Grand Rapids plastic surgeons Dr. Brad Bengtson  and Dr. David Alfonso use advanced surgical techniques to perform blepharoplasty eyelid surgery for men in Grand Rapids and Birmingham, helping them look alert, content, and as young on the outside as they feel on the inside. After all, your eyes are the focal point of your face, connecting you visually with others. When you look in the mirror, are you tired of seeing hooded, droopy eyes or puffy bags and dark circles under your eyes?

If so, eyelid surgery might be right for you. Blepharoplasty, also known as "eyelid surgery" or "eye lift surgery" is a highly individualized procedure. Blepharoplasty helps men in Grand Rapids and Birmingham refine the contour of their upper eyelids by removing extra skin;

it can also help smooth hollows, bags, or puffiness of the lower eyelid by removing excess fat or skin. For some men, eyelid surgery may also improve sad or down-turned eyes. Blepharoplasty is often combined with brow lift surgery or BOTOX Cosmetic for optimal improvement in the eye area. Along with liposuction and male breast reduction, Grand Rapids eyelid surgery is one of the most common procedures requested by men in our practice. You can trust Dr. Bengtson’s individualized, detail-oriented approach to help you achieve youthful, rested, and naturally attractive eyes that reflect your true vitality.

What is eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, restores or sculpts a youthful contour to the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both. Upper eyelid surgery removes extra skin and hooding, while lower eyelid surgery removes fat and sagging skin of the lower eyelid to improve bags, puffiness, and dark circles. A Grand Rapids blepharoplasty eyelid surgery for men at the Bengtson Center typically includes the following techniques:

  • An incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Fat may be redistributed or removed, excess skin is diminished, and a more alert, refreshed look is restored.
  • Through an incision inside the lower eyelid, fat may be reduced, grafted, or redistributed to improve hollow areas beneath your eyes.
  • An incision just at or below the lower lash line allows for the reduction of excess sagging skin below the lower eyelid and correction of bags and puffiness.
  • An incision beyond the outer corner of the eye can tighten the tendons of the eyes, improving a down-turned appearance and a “sad eyes” look.
