What Is Blepharoplasty?
Your eyes are among your most beautiful features, so it's a shame when people can't see them due to excess skin around the eyelids. Not only can drooping skin give you a more tired appearance, but it can even obstruct your vision in more severe cases. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, we perform eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) for Chicago, IL women and men who want to address sagging eyelids for improved function and a more alert look. Whether you wish to target the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both, blepharoplasty can dramatically transform your appearance. To discover how eyelid surgery can change your aesthetic, schedule a consultation at our plastic surgery practice in Chicago, IL.
How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Eyelid surgery is performed in-office at our Chicago, IL office using either general or local anesthesia. This cosmetic procedure may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom portion, or a combination of both eyelids. Depending on your needs, you can combine your upper eyelid surgery with other aesthetic treatments for a more comprehensive transformation.
For upper blepharoplasty, we'll first make an incision along the crease of the eyelid before trimming away fat and other tissues. This approach also allows us to reposition the muscles for a tighter, more refreshed appearance.
Lower blepharoplasty typically involves an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, allowing our providers access to remove fatty tissues while lifting up the skin.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
If you are bothered by the appearance of your eyes or having vision issues related to saggy eyelids, blepharoplasty at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery may provide the answer you're looking for. The benefits of eyelid surgery include:
- Improving looseness and/or drooping skin in the lower and upper eyelids
- Improving bags in bottom lids
- Enhancing the contour and appearance of the eyes
- Producing a more awake, aware look
- Expanding vision by improving line of sight
- Decreasing discomfort by eliminating friction from skin creases
Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Over the past two years I have worked with Dr. Schierle to achieve my postpartum 'glow up' and couldn't be more thrilled with my results. Both my chin lipo and upper bleph have left me feeling refreshed, confident and more youthful. I had both procedures in office under local anesthesia and had no issues. Not only does Dr. Schierle care about the physical result of his work but he also cares deeply about how the patient feels, which I experienced first hand during my 3 and 4 month post op appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Schierle for your plastic surgery needs- he's exceptional!

Dr. Moradian is one of a kind. Not only is he a talented surgeon but he has a great bedside manner. I am very pleased with the outcome of my procedure. I recommend Dr. Moradian very highly!
Dr. Moradian is very welcoming, professional, and talented and provides excellent care. I recommend him to anybody considering cosmetic surgery.
I love how I look and feel—that is obvious, that is the stuff that shows to the world. But what Dr. Schierle and Monika Cieszynski did for me was really so much more than that. I have struggled with loose skin and a large belly my whole life. What they REALLY did for me was free up space in my mind. I cannot put accurately into words what this does to a person. I am free. I have so much gratitude and appreciation. My body is strong and looks great—but my mind—what it did for my mind is quite profound.
