Improve the appearance of your eyes and the skin surrounding them with eyelid surgery!
Aging Weight loss Excessive fat deposition Genetics
Eyelid surgery, also known as a blepharoplasty, repairs droopy, sagging eyelids by removing excess skin. Some people have eyelid surgery to correct problems that are a result of ageing, while others have inherited traits such as bags under their eyes that cause them to seek treatment at a younger age.
If the upper eyelid condition is accompanied by sagging of the eyebrows, then a forehead (brow) lift may be recommended. Your plastic surgeon may also recommend:
- Smoothing of crow’s feet which may require Botox, chemical peeling or laser resurfacing procedures.
- Treating circles beneath the eyes caused by dark pigmentation with a bleaching solution or chemical peel.
- Fat grafting or a mid-facelift for sinking around the bony orbit below the eye
There are two different approaches to lower lid surgery. One uses an external incision and the other is performed from inside the lower lid. The approach taken will be determined depending on the results of your assessment.

The Ideal Candidate for Eyelid Surgery
Your age and the extent of the fatty deposits you have will determine which type of lid surgery and approach is best for you. High blood pressure, thyroid problems, or diabetes are some of the conditions that can increase the risks during eyelid surgery. Your plastic surgeon will ask if you have allergies or if you have been told that you have “dry eye” or any other eye problems. The best way to find out is to book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a personalized assessment.
Eyelid Surgery Cost
At the Barrie Plastic Surgery Clinic, upper eyelid surgery under local anesthetic will cost around $3,000. Upper and lower eyelid surgery under general anesthetic will cost around $9,000.
