Revitalize Your Eyes with Expert Eyelid Surgery

Enhance Your Appearance and Improve Functionality

Transform Your Look and Boost Your Confidence

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a transformative procedure that addresses sagging eyelids, under-eye puffiness, and dark circles, helping you look as vibrant and youthful as you feel. Dr. Macdonald specializes in creating natural, refreshed results that enhance your unique facial features.

How Does Blepharoplasty Enhance Your Appearance?

Restore Youthful Vitality and Brightness to Your Appearance

Eyelid surgery revitalizes your eyes, creating a more open and approachable look:

Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removes excess skin and droopiness, restoring a youthful, rested appearance.
Lower Eyelid Surgery: Smooths puffiness, repositions fatty tissue, and eliminates under-eye hollows for a refreshed look.
Overall Results: Patients often look 5-10 years younger, with friends and family noticing their rejuvenated, rested appearance.

Am I a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

You may benefit from eyelid surgery if you experience:

Saggy, drooping upper eyelids that make you look tired or sad.
Puffy lower eyelids with under-eye hollows or dark circles.
A desire to refresh your appearance and look more youthful.
Impaired vision due to drooping eyelids.

If these issues resonate with you, schedule a consultation to explore how blepharoplasty can help you.

Combination Procedures for Enhanced Results

Maximize your rejuvenation by pairing blepharoplasty with:

Laser Resurfacing: Tightens and smooths crow’s feet, crepey skin, and other imperfections around the eyes.
Brow Lift: Elevates heavy brows for a more open and youthful expression.
Facelift or Neck Lift: Rejuvenates the entire face for a harmonious transformation.

Dr. Macdonald also specializes in Asian eyelid surgery, including double-eyelid procedures, tailored to maintain natural ethnic beauty.
