Blepharoplasty in Danville, CA
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Many consider their eyes to be their most captivating feature, but sagging skin in the eye area can overshadow this natural allure, often resulting in a weary or displeased appearance. At Elite MD, our plastic surgeons perform eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, carefully lifting and refining the skin around the upper or lower eyelids to restore that bright, engaging look. This procedure delicately reshapes the eye area, yielding a rejuvenated and youthful expression with subtle yet impactful enhancements. If you are interested in refreshing your eyes by removing excess skin, schedule a consultation at our office in Danville, CA.
How Does Blepharoplasty Work?
Depending on the complexity of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be provided. This procedure may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom eyelid, or a blend of both eyelids.
- Upper: Upper eyelid surgery assists in decreasing the hanging of skin that droops over the eye to create a more flattering look. The incision point is often placed along the lash line or crease to trim away loose skin and fatty tissue.
- Lower: Eyelid correction on the lower lid is performed to improve puffy and bulging skin under the lower lid. In most cases, an incision is placed just under the lash line to remove fatty tissue surgically, and the skin is gently lifted to allow for a flatter, smoother look. Sometimes, a nonsurgical laser procedure may be applied to help with discoloration while fillers can be used for more smoothness if desired.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
A customized eyelid lift at our Danville, CA office can provide both functional and aesthetic improvements with benefits that include:
- Improving the contour and look of the eyes

- Extending eyesight by improving line of vision

Blepharoplasty Reviews
I'm 3 months post op from blepharoplasty and I couldn't be more happier. I've been wanting to get this procedure done for awhile. Being ethnic I was impressed to note there were no visible scars after 2 months....Thank you Dr. House. The results are amazing. Highly recommend Elite MD.
i went to Elite MD for fillers for my face and under my eyes due to hollowness, and also got lip fillers . I was so lucky and fortunate to have Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal do the proceedure . There's no question that having a professional and experienced practioner like Dr. Bansal who absolutely addressed the concerns I have about the loss of volume in my face and underneath my eyes . I am so thankful and happy with my results and highly recommend Elite MD MedSpa and Plastic Surgery center for facial rejuvination / fillers . This place is so amazing . Staff are also wonderful, friendly and professional. 5 stars for Elite MD!
Had upper eyelid surgery done last month and had a great experience. Highly recommend Dr. House, Dr. Bansal and the entire team at Elite MD for their quality patient care. They take the time to answer questions and address all concerns. Will definitely consider Elite for other procedures in the future. Thanks!
Had the upper eyelid surgery done by Dr. House and couldn’t be more happy with the results! The procedure was quick and recovery was a breeze. The entire Elite MD was super caring in their pre- and post ops follow ups. Thanks for the great experience!
I am ready to dress this new body and continue to live life to the fullest! - Where do I begin? The vision I had for myself was turned into a reality with Elite MD. I’ve undergone two procedures with them, an eyelid lift and tummy tuck. Two decisions I do not regret! From the beginning, my experience with Elite MD has been nothing but positive. My first procedure was an eyelid lift as it impacted my vision. Needless to say, I am very happy with my results. No longer do I look as if I’m always in great thought!My biggest transformation has come from my tummy tuck with Dr. Bansal. He and his staff made me feel like family. As a seasoned, woman of color, not only was my outward appearance addressed, but my overall health (mind included) was a factor. It was also comforting to know my physician has knowledge and concern for patients with ethnic skin.My tummy tuck was on 12/17/2024 and I’m loving what I see. Dr. Bansal expressed my results will not solely come from him. Having a positive mind and healthy eating habits are also factors. I have found this to be true. Even my husband took heed to what Dr. Bansal said and has made changes to his eating habits. I can honestly say I have a great team behind me!Words cannot express how grateful I am to have undergone my transformation with Elite MD. The care and attention to detail are truly one of a kind. I am excited for the day when I’ve fully recovered. I am ready to dress this new body and continue to live life to the fullest!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
If hanging skin affects your sight, your health insurance may cover some of your blepharoplasty. Please tell Dr. Bansal during your consultation if you might be using your insurance. Someone at Elite MD will help you get the needed information and paperwork for your insurance company to consider your claim. Generally, you will need a letter from an optometrist or ophthalmologist stating that an eyelid lift is medically necessary to improve your vision.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Forehead wrinkles and crow's feet may be better addressed with a facelift or brow lift as the results of the blepharoplasty are limited to the upper or lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery may also be combined with a nonsurgical treatment such as BOTOX, which can smooth wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. An injectable filler may also be effective because it adds volume for a smoother appearance. During your initial consultation, Dr. Bansal will create your custom treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Nonsurgical skin tightening plus injectable wrinkle treatments (like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and BOTOX®) may give you some improvements. However, eyelid surgery is better for your needs if you want to fix moderate to severe sagging skin or want long-lasting results. After you tell Dr. Bansal about your needs and goals for your eyes, he will give you his recommendations for your surgical or nonsurgical treatment plan. He might also recommend combining both nonsurgical and surgical procedures for your best results.
