Cosmetic eyelid surgery is one of the key facial rejuvenation procedures that will produce some of the most dramatic results within a relatively short period of recovery. Eyelid surgery is the third most common cosmetic surgery in the United States. When considering eyelid surgery there is a fine balance between aesthetics and function. As an oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Kopelman has a unique approach to address both functional and cosmetic eyelid problems. According to Dr. Kopelman, “there has been a paradigm shift in surgical techniques over the past ten years away from creating high lid folds and the extraction of too much eyelid fat which created hollow, unnatural appearing, gaunt eyelids.” You can have confidence that you will achieve natural appearing improvements in the laxity of your upper eyelid skin, wrinkles and folds and a reduction in lower eyelid bulging fat pads. Dr. Kopelman’s newer ‘gentler’ cosmetic eyelid surgery techniques emphasize a preservation of tissue that customize the procedure.
Dr. Kopelman has 35 years experience as an aesthetic and reconstructive eyelid specialist. The reconstruction and revision of the eyelids following previous eyelid surgery, or following an eyelid injury, dog bite, birth defect, or after removal of eyelid skin cancer can be challenging. Not all plastic surgeons are trained or have the experience in eyelid reconstruction but fortunately Dr. Kopelman is a master at rebuilding eyelids. His goal is to not only recreate your cosmetic appearance but to restore the symmetry and function of the eyelids. The procedures therefore require a dual set of skills. He maintains the same high standards and attention to detail that he employs when he performs cosmetic eyelid surgery. His meticulous surgical techniques will restore your self–image and give you peace of mind following a traumatic experience. Dr. Kopelman will ensure that the eyelids will open and close normally so that your eyes and vision are well protected.

A browlift will help to restore the natural proportions of your eyelids and brow.Most people believe that as they age they have developed an extraordinary amount of upper eyelid skin when in fact a large portion of this “excess tissue” is due to the downward descent of the brow. The upper eyelid skin starts to overlap the eyelid crease creating a “hooded” appearance particularly at the outer aspects of your upper eyelids. The “platform” of the upper eyelids above the eyelashes begins to disappear beneath overhanging skin. Dr. Kopelman uses an endoscopic browlift technique to counteract the effects of gravity to lift and restore a more youthful brighter appearance.
