A more relaxed, youthful facial expression with blepharoplasty
One of the most common complaints during the aging process is appearing tired, even when well-rested. Puffy eyelids, bags around the eyes and heavy lids can negatively impact one’s confidence, and can even sometimes affect vision.
These flaws, however, can be corrected with a simple surgical procedure known as a blepharoplasty. Eyelid surgery is a corrective procedure that tightens the excess skin and fat around the delicate eye area.
At our on-site state-of-the-art and fully accredited surgical suite, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kiran Gill performs eyelid surgery in Naples, FL and will carefully customize your treatment to restore a youthful look.
Advantages of Eyelid Surgery
The delicate skin around the eyes is one of the first areas where we notice the signs of aging. If you are genetically predisposed to developing droopy eyelids or developing fat around the eyes, you may notice the crease of the upper lid disappear or your eyes start to look smaller. Our eyelid surgery can correct these flaws with a very small incision.
Some common benefits of eyelid surgery include…
- Reduction of under eye bags, fatty skin, sagging and puffy lids
- Removal of excess skin around the eyes
- Removal of excess fat around the eyes
- Improvement in vision
- A more pleasant, friendly facial expression
- A more youthful aesthetic overall
- Improved confidence in one’s image
- Minimally-invasive
- Long-lasting, sustainable outcome
- Natural-looking results
- Excellent complement to a facelift or neck lift
- Can be well combined with dermal fillers and injectables

Determining Your Candidacy for Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is ideal for both men and women who want to rejuvenate their look. It can be performed in conjunction with a facelift, a brow lift, and other facial rejuvenation procedures for even better results. It’s fairly easy to cover up any scars from the incision with makeup and most patients find the incision scars heal and disappear fairly quickly.
You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you:
- Have noticed your eyes are starting to droop or look tired
- Are tired of trying to hide bags and puffy eyelids
- Want to look a few years younger
- Cannot achieve your desired results with minimally-invasive treatments
- Are roughly between 40 and 65
- Are in good health, both physically and psychologically
- Are free from any major medical conditions that would interfere with your treatment
- Are a non-smoker, or are willing to quit prior to surgery
- Are willing to follow Dr. Gill’s instructions both before and after surgery
- Have realistic expectations for your surgical outcome
What can I expect from my eyelid surgery?
Dr. Gill’s eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the extent of surgery and any other surgical procedures that we may be performing at the same time.
Dr. Gill makes a very small incision inside the lower lid or upper lid to remove excess skin, muscle tissue, and fat. The skin is tightened and sutured into its new position to create a very natural-looking result.
A Personalized Eyelid Surgery Consultation
Your surgeon, Dr. Kiran Gill, will use this initial session to examine your eyes and ask you about your goals for improvement. They will perform a thorough review of your medical and cosmetic records and jot down any medications you may currently be taking. They will then take the time to answer all your questions about the procedure. These may include topics such as risks of the surgery, and what you can expect from your recovery.
If there are any other facial rejuvenation procedures that are of interest to you, such as facelift, brow lift, neck lift, laser skin resurfacing or treatment with dermal fillers, Dr. Gillwill be happy to discuss these options with you during your consultation as well.
