Blepharoplasty at CG Cosmetic Surgery (Coral Gables Cosmetic Center) in Miami addresses the periorbital changes that are among the earliest and most visible signs of facial ageing — hooded or drooping upper eyelids caused by excess skin accumulating above the lash line (dermatochalasis), and under-eye puffiness or bags caused by herniation of the orbital fat pads through a weakening orbital septum. The clinic's team of 8 board-certified plastic surgeons with individual experience exceeding 20 years approach eyelid surgery with the precision required by the delicate periorbital anatomy, where marginal differences in tissue removal or repositioning have significant aesthetic consequences. Upper blepharoplasty removes the redundant skin from the upper eyelid through an incision carefully placed in the natural upper lid crease, which conceals the resulting scar within the fold when the eye is open. Where appropriate, a small strip of orbicularis oculi muscle and prolapsed fat from the medial fat pad may also be removed to achieve a more refined upper lid platform and reduce heaviness. In severe cases of upper lid ptosis in which the drooping is caused by levator muscle weakness rather than skin excess alone, a concurrent ptosis repair (levator resection or advancement) may be indicated. Lower blepharoplasty addresses the lower orbital fat compartments responsible for under-eye bags, using either a transconjunctival approach (incision on the inner surface of the lower lid — no visible external scar) for patients with fat excess but good skin tone, or a subciliary approach (fine incision just below the lashes) for patients with concurrent lower lid skin laxity requiring skin excision. The two procedures are frequently combined in a single session for comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation. Given the functional implications of upper lid excess — peripheral visual field obstruction that may qualify the surgery for medical insurance coverage — the clinic's surgical team is positioned to advise on documentation requirements. Free consultations and same-day financing are available.
