Eyelid and Brow Surgery

Eyelid and brow surgery in Scottsdale with Dr. Victoria Aimé begins with evaluating your upper and lower eyelids, eyelid position, brow position, eye health, facial anatomy, and the specific changes you would like to address.

A Personalized Approach to Eyelid and Brow Surgery

Changes around the eyes can come from several different structures, and the area that bothers you does not always identify the procedure that will help. Excess upper eyelid skin, upper eyelid position, brow position, under-eye bags, hollowing, facial volume loss, and differences between the two sides can all affect the appearance of the eyes.

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess upper eyelid skin and may address excess or prominent fat when appropriate. If the upper eyelid itself sits too low, ptosis repair may be performed. A brow lift can address brow position when it contributes to heaviness around the upper eyes. Lower blepharoplasty can address concerns such as under-eye bags, excess skin, hollowing, and lower eyelid support. Facial fat grafting may also be used to restore volume around the eyes, temples, or cheeks when volume loss contributes to the overall appearance.

During your consultation, your upper and lower eyelids, upper eyelid position, brow position, eye health, facial proportions, volume distribution, and goals are evaluated together. Depending on your anatomy and concerns, upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, brow lift, and facial fat grafting may be performed individually or combined as part of the same surgical plan. The consultation also helps distinguish concerns these procedures can improve from those they do not directly treat, such as skin pigmentation or some fine lines and wrinkles.

Preparing for Surgery
The Surgical Procedure
Recovering from Surgery
01

Preparing for Eyelid Surgery

You will have a preoperative appointment with Dr. Aimé to review your surgical plan and finalize the details. If your procedure will be performed under general anesthesia (e.g., for lower blepharoplasty or combined cases), you may need pre-op labs or clearance from your primary care physician.

• Discontinue smoking and nicotine products at least 6 weeks prior

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements as advised

• Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home

If you have a history of eye conditions, additional screening such as an ophthalmologic exam may be required.

02

Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Upper Blepharoplasty involves a precise incision placed in the natural upper eyelid crease. Excess skin and fat are removed to restore a smoother, more defined eyelid contour. The incision is closed with fine sutures, typically resulting in a barely visible scar.

Lower Blepharoplasty may be performed via:

  • A transconjunctival approach (internal incision) to remove or reposition fat when skin is not excessive
  • An external approach (just below the lash line) when skin excision is needed

In some cases, fat may be repositioned to correct tear trough hollows. If necessary, the lower eyelid muscle may also be gently tightened to enhance support.

Brow Lift (when performed) uses incisions hidden in the hairline. The underlying tissues are elevated and secured in a more youthful position to complement the blepharoplasty and refresh the entire upper face.

03

Recovering from Eyelid Surgery

Post-operative swelling and bruising are common around the eyes. These typically improve significantly over the first 1–2 weeks. Patients are encouraged to:

  • Use cold compresses and sleep with their head elevated
  • Apply lubricating eye drops, gels, or ointments, especially when swelling makes eyelid closure incomplete
  • Avoid strenuous activity and contact lens use for at least 2 weeks

Discomfort is typically mild and well-managed with over-the-counter medications. Sutures are removed at 1 week. Most patients return to daily routines within 1 week. Concealer makeup and glasses can help camouflage any residual bruising.
