Before the surgery, Dr. Khan will physically examine your eyes and eyelids and photograph the area from different angles. You will also need to stop taking certain medications and quit smoking ahead of time.

The procedure itself is usually an outpatient process that includes numbing medication and various forms of anesthesia. Dr. Khan and his staff will do everything they can to help you relax and feel comfortable during the entire process.

As people age, their eyelids often become stretched as the muscles supporting the area get weaker. This issue can lead to fat gathering around the eyelids, bags under the eyes, saggy eyebrows, and droopy upper lids.

Many people get this surgery to make changes to their appearance or because the condition has led to vision issues.

You should consider blepharoplasty if:

• Sagging eyelids make it difficult to open your eyes.
• You're having vision problems because of drooping upper eyelids.
• You want to look younger.
