WHY WOULD SOMEONE GET EYELID SURGERY OR A BROW LIFT?
If you’re bothered by a heavy brow, tired-looking eyes, or under-eye bags, a rejuvenation surgery can help. You might consider this procedure if you:
- Notice Excess Skin on Your Eyelids that makes applying makeup difficult or obstructs your vision.
- Have a Drooping Brow that creates a “hooded” appearance and adds years to your face.
- Feel Self-Conscious About Under-Eye Puffiness that makes you look tired even when you’re well-rested.
- Want to Look More Refreshed and Vibrant and feel more confident in your appearance.
- Desire a More Open and Alert Look to enhance your overall facial expression.
Dr. Aycock understands these concerns firsthand, having undergone upper eyelid surgery herself. She brings a unique level of empathy and expertise to your care, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout your rejuvenation journey.
BENEFITS OF UPPER FACE REJUVENATION
Look More Rested and Vibrant
Time can etch lines and sags that don’t reflect your vibrant spirit. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a face that matches your inner vitality—a refreshed, youthful appearance that radiates confidence and energy, allowing your true self to shine through.
Brighter, More Open Eyes
Your eyes should sparkle with life, not be hidden behind sagging lids that make applying mascara a daily struggle. Picture your gaze becoming more inviting, your eyes appearing more alert and engaged, and makeup application becoming effortless. Feel the renewed confidence that comes with knowing your eyes reflect your inner vibrancy and openness to the world.
Smoother, More Defined Brow Line
A heavy brow can cast a shadow over your entire face, making you appear burdened or aged. Envision a lifted brow that opens up your features, creating a more youthful and approachable expression.
Reduced Under-Eye Puffiness and Bags
Your eyes are the windows to your emotions, and signs of aging like puffiness and dark circles can misrepresent how you truly feel. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a reflection that matches your inner energy—a refreshed, bright-eyed appearance that conveys vitality and approachability, instead of a tired or weary look.
HOW IS AN EYELID SURGERY OR BROW LIFT PERFORMED?
An Upper Face Rejuvenation is a personalized surgical plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Aycock will assess your brow and eyelid areas, discussing the most appropriate procedures to achieve your desired results.
For a brow lift, Dr. Aycock will make incisions strategically placed to minimize scarring, either along the hairline or within the hair. She will then lift and reposition the underlying tissues to create a smoother, more youthful brow line. An upper eye lift (upper blepharoplasty) is a procedure that can be done in the office with local anesthetic. The healing time is minimal and it can make a big difference in addressing a “tired” look. For blepharoplasty, incisions are also made in the natural creases of the eyelids to remove excess skin and fat.
Your well-being is Dr. Aycock’s top priority. She will provide personalized attention and care, explaining each step of the procedure, addressing any concerns, and outlining potential risks and outcomes.
Candidates for
UPPER FACE REJUVENATION
If sagging brows, excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids, or under-eye bags are impacting your confidence or vision, an eyelid and/or browlift may be a good option. Dr. Aycock will assess your individual circumstances, including skin quality and lifestyle.

“Each person has a different ideal and their own individual anatomy. I listen to you and your body to find options for beautiful and natural results.”

Botox vs. Eyelid Surgery
When considering eye area rejuvenation, Botox and eyelid surgery address different concerns. Botox temporarily relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles like crow’s feet, offering subtle, temporary improvements. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin and fat for a lasting solution to sagging lids and under-eye bags. As Dr. Aycock notes, “Botox and dermal fillers are all kind of add-ons to this, or ways to try to hold off on surgery, but surgery is the gold standard.” While Botox and fillers can complement surgery or delay it, they can’t replicate the comprehensive, lasting results of blepharoplasty.

FAQ ABOUT UPPER FACE REJUVENATION
What Causes Under Eye Bags?
Under-eye bags are primarily caused by aging, which weakens the tissue supporting the eyes, allowing fat to shift and create puffiness. Genetics can also play a role, causing bags to appear earlier in some individuals. Lifestyle factors like lack of sleep, allergies, and high salt intake can contribute as well. If lifestyle changes don’t help, lower blepharoplasty may be an option.
How Much Does Upper Face Rejuvenation Cost?
The cost of an eyelid lift varies depending on the individualized nature of the procedure, with a standard surgery under local anesthesia typically starting around $4,500. More extensive or complex cases may incur additional costs. During your comprehensive consultation, Dr. Aycock’s team will provide a precise, detailed breakdown of all fees involved and thoroughly discuss our available financing options to help make your desired outcome attainable.
Will My Vision Be Different After Eyelid Surgery?
If sagging eyelids were interfering with your side vision, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can help you see better. It doesn’t change how sharp your vision is. You might have some blurry or double vision right after surgery because of swelling, but don’t worry, it’s temporary and will get better.
Will I Look Unnatural After An Eyelid Lift?
A well-performed eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, should enhance your natural features, not create an unnatural appearance. Dr. Aycock focuses on achieving subtle, balanced results that rejuvenate your eyes while maintaining your unique characteristics. The goal is to remove excess skin and fat that contribute to a tired or aged look, restoring a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial procedures is essential to ensure natural-looking results. Dr. Aycock will discuss your goals and expectations during your consultation, creating a personalized plan that emphasizes natural enhancement and avoids an ‘overdone’ look.
