Testimonial: “Dr Leong was fantastic! He completed my otoplasty this past summer. He was so attentive to detail and worked so hard to make my ears look natural. He personally called me after my surgery to check on me after I got home. He was so thorough and always took his time to answer all my questions.” – B.J.”
Aging around the eyes is unmistakable as it negatively impacts the smile and the youthfulness of the other features. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) with Dr. Leong in Morgantown WV can help mitigate drooping, unattractive upper lids while removing excess skin and fat from the lower lids. The result is a complete revitalization of the upper face, restoring your self-confidence and self-image.
What is eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery is performed on both the upper and lower lids. For upper blepharoplasty, the incisions are hidden in the natural eyelid creases, while for lower blepharoplasty, the incisions are hidden within the lower lashline. Through these tiny incisions, Dr. Leong is able to remove excess fat and skin, enlivening your facial expression and rolling back the clock on the aging process. Often Dr. Leong will combine eyelid surgery with a brow lift to ensure the entire upper face is rejuvenated.
