Voted Open your eyes and turn back time with blepharoplasty in DC
Our eyes are one of the most prominent features on our face. As we age, we start to notice skin laxity affecting their youthful appearance. This looseness can cause the eyelid to droop down, distorting our natural eye shape and making us look older. Eyelid surgery, known as a blepharoplasty procedure, removes excess skin to bring back your bigger, younger looking eyes
What is a blepharoplasty?
A blepharoplasty is a procedure popular for removing under-eye puffiness, drooping lids, and wrinkles, reversing the signs of aging around the eyelid and surrounding areas. At Bruno | Brown, we consider the overall harmony of your facial features, rather than focusing on one area in isolation. Your doctor will consult with you to determine which areas to target to achieve the best appearance for your eyes. Sometimes this can mean considering a brow lift or facelift instead of an eyelid lift.
Here are some considerations you might discuss during your consultation:
- Upper blepharoplasty in DC: focuses on the upper eyelid
- Lower blepharoplasty in DC: focuses on the lower eyelid
- Vision difficulties caused by drooping eyelids
- Undereye puffiness
- Lifestyle
- Whether or not to consider adding a browpexy
What should you expect from a blepharoplasty in DC?
Eyelid surgery in Washington, DC offers a number of benefits for little recovery time. Some of these benefits include:
- An overall more youthful appearance
- Decreasing puffiness under the eyes
- Lifting the appearance of hollows and brightening the appearance of dark patches under the eyes
- Smoothing the skin around the eyes

The procedure itself is a very common procedure that has been done countless times by our doctors for years and years. Their experience and commitment to using innovative technology and techniques will give you the best possible results. Here are some things to expect from the procedure:
