Awaken Your Look with Eyelid Surgery at Athēnix Irvine

The eye area often shows the earliest signs of aging, from drooping lids to puffy under-eye bags. At Athēnix Irvine, our board-certified surgeons perform upper and lower blepharoplasty with artistry and precision. By carefully lifting or reshaping the eyelids, we help patients achieve a refreshed appearance that looks natural and balanced—never overdone.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the eye area by addressing excess skin, fat, or laxity in the eyelids. Depending on your needs, options include:

  • Upper eyelid surgery: Removes sagging skin that may hood the eyes or limit peripheral vision.
  • Lower eyelid surgery: Reduces puffiness, fat bulges, and hollowing beneath the eyes.
  • Combined procedures: Many patients benefit from treatment on both upper and lower lids for complete rejuvenation.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Patients in Irvine choose blepharoplasty for its wide range of improvements, including:

  • Restores a brighter, more youthful appearance to the eyes
  • Eliminates puffiness and smooths under-eye bags
  • Improves vision when sagging upper lids obstruct sight
  • Enhances facial harmony and balance
  • Leaves minimal, hidden scarring
  • Can be combined with a facelift or brow lift for comprehensive results

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for blepharoplasty if you:

  • Have sagging or drooping upper eyelids
  • Experience puffiness or bags under the eyes
  • Notice excess eyelid skin interfering with vision
  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Want natural-looking, long-lasting results

During your consultation at Athēnix Irvine, your surgeon will evaluate your eyelid anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals to create a tailored surgical plan.

What to Expect During Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure in our AAAHC-accredited Irvine facility. Depending on your plan, it may involve:

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

Upper eyelid incisions

Placed within the natural crease to remove or reposition fat and trim excess skin.

Lower eyelid incisions

Made just below the lash line or inside the lid for a scar-free exterior.

Refinement

Tissues are reshaped for smoother, youthful contours.

Most procedures take 1–2 hours, and patients return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Recovery is generally straightforward. Swelling, bruising, or tightness around the eyes are common in the first week but improve quickly with rest and cold compresses. Most patients return to work or social activities within 7–10 days.

Final results become visible over several weeks as the tissues heal and swelling resolves, revealing brighter, more open eyes. Outcomes are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying refreshed eyelids for 10 years or more.
