Palm Beach Eyelid Surgery: Blepharoplasty for Youthful Eyes

Blepharoplasty is a facial plastic surgery procedure that trims sagging skin and removes small pockets of fat around the eyes. This eyelid-lifting treatment is ideal for patients in Palm Beach seeking aesthetic enhancement and improved vision due to drooping eyelids.
Dr. Joel Kopelman offers personalized blepharoplasty in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. With over 35 years of experience in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, he tailors each surgical procedure to the individual, restoring youthful contours while preserving eyelid function.

What Is a Blepharoplasty Procedure?

A blepharoplasty procedure addresses common eye conditions caused by aging, such as:
  • Droopy or sagging upper eyelids
  • Puffy bags under the eyes
  • Obstructed peripheral vision
It involves removing excess skin and fat around the eyelids to restore a more alert, rested look. Some patients may also benefit from a complementary brow lift to improve upper face symmetry and lift heavy brows.

Upper Eyelid Surgery in Palm Beach

As skin loses elasticity, upper eyelids can sag and press against the eyelashes, impacting appearance and vision. Cosmetic upper eyelid surgery corrects this by removing excess skin and fat while preserving eyelid shape.
Dr. Kopelman performs upper blepharoplasty in-office using local anesthesia or IV sedation at his surgical center. Incisions are carefully hidden within the natural eyelid crease to minimize visible scarring.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty in West Palm Beach

Lower eyelid surgery reduces bulging fat deposits and tightens loose tissue. Dr. Kopelman often uses a scarless transconjunctival approach to address puffiness without external incisions.
In patients with volume loss, he may reposition or implant fat to fill hollows and smooth under-eye contours. A skin-muscle tightening technique may be added for those with sagging skin.
