Reviving the Smile with a Rejuvenating Blepharoplasty in Vancouver, WA

The eyes are one of the places in the body where aging is most pronounced and noticeable. When we first meet someone, we tend to look them directly in the eyes and create our first impression based on what we see there.

When the eyelids sag, droop and puff up, it can telegraph a feeling of anger, sadness or exhaustion, emotions that may not necessarily be authentic. Wrinkling and discoloration in the eyes can also detract from an otherwise winning smile. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure to help restore a youthful, refreshed aesthetic to the eyes in both the lower and upper lids.

It can help combat bags under the eyes and address excess fat, tissue, and skin that may even be impairing vision. Dr. Gabriel will tailor your procedure to your unique needs, focusing on the most problematic areas. Scars will be well hidden within the upper eyelid creases and the lower lash lines. Not only is Dr. Gabriel a skilled and seasoned veteran of cutting edge blepharoplasty techniques, he is also an artist who can create nuanced, natural-looking results you will be pleased with for years to come, giving you arguably the best results in eyelid surgery Vancouver, WA has to offer.
