Blepharoplasty
Conveniently located to serve St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, and Clearwater.
Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Overview
Depending on your particular needs and concerns, Dr. Anthony may recommend lower eyelid surgery, upper eyelid surgery, or both:
Lower Eyelid Surgery
A lower blepharoplasty is designed to improve the look of the lower eyelids by addressing issues such as puffiness, under-eye bags, and wrinkles. It can significantly reduce signs of aging and fatigue under the eyes, giving patients a refreshed appearance.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
An upper blepharoplasty is aimed at removing excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids, as well as potentially tightening the underlying muscle tissue. The goal of this procedure is often cosmetic, addressing issues such as drooping eyelids and hooding, which can make the eyes look tired. However, an upper eyelid lift can also provide functional benefits by correcting sagging skin that impairs vision.
Combining Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Upper and lower eyelid lifts are frequently performed together to achieve a fully rejuvenated eye appearance. This combined approach not only saves time and minimizes recovery periods compared to undergoing separate surgeries, but also provides a harmonious, youthful effect that enhances the entire eye area. Dr. Anthony is highly skilled in this dual-procedure approach, ensuring his patients receive personalized, high-quality care.
Blepharoplasty With Facelift for Full Facial Rejuvenation
While blepharoplasty is focused on refining the delicate eye area by removing excess skin and reducing puffiness, a facelift addresses sagging skin and wrinkles across the lower face and neck. Together, these procedures create a more youthful and smoother look that harmonizes the upper and lower parts of the face, achieving a balanced, natural enhancement.
Dr. Anthony specializes in creating personalized treatment plans for patients interested in eyelid surgery, facelifts, and other facial plastic surgery techniques. He ensures that each procedure complements the other. With his expertise, patients benefit from a unified appearance with minimized recovery times and long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Good Candidates for Blepharoplasty
Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are generally healthy individuals who are bothered by the appearance of droopy or sagging eyelids, puffiness, or excess skin that impairs their vision. People who are non-smokers, have realistic expectations, and are not dealing with any serious eye conditions are the best candidates for this procedure.
Results and Recovery
After blepharoplasty surgery, patients can expect mild swelling and bruising around the eyes, which typically subsides within one to two weeks. It’s important to follow Dr. Anthony’s aftercare instructions, which may include using cold compresses, keeping the head elevated, and avoiding strenuous activities until otherwise directed.
Patients can generally expect to see the full results of their blepharoplasty within a few weeks as any residual swelling and bruising gradually subside. The effects of an eyelid lift are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits for many years. Maintaining healthy skincare and lifestyle habits can also help extend the longevity of the results.
