AESTHETIC

Cosmetic eye services can significantly improve the appearance of puffy or baggy eyelids, fine lines, and wrinkles. The results of these aesthetic procedures can last months or years, depending on the type of treatment.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is the most common cosmetic eye procedure performed at Yale Medicine. For the upper lid, the procedure involves making an incision in the natural crease of the eyelid, and then removing and reshaping the excess skin, muscle, and fat that develop with age and sun exposure.
