What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyes to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. Dr. Daines performs upper and lower eyelid surgery individually or together, depending on your concerns.
Over time, the upper eyelids can develop loose, sagging skin that creates a hooded or tired appearance—and in some cases, even obstructs your vision. Upper blepharoplasty is designed to:
- Remove excess skin and fat that causes heaviness or drooping
- Create a more defined, youthful eyelid contour
- Restore alertness and symmetry to the eyes
- Improve peripheral vision if sagging skin interferes with sight
Dr. Daines takes care to preserve your natural eyelid shape while enhancing definition. He makes discreet incisions placed in the eyelid's natural crease for minimal visibility after they heal.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Puffy under-eye bags, dark circles, and crepey skin are common signs of aging that can make you look worn out or older than you are. Lower eyelid surgery addresses these concerns by:
- Removing or repositioning under-eye fat to reduce puffiness
- Tightening and smoothing sagging or wrinkled skin
- Improving contours and transitions between the eyelid and cheek
- Restoring youthful volume—sometimes with fat transfer for added softness
Dr. Daines carefully tailors each lower blepharoplasty procedure to prevent a hollow or overcorrected look and maintain a natural appearance.

Blepharoplasty FAQs
How long is the recovery after eyelid surgery?
Because blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery is relatively quick and comfortable. Watery eyes, dry eyes, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light are normal and typically resolve within a few days of surgery.
How much does eyelid surgery cost?
The cost of eyelid surgery depends on several factors, including whether you're getting upper or lower eyelid surgery, or both, the expertise and reputation of the plastic surgeon, the location of the practice, and the extent of the procedure needed to accomplish your desired results. Dr. Daines provides a customized quote at your consultation.
What's the best age to get eyelid surgery?
Adults of all ages may be good candidates for eyelid surgery. Women and men in their 20s and 30s may have inherited traits such as hooded upper eyelids or under-eye puffiness that Dr. Daines can correct with blepharoplasty.
When it comes to facial rejuvenation, training matters—and so does artistry. Dr. Steven M. Daines is a double board-certified and fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon who has devoted his entire career to mastering the complexities of facial anatomy and aesthetics.

"Dr. Daines has truly been the best surgeon, and everything I could have asked for every step of the way. Initially I had reached out to some doctors in the LA area, and was never shown the understanding, charisma, and kindness that Dr. Daines and his team offered until I met them!"
Raquel Z., 5-Star Google review
"I had an upper & lower bleph and mini brow lift with some laser. My experience from start to finish was flawless. Dr. Daines and his staff always treated me with kindness and gave me all the personal attention I needed. Dr. Daines made himself available to me for any concerns throughout the whole process.”
