Blepharoplasty

Eyelid Surgery for a Brighter, Younger Look
Your eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Sagging eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags can make you look tired or older than you feel. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a precise procedure that rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and puffiness. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud performs blepharoplasty with a focus on subtle, natural results that restore brightness to your eyes—without changing their shape.

Types of Blepharoplasty We Offer

  • Upper Eyelid Surgery
    Removes excess skin and fat that causes droopy lids or hooded eyes.
  • Lower Eyelid Surgery
    Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags by removing or repositioning fat.
  • Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty
    Scarless internal technique for lower eyelid fat removal in younger patients.
  • Functional Blepharoplasty

    • Have realistic expectations about the results
Zeal Approach to Blepharoplasty
At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud designs each blepharoplasty based on your unique facial anatomy, eye shape, and goals. Incisions are made within the natural folds of the eyelid or inside the eyelid (for lower eyelid cases), making scars virtually invisible. Precision fat removal or repositioning ensures natural contouring—not a hollow or overdone look.
For optimal results, blepharoplasty is often paired with: Brow lift (to address sagging brows or forehead), CO2 laser resurfacing (for fine wrinkles and skin texture), Fat grafting or skin boosters (for tear trough rejuvenation)
