Who Can Perform Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery?

Choosing a Cosmetic Eyelid Surgeon
Patients often ask me about the different types of surgeons who can perform cosmetic eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. There can be some confusion, but most eyelid surgery specialists would advise that when choosing a surgeon to perform eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, look for a facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in the orbit and tear drainage system, with extensive training in ophthalmic plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic eye surgeons, who are trained and experienced in surgery for both the eye itself and the surrounding delicate eyelid tissues-and who are knowledgeable about the aesthetics of how to help patients look their best, are a sound choice for cosmetic eyelid surgery for puffy, droopy, saggy tired looking eyes.


If you or someone you know would like to learn more about blepharoplasty eyelid surgery, please schedule a consultation with Cosmetic Eye Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Gregory Hofeldt, M.D. by calling Center for Sight at 508-730-2020.
