Revitalize Your Eyes and Restore Your Confidence
Do sagging eyelids make you feel tired, older, or less vibrant than you truly are?

Without action, sagging skin or puffiness could worsen, deepening your self-consciousness or even impairing your vision. Our board-certified surgeons, with extensive expertise in facial aesthetics, deliver precise, natural results through this minimally invasive procedure. Choose upper eyelid surgery at AR Aesthetics to reclaim a vibrant appearance and clear vision with minimal downtime.
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 issues can lead to hooding, heaviness, or vision challenges. Our surgeons make discreet incisions in the natural crease of the eyelid to adjust the tissue, creating a lifted, more defined contour. The result is a refreshed, open eye area that enhances your facial harmony, improving both your appearance and comfort.

What to Expect During Your Upper Eyelid Surgery Appointment
Consultation
Our experts assess your eyelid structure, listen to your concerns, and form a personalized plan to address aesthetic and functional goals, such as improving vision.
Procedure Day
After cleansing the eyelids, we apply local anesthesia, with sedation available if needed. A precise incision along the eyelid fold allows us to adjust skin, fat, or muscle and close it with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
