Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Precision Eyelid Contouring with Dr. Puyana

Refining the Eyes. Restoring Expression.

The eyes are often the first area to show fatigue and aging – but eyelid changes are not limited to age alone. Genetics, facial anatomy, and lifestyle all influence excess skin, puffiness, fat bags, and hollowing around the eyes.

Blepharoplasty is not about changing the eyes. It’s about refining their contour and restoring clarity to your expression.

At Puyana 

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana offers advanced upper and lower eyelid surgery, combining precise surgical techniques with modern adjuncts such as fat transfer and laser therapy. Each procedure is carefully tailored to improve eyelid contour while preserving natural expression.

What Is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure that improves the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids by addressing:

  • Excess or lax skin (dermatochalasis)

  • Fat protrusion or under-eye bags

  • Hollowing or tear trough deformity

  • Drooping eyelids that create a tired appearance

Upper and lower eyelid surgery can be performed independently or together, depending on anatomy and goals. Dr. Salomon Puyana designs each blepharoplasty plan to balance skin removal, fat preservation or repositioning, and overall facial harmony.

Why Choose Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?

Patients choose blepharoplasty to:

  • Look more rested and refreshed
Reduce heaviness or hooding of the upper eyelids
  • Eliminate under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Improve the tear trough area
  • Enhance eye shape without altering expression

When performed with precision, eyelid surgery delivers subtle yet powerful improvement that rejuvenates the entire face.

Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery

  • Upper Eyelid Surgery

    Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and refining eyelid contour. In patients with eyelid drooping caused by muscle weakness, ptosis repair can be performed through the same incision, leaving a nearly imperceptible scar hidden within the natural eyelid crease.

  • Lower Eyelid Surgery

    Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, fat protrusion, and tear trough deformity. When appropriate, Dr. Puyana performs transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, accessing fat through the inside of the eyelid to minimize external scarring.
 Adjuncts such as fat transfer and laser therapy may be used to improve contour, skin quality, and long-term results.
