Blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-ro-plas-tee) also known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical correction, which addresses the natural aging process of the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure can be used to eliminate the “hooded or drooping” appearance in the upper eyelids or the “saggy-baggy” puffy skin of the lower eyes. Eyelid surgery as performed at Allure Laser Center and MediSpa in Kirkland WA can wipe away some of the signs of aging leaving your appearance not only enhanced, but also brightened.
Drooping eyelids can have a number of causes. heredity, chronic rubbing and sun exposure of your eyes can lead to these concerns. As you age, eyelids stretch, therefore, muscles weaken and fat gathers over and under the eyes. This may cause sagging eyebrows, drooping upper lids and those under-eye bags and dark circles that make people appear tired.
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation in our fully certified outpatient ambulatory surgery center. Patients over age 60 and/or those with a current medical condition(s) are required to have a preoperative physical examination, blood work, and EKG performed by their primary physician before surgery for anesthesia safety.

To correct a drooping upper eyelid, a delicate incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid. Excess skin and fat are then removed. The incision is typically closed with a dissolving suture that is finer than a human hair.
In lower eyelid surgery, a tiny incision is made just below the lashes in the eye’s natural crease or inside the lower lid itself. Our surgeons Dr. LauKaitis or Dr. Sires are then able to remove excess skin and fat pockets. Stitches may be needed if an external incision is made. In cases where the patient has good skin tone, the surgery may be performed from inside the lid and no external skin will be removed and no sutures may be required.
You may choose to repair the upper eyelids only, lower eyelids only, or both upper and lower lids at the same time. This procedure is frequently combined with other facial procedures such as an endoscopic brow lift, chemical peel, or laser resurfacing.
If you have been plagued with droopy eyelids or are unhappy with the eyes you see in the mirror, we recommend that you contact our office today to schedule a personalized appointment with Dr. Sires or Dr. LauKaitis to determine if you are a good candidate for eyelid surgery for the enhancement of your eyes and overall appearance.
