Eyelid
& Eyebrow Enhancement
Your
eyes are usually the first thing people notice as you exchange eye
contact or engage in conversation. Whether smiling or frowning,
your eyes are constantly conveying expressions. Due to the wrinkling
and stretching of eyelid skin, this area may be the first to show
the signs of aging. Fortunately, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
and browlift surgery (browplasty) can improve your appearance safely
and effectively.

anesthesia.

skin with fine wrinkling may become noticeable with time.

may pay for upper eyelid or eyebrow surgery if significant visual
obstruction can be demonstrated.
