A Beautiful New Look
The eyes tend to show age before the rest of the face catches up. A heavy upper lid can make you look tired. Puffy bags under the lower eyelid can make sleep, skincare, and concealer feel useless.
At Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery, blepharoplasty in Ashburn, VA, is strategically planned. Our board-certified plastic surgeons focus on creating brighter, more balanced eyes, and a more rested appearance without changing the shape that still feels like you.

Cleaner, Brighter Eyes
Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and tissue from the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both. Upper eyelid surgery can improve hooding and heaviness, while lower eyelid surgery can smooth puffy bags, bulges, and tired-looking under-eyes.
Blepharoplasty surgery may be cosmetic, functional, or both. In some patients, extra upper eyelid skin can impair vision or peripheral vision, while others simply want a fresher appearance around the eyes with minimal visible change elsewhere.
The Tired-Eye Problem
Eyelid surgery treats visible changes around the upper and lower eyelids that make the face look tired, aged, or less alert.
It may address:
What areas can Blepharoplasty treat?
Upper eyelid surgery treats excess skin and fullness above the eye. The incision is placed in the natural crease so scars can hide well once healed.
Lower eyelid surgery treats puffy bags, fat bulges, loose skin, and lower lid irregularity. Incisions may sit inside the eyelid or near the lash line.
Blepharoplasty can make the eyes look more open and rested while keeping the rest of the face natural.
Benefits may include:
Good Timing is Important
A good candidate for blepharoplasty is in good health, has realistic expectations, and wants to correct excess skin, puffiness, drooping, or lid heaviness.
Eyelid surgery may need to wait if you have uncontrolled medical conditions, certain eye disorders, active smoking, poor skin elasticity, or expectations that surgery cannot meet. A brow lift may be a better option if the issue comes from brow position instead of the eyelid.
Getting Ready
Before blepharoplasty, you’ll complete a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons to review your medications, supplements, medical history, and surgical plan.
You will be asked to stop using nicotine, adjust certain medications,arrange transportation home after surgery, and a support person to care for you as you heal. Prepare simple recovery items like cold compresses and easy meals. You should also plan time away from work and social events, then follow all instructions for pain medication, wound care, and activity limits.
Precise Eyelid Work
Blepharoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure. Depending on the plan, eyelid surgery may be performed with local anesthesia and sedation or another anesthesia approach.
Patients may feel tightness, pressure, or mild discomfort afterward. Pain is usually manageable with the instructions and medications provided.
Back to Daily Life in No Time
Swelling, bruising, tightness, and visible discoloration are normal after eyelid surgery. The eye area can look worse before it looks better.
Most patients plan about one week before returning to work or low-key public plans. Bruising may still be visible.
Avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Keep your head elevated and avoid bending or heavy lifting early on.
Bruising and swelling improve over the first one to three weeks. Final refinement can take three to six months.
Use cold compresses as directed, sleep with your head elevated, protect your eyes from sun, and wait for clearance before wearing makeup.
The Slow Reveal
You may notice a lighter eye area once early swelling improves. The final outcome takes longer because eyelid skin settles in stages.
How long do results last?
Blepharoplasty results can last for many years. Aging continues, but removed excess skin and refined fat do not return in the same way. Sun protection, skincare, and avoiding smoking can help preserve the result.
Practically Invisible
Blepharoplasty scars are usually minimal because eyelid skin heals well. Upper eyelid scars sit in the natural crease. Lower eyelid scars may be hidden inside the lid or placed near the lash line. Scars fade over time with proper care.
Option - Best For:
Multiple Procedures One Recovery
Blepharoplasty may be combined with a brow lift, facelift, laser skin resurfacing, Botox, or other facial treatments. The right combination depends on whether the concern comes from eyelid skin, brow position, wrinkles, or overall facial aging.

Yes, if excess upper eyelid skin hangs low enough to block peripheral vision. Your surgeon can determine whether your concern is functional, cosmetic, or both.
Most patients describe tightness, soreness, or mild discomfort rather than intense pain. Medication, cold compresses, and head elevation help during early recovery.
Lower eyelid surgery can reduce puffy bags caused by fat bulges or loose lower lid tissue. If puffiness comes from allergies, fluid retention, or skin quality, other treatments may also be discussed.
You will need to wait until the incisions have healed enough and your surgeon clears you. Wearing makeup too early can irritate the incision or increase the risk of infection.
Results last for years, but aging continues. Skin quality, sun exposure, genetics, and smoking can affect how the eyelids change over time.
