Do drooping eyelids or sagging undereye bags make you look older, tired, or unfriendly? The fragile skin around the eyes is often the first to show signs of aging – and once it gets thinner and loses elasticity, few nonsurgical options can reverse the effects. Concealer may mask dark circles, but it can’t lift heavy lids or smooth puffiness. Hooded eyes can cast shadows that make you appear fatigued or angry, even when you feel energetic and upbeat.
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is your solution to these issues. Dr. Jason Cooper specializes in personalized procedures that restore a more youthful, refreshed look while enhancing your eyes’ natural contours. Whether you want to improve vision obstructed by sagging lids or brighten your appearance, eyelid surgery can help you reclaim your expressive, vibrant look.
How Does Eyelid Surgery Work?
Your eyes can communicate so much without you saying a word – and it may be time for a refresh if sagging lids or puffy undereye bags start to speak louder than your energy and spirit. Blepharoplasty is a precise, minimally invasive procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids, restoring clarity and openness to your expression.
Dr. Cooper performs upper, lower, or combined blepharoplasty procedures depending on your goals. During your consultation, he’ll assess your anatomy, listen to your concerns, and recommend the approach that best suits your needs, including whether pairing your eyelid surgery with a complementary procedure like a facelift can deliver even more comprehensive results. Whether your motivation is primarily functional or cosmetic, we’re here to help you make an informed, empowered decision.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Blepharoplasty might be ideal if you are in good health and want to restore a youthful, well-rested look that reflects your inner energy. This procedure can address multiple concerns simultaneously:
- Drooping upper eyelids that make you look tired or interfere with your field of vision
- Puffy undereye bags that don’t go away with sleep or targeted skincare products
- Loose or crepey skin around the eyes that affect your confidence
- A desire for natural-looking rejuvenation without dramatically changing your appearance

What Can You Expect Before and During Eyelid Surgery?
The idea of having surgery around your eyes can feel intimidating. Fortunately, eyelid surgery is a straightforward, comfortable process when performed by an experienced specialist. Dr. Cooper will make every effort to help you feel informed, relaxed, and confident from your initial consultation through your final follow-up visit. He’ll listen to your concerns, evaluate your skin quality, and explain what results you can realistically expect with the solutions available to you.
Dr. Cooper performs blepharoplasty as an in-office procedure using IV sedation. He makes small incisions in the natural creases of your eyelids to remove or redistribute skin, fat, and muscle, carefully reshaping your eye contours to restore a youthful, natural appearance. He uses fine sutures to close the incisions, minimizing visible scarring.
What Is Recovery Like After a Blepharoplasty?
For the first few days, most patients experience mild bruising, swelling, discomfort, dryness, itching, and sensitivity. Dr. Cooper will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ease these symptoms, which may include applying cold compresses to reduce inflammation, using lubricating ointments to soothe dry eyes, and taking pain medication as directed.
While everyone heals at a different pace, many blepharoplasty patients take about three to five days off from work and daily activities. You may wish to request more time off or switch to a part-time schedule if your job involves heavy computer work with lots of screen time.
To ensure efficient and optimal healing, avoid vigorous exercise for three to four weeks and protect your healing tissues with sunscreen. As swelling and bruising fade, you will see smoother, more defined skin around your eyes, with a more alert appearance.
