Eyelid Surgery

Refresh your tired-appearing eyes with an eyelid lift, also known as eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. Dr. Hasen performs eyelid surgery at his Naples, FL, practice with discreetly positioned incisions that are nearly invisible once healed.

If you are seriously considering eyelid surgery and you live near the Naples-Fort Myers area, we invite you to contact us for more information or to schedule your consultation. Be sure to register online for a special consultation savings.

Who Is a Good Eyelid Surgery Candidate?

Eyelid Surgery

Patients who receive comments from others that they appear sad, tired or old.
Men and women with excess skin that causes hooding of the upper lids.
Patients who cannot easily apply makeup to the upper eyelids.
Patients with excess skin, wrinkles, bags or puffiness to the lower eyelids.
Patients who have drooping look to the corners of the eyes.
Men and women who have difficulty seeing when looking upward.

If the under-eye area is your main concern, you may be a candidate for a nonsurgical procedure called FaceTite, which tightens skin and reshapes underlying fat.

Eyelid Surgery Procedures

The procedure is performed in our fully-accredited, private surgery suite in Naples, Florida, using local or general anesthesia. It is complete in about 2 to 3 hours for both eyes.
In the upper eyelid, an incision is made in the natural crease and some of the excess skin and fat are removed.
In the lower eyelid, the incision is made below the eyelashes or below the inside edge of the eyelid, and some of the excess skin and fat are removed.
The muscles are tightened or lifted.
This can be combined with a forehead lift or a face lift in Naples.
