The eyes are the central element of the face, and William Shakespeare called the eyes "the window to your soul."
However, an abundance of skin or fat above or under the eyes can create an aging look.
Scottsdale, AZ plastic surgeon Dr. James Nachbar offers blepharoplasty (also known as eyelid surgery) to remove excess skin and/or fat, and lift the upper or lower eyelid, creating a younger and awakened facial appearance.
Countless men and women undergo eyelid surgery at Scottsdale Plastic Surgery to remove puffy bulges, which helps with both functionality and facial appearance. Upper and lower eyelid surgery creates a fresh, youthful appearance and can produce subtle yet striking improvements.
What Are the Benefits of an Eyelid Lift?
A customized eyelid lift in Scottsdale, AZ at Scottsdale Plastic Surgery gives pragmatic and cosmetic improvements alike to your face, with great advantages, like:
- Improving vision by clearing line of sight
- Providing a more present, aware look
- Attaining a more youthful, refreshed look
- Treating looseness and/or excess skin in the lower and upper eyelids
- Resolving bulging beneath the eyes
- Boosting the shape and appearance of the eyes
- Boosting comfort by eliminating friction from skin folds
Is An Eyelid Lift Right for Me?
Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic surgery that is sought out by both men and women. During your private consultation, Dr. Nachbar will evaluate your face and eyes, and let you know what options are available to help you.
Often, the eyes are the first part of the face to show aging, which can make you look older than you are. If the department store salesperson has asked if your female companion, who was your younger sister, was your daughter, you may be ready for blepharoplasty! (That actually happened to one of my nurses!)
In most cases, ideal candidates are impaired by excess, hanging skin and folds above their eyes or bulging skin and/or fat at the bottom eyelid.
Excess skin of the upper eyelid can cause impairment in your visual fields, making it hard to see what is above your head.
For a rejuvenated appearance, eyelid surgery may be the right procedure for you. If you have loose skin that droops on the upper eyelid or bulges and puffiness under the eyes, blepharoplasty can correct this to give you a younger appearance.
Eyelid Lift Reviews
Breast Augmentation, Eyelid Surgery - I always felt that Dr. Nachbar listened to my concerns and addressed them head on. I had a very realistic view of what my results would be, taking into consideration my age and weight, etc., I feel that Dr. Nachbar met those expectations. He answered my questions honestly and if I wasn't happy with something, he offered a solution. The staff was always very professional, friendly and accommodating. I had several procedures, one of them involved Dr, Nachbar correcting a surgery (botched) that I had done elsewhere. He truly made a difference in greatly improving on the results to the point where I feel like true self.
Face Lift, Restylane®, Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation, Eyelid Surgery, Neck Lift - [Rating Only]
Face Lift, Eyelid Surgery - I feel like Dr. Nachbar took the time to really find out what my needs are and it’s genuinely interested in making sure I’m happy with my results.
Breast Implant Revision, Eyelid Surgery, Breast Lift - This was the second breast augmentation procedure, the first ones I felt were too large for me. I had them removed and replaced with smaller ones along with a lift and am much more satified.
Face Lift, Eyelid Surgery - The quality of care was top notch and Dr. Nachbar was so nice to work with and explained everything very well and made himself available if I needed him after surgery

How Is Eyelid Surgery Performed?
Dr. Nachbar generally performs blepharoplasty under general anesthesia, although if only the upper eyelids are being treated, local anesthesia may be appropriate. This cosmetic procedure may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom eyelid, or a combination of both upper and lower during the same surgery.
- Upper
Upper blepharoplasty assists in diminishing the hanging of skin that droops over the eye to create a more appealing eyelid appearance. An incision is usually made along the fold of the upper eyelid. - Lower
Lower eyelid surgery is performed to reduce extra, puffy skin and/or fat under the lower eyelid. The incision is placed just under the lash line to allow access to tighten the skin and remove extra fat, and the skin is delicately lifted to produce a smoother look.
What to Expect Following An Eyelid Lift
After the procedure, you should take a few days to rest and avoid strenuous activities, although you will be up and around right away. Ice packs can help reduce bruising and swelling for the first day or so.
The results from blepharoplasty can last years and although the results are lasting, the aging process does not stop. To complement the surgical outcomes, facial rejuvenation treatments at Scottsdale Plastic Surgery such as skin treatments and fillers can be used to extend your fresh appearance.

Eyelid Lift FAQs
How much does an eyelid lift cost?
Eyelid lift costs can vary depending on whether you have an upper eyelid lift, lower, or both. When your surgical plan has been created in your consultation, Dr. Nachbar can go over estimated costs. For results that look natural and last a long time, it's better to focus on finding an experienced plastic surgeon that you trust, like Dr. Nachbar, instead of trying to find the cheapest place. Scottsdale Plastic Surgery uses many payment methods to make it easy for you to afford a great eyelid lift, including low-interest medical financing.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Wrinkles on your forehead and the corners of your eyes (Crow's feet) may be better corrected with a facelift or brow lift since the eyelid lift results are limited to the upper or lower eyelids. An eyelid lift can also be combined with a nonsurgical treatment such as BOTOX®, which combats wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Wrinkle fillers, like JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®, can also be effective because they add volume to hollow areas for a softer, smoother appearance. In your initial consultation, Dr. Nachbar will develop your unique treatment plan to fit your needs and goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Nonsurgical skin tightening plus injectable treatments (such as JUVÉDERM, Restylane, and BOTOX) may provide mild improvements. However, if you want to fix moderate to severe sagging skin or would like to see long-lasting results, an eyelid lift would be better than a nonsurgical treatment. After you have talked to Dr. Nachbar about your concerns and goals for your eyes, he will give you his suggestions for your nonsurgical or surgical treatment plan. He might also recommend both surgical and nonsurgical procedures together for ideal results.
