Upper Eyelid Surgery in Melbourne, FL
What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Upper eyelid surgery addresses age-related changes by removing or repositioning loose skin, fat, or muscle from the upper eyelids. These changes often lead to hooding, heaviness, or impaired vision. Through subtle incisions along the eyelid’s natural crease, our surgeons sculpt the tissue to create a lifted, defined contour. The result is an open, rested eye area that harmonizes with your facial features, boosting both your appearance and quality of life.
