Ptosis surgery and upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery are the most common reconstructive surgeries performed by Drs. Anderson and McCann.

Some patients have enough extra skin and fat in the upper eyelids or enough drooping of the upper eyelids that it blocks a portion of the peripheral vision. This can cause problems keeping the eyelids open when driving a car or when reading. In these cases, upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery to remove the excess skin and fat or ptosis surgery to tighten the droopy eyelid muscle may improve the peripheral vision. If your eyelids are blocking your peripheral vision, the Center for Facial Appearances will work on your behalf to get the surgery authorized by your insurance company.

It is also common for patients to have cosmetic lower eyelid surgery and cosmetic eyebrow or forehead lift surgery performed simultaneous with the reconstructive upper eyelid surgery. At the Center for Facial Appearances we find that patients who choose procedures that improve both form and function are the happiest with their post-operative result.
