Eyelid rejuvenation, also known as blepharoplasty, is one of the most common cosmetic procedures today. This surgery involves carefully removing excess skin and tissue from the upper eyelids to create a refreshed and more awakened appearance. When the lower eyelids are addressed, the procedure can help smooth out wrinkles and reduce puffiness or under-eye bags. In some cases, fat may be strategically added to restore volume to hollow areas. Dr. Demianczuk evaluates each patient’s needs to recommend upper, lower, or combined eyelid correction for optimal results.

Upper Eyelid Surgery
For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is placed within the natural fold of the eyelid. Through this incision, excess skin and tissue are removed, and occasionally, a small portion of muscle is trimmed to enhance the contour. Once closed, the incision is well-hidden within the crease of the eyelid, making any scarring unnoticeable.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
In lower eyelid surgery, the incision may be made just below the lash line or inside the lower lid itself. The external approach allows for skin tightening, while the internal, or transconjunctival, technique is ideal for patients with puffiness but good skin elasticity. This approach avoids external scars. For patients with hollows or dark circles beneath the eyes, small amounts of the patient’s own fat may be used to restore lost volume and create a smoother transition between the lower lid and cheek.
What to Expect from Surgery
Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia and light sedation at a fully accredited surgical center. Surgery on both upper and lower eyelids usually takes about two hours. Afterward, swelling and bruising are common. Patients should keep their heads elevated, use cold compresses, and apply the prescribed medications to support the healing process.
Pricing Information
The price of eyelid surgery varies depending on whether the upper lids, lower lids, or both are treated. On average, patients who undergo surgery on both the upper and lower eyelids can expect the total cost to fall between $9,000 and $10,000.

Book a Consultation“Two dear friends recommended that I see Dr. D for my upper and lower eye-lift (and they know a lot of plastic surgeons). So, Dr. D preformed my surgery. He is conservative, and I went back to see him so he could “tweak” my eyelids a bit. They look great and so natural (the scars are barely visible). Now, I’m considering a face lift. If I go ahead I will certainly have him do it. He is not only very skilled, he is a nice man as well. His conservative approach suited my style.”
