Blepharoplasty
Your eyes are the focal point of your face, conveying emotion and vitality. Over time, aging and genetics can lead to sagging skin, excess eyelid skin, and puffiness around the eyes, which can cause a tired or aged appearance. At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery, blepharoplasty—commonly known as eyelid surgery—offers a transformative solution to restore youthful, refreshed eyes.
Led by acclaimed plastic surgeon Dr. Sirius K. Yoo, we specialize in both upper blepharoplasty and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, tailoring each procedure to your unique needs for natural, stunning results.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, corrects the signs of aging that occurs in the upper and lower eyelids.
The procedure removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle, addressing common concerns like drooping upper lids, under-eye puffiness, and fine lines. As we age, the shape and contour of the eyelids change, and the skin becomes hooded, and fat prolapses, leading to both puffy and sunken areas. Blepharoplasty removes redundant skin and either reposition fat or removes excess to restore the eyes to a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Yoo is an expert in upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. He tailors his approach to the patient's specific needs. Dr. Yoo specializes in fat preservation by repositioning it to fill in areas of hollowness. This can often lead to more impressive lower lid rejuvenation than conventional lower lid blepharoplasty. He is also a leader in the transconjunctival approach that leads to scarless results.
