wrinkles.
Dark circles are most commonly caused by thinning skin due to aging. While eyelid surgery does not provide effective treatment for dark circles, we can recommend other options during your consultation.
