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.

Elite MD Reviews
Beautiful & aesthetically pleasing breast augmentation results - After having 4 beautiful children, whom I proudly breast fed for 14 months each, I wanted to do something for myself. I went in with pseudo ptosis. I would have ordinarily required a lift in addition to the augmentation. Dr. Bansal was able to preform beautiful and aesthetically pleasing results. Dr. Bansal is brilliant and has an artistic eye that is second to none! His pre op prep work drastically decreased swelling and bruising. His prompt follow up and awesome staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
After years of wanting a neck lift, I decided to take the leap of faith and get a mini face lift and an upper and lower blepharoplasty. I was nervous about the procedure but was quickly put at ease after talking with the staff at Elite. Dr. House had the honor of doing my procedure and I am so pleased with the results. I could see an improvement in just a few weeks, I look the same, only better and it continued to improve. The results are very natural. The staff was always there to answer any questions or concerns I had, and I can be a pest and they checked up on me regularly. I can't say enough good things Dr. House and the staff at Elite and thank them for making me look like I feel.
I’m 3 months out from having upper blepharoplasty and I couldn’t be more happier. Being ethnic. I was impressed to note there were no visible scars after 2 months. The results are amazing. Highly recommend Elite MD

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.
