This procedure restores a more alert, youthful appearance and can also improve vision when sagging eyelids interfere with sight. At Kapital Surgery Center in Miami, we perform both cosmetic and functional blepharoplasty using minimally invasive techniques that deliver subtle, natural results.<\/p><p><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/p><p>For the upper eyelids, incisions are made along the natural crease to remove extra skin and fat. For the lower eyelids, incisions are either hidden below the lash line or made inside the eyelid (transconjunctival) to address puffiness and under-eye bags without visible scars.<\/p><p><strong>Ideal Candidates<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Droopy upper eyelids that make you look tired or aged<\/li><li>Puffy lower eyelids or under-eye bags<\/li><li>Good overall health and no serious eye conditions<\/li><li>Realistic expectations for improvement.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Brightens the eye area<\/li><li>Restores alert, youthful appearance<\/li><li>May improve vision in functional cases<\/li><li>Minimal scarring with natural results<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Recovery<\/strong><\/p><p>Swelling and bruising last 1\u20132 weeks.
