Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Look More Rested, Not Different
Blepharoplasty in Winston-Salem, NC
The skin around your eyes is often the first to show signs of aging—puffiness, sagging, or
heaviness that can make you look more tired or older than you feel.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a precise procedure that removes or repositions excess skin and fat in the upper and/or lower eyelids, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed and alert appearance.
At Forsyth Plastic Surgery, our goal isn’t to change how you look. It’s to help you look more like you—on a well-rested day.

Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery
Upper Eyelid Surgery
– Removes excess, drooping skin that may interfere with vision or makeup application
– May improve peripheral vision if sagging is severe
– Often chosen for functional as well as cosmetic reasons
Lower Eyelid Surgery
– Targets puffiness or “bags” under the eyes caused by fat pads or skin laxity
– Can include skin tightening, fat repositioning, or both
– Improves a tired or shadowed look under the eyes
Many patients choose one or both procedures depending on their anatomy and goals. We’ll help you decide what’s best during your consult.
What to Expect
Your Consultation
We’ll discuss your goals, assess your eyelid structure, and determine whether upper, lower, or combined eyelid surgery is right for you. We’ll also explain incision placement, downtime, and healing timelines.
Surgery & Recovery
– Performed at our accredited on-site surgery center
– Outpatient procedure; typically 1–2 hours, with local anesthesia
– Incisions are hidden in natural creases or just beneath the lash line
– Most patients return to social activity within 7–10 days
– Swelling and bruising gradually fade over 2–3 weeks
Results are visible as early as 1–2 weeks and continue to refine as swelling resolves.

Common Questions
Will I look like a different person?
No. Our goal is for you to look refreshed — not altered. Most people say they look more awake, not “done.”
Does eyelid surgery help with vision?
Yes — especially upper eyelid surgery, which can improve peripheral vision when sagging skin hangs over the lashes.
Will there be scars?
Incisions are placed in natural creases and fade very well over time. We’ll guide you on
aftercare and scar protection.
Can this be combined with other procedures?
Yes — it’s often combined with brow lift, face lift, or non-surgical treatments for full-face
rejuvenation.
