Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

ARC Plastic Surgery offers upper, lower, and bilateral blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Jeremy White in Aventura, Miami. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat causing hooding, while lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags and hollows. The transconjunctival approach for lower lids leaves no visible external scar. Combined upper and lower procedures are priced at $5,000–$7,000. Recovery is approximately ten days, with contacts and makeup avoided for two weeks.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) at ARC Plastic Surgery in Aventura, Florida addresses both functional and cosmetic concerns around the eyes. Dr. Jeremy White — double board-certified in Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology — brings a particularly precise anatomical approach to eyelid surgery given his specialty background in head and neck structures. Upper blepharoplasty corrects drooping upper eyelids caused by excess skin, herniated fat pads, or weakened levator muscle. The incision is placed in the natural lid crease, making scars virtually invisible once healed. In some cases, hooding is severe enough to impair peripheral vision, qualifying the procedure for partial insurance reimbursement. Dr. White assesses each patient individually to determine whether a functional component exists. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and tear trough hollowing. Two approaches are available: the transcutaneous (external incision) technique for patients who also need skin removal, and the transconjunctival technique — Dr. White's preferred method for patients with good skin elasticity — where the incision is made inside the lower lid, leaving no external scar. Fat repositioning can also be performed to smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. Bilateral (both upper and lower) blepharoplasty is priced from $5,000 to $7,000 at ARC Plastic Surgery, making it competitively positioned among Miami and South Florida board-certified plastic surgeons. Recovery is straightforward: most patients return to desk work within seven to ten days, avoid contact lenses and eye makeup for two weeks, and see final results within six to eight weeks. Virtual consultations are available for patients considering travelling from across South Florida, the Gold Coast, or further afield.
