What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure that rejuvenates the eye area by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and tissue for a more youthful and alert appearance. At Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, our plastic surgeons offer both upper blepharoplasty to correct drooping upper eyelids and lower blepharoplasty to reduce puffiness, under-eye bags, and sagging skin. These procedures can significantly enhance facial aesthetics, helping patients look more refreshed and confident, and even improve vision in some cases. Contact one of our offices in Fayetteville, Newnan, or Stockbridge, GA to schedule a consultation and learn more about how eyelid surgery can help you enhance your look.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery offers both cosmetic and functional benefits, enhancing the appearance of the eyes while also improving vision in some cases. Benefits include:
- A more youthful, refreshed look
- Reduction of drooping upper eyelids
- Smoother under-eye area with fewer bags
- Boost in self-confidence and appearance
- Minimal scarring with natural-looking results
- Enhanced symmetry and eye contour
- Can be combined with other facial procedures
How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Eyelid surgery may take about 1 – 2 hours, depending on whether one or both eyelids are being treated. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is commonly used to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. The goal of blepharoplasty surgery is to create a smoother, more refreshed eye area with minimal scarring and downtime.
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Upper eyelid surgery is performed by making a small incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Through this incision, the surgeon removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle to reduce drooping and create a more lifted, youthful look. This procedure is often chosen to improve appearance and, in some cases, to enhance vision if sagging eyelid skin obstructs the visual field.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Lower eyelid surgery targets puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose or wrinkled skin beneath the eyes. The incision is typically made just below the lower lash line or inside the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to remove or redistribute fat and tighten the skin for a smoother contour. This procedure helps rejuvenate the under-eye area and reduce the appearance of tiredness or aging.
- Combined Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty: When both upper and lower eyelids are addressed in the same session, the procedure offers a comprehensive refresh of the entire eye area. Combined blepharoplasty surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and typically takes 1.5 – 2.5 hours. This approach allows patients to achieve more dramatic and balanced results with one recovery period.

I have been going to Dr. Ranieri for 13 years!The office staff is always very professional and yet personal.Amanda is great!She listens with her ears and eyes!Amanda makes you feel like you’ve known her for years!!😃
The people are very nice and knowledgeable. The procedure took years from my eyes ! I will definitely trust Dr Akinbiyi with more work in the future.
Dr. Raniere did a wonderful job on my face/neck lift and lower blepharoplasty. My results are wonderful and so natural looking. Dr. Raniere was informative and thorough from start to finish. The evening after my surgery, he personally called me to see how I was doing. He managed my expectations and my recovery every step of my journey. I highly recommend Dr. Raniere and his team. I'd also like to thank Kim for the best care. She is gentle, kind, so sweet and just the best! I am very grateful, and I deeply appreciate your exceptional care!Thanks also to Amanda Fowler, PA-C. Amanda exudes kindness and catered to my fear with complete empathy. She is highly skilled and an expert at managing pain and injecting. Courtney was so sweet to sit with me for added support. I had lip filler injected today. My procedure was painless, thanks to a dental block and numbing cream. My lips look so natural, and I love the results. Thank you so very much, Amanda and Courtney! Amanda is an excellent injector, and I'd say the BEST in her field. Everyone at Advanced Aesthetics is superb.
Fantastic customer service Amanda listens to your concerns. I had the Morpheus eight done this morning and my eyes already look better thank you.
Really enjoyed meeting with Dr Akinbiy, he was very knowledgeable about the procedures Iwas inquiring about!!! I received Botox around my eyes and I was thrilled with the results! It’s been about a month and I still feel good about how I look!!!! Definitely recommend!!!
