Get rid of drooping eyelids and revitalize your appearance
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that addresses the signs of aging that affect the eyes. Whether you’re dissatisfied with the shape or appearance of your eyes, or have noticed changes as a result of the natural aging process, Dr. Kitto can improve the appearance of your upper and/or lower eyelids.
Best Candidates
Blepharoplasty is for patients who are bothered by drooping eyelid skin, bags under the eyes, and fat deposits that cause them to appear older than their age. Candidates for this surgery should be in good physical condition and don’t have serious eye problems.
I have no apparent scar under my eye because of Dr. Kitto’s expertise. I highly recommend Dr. Kitto for all your plastic surgery needs. I have recommended her to my dermatologist, my PCP, and the wellness nurses at Brandermill Woods.

The procedure
We apply local anesthesia prior to the surgery. Patients may choose to have this procedure on either their upper or lower eyelids, or both. Dr. Kitto will make an incision along the natural crease of the eyelids to remove excess skin and fat deposits, making the eye look younger and refreshed.
Recovery process
Blepharoplasty generally requires a week or so to heal. Common side effects may include bruising, irritation, swelling, and in some cases dry eyes. The side effects are usually mild and temporary, and can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications and ointments.
My confidence is back. Of all the things that Dr. Kitto fixed on me, I think repairing my self-image was the most important.
