Considering blepharoplasty in Binghamton, NY? The Williams Center in Latham, NY, is a trusted destination for patients seeking eyelid surgery to refresh and restore the appearance of their eyes. Led by Dr. Edwin Williams, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, The Williams Center specializes in upper and lower blepharoplasty with natural-looking results and minimal downtime.
What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery, is a facial rejuvenation procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and puffiness from the upper or lower eyelids. This treatment helps reduce signs of aging, eliminate under-eye bags, and correct drooping lids that may impair vision or create a tired appearance.
Whether performed for cosmetic or functional reasons, blepharoplasty can dramatically improve facial harmony by restoring a youthful, alert look to the eyes.
Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery
At The Williams Center, we offer both upper and lower blepharoplasty, tailored to your individual needs:
Upper Blepharoplasty
- Treats sagging or hooded upper eyelids
- Involves a small incision along the natural eyelid crease
- May be medically necessary if vision is obstructed
Lower Blepharoplasty
- Targets under-eye bags and puffiness
- Typically uses a hidden incision inside the lower eyelid
- Purely cosmetic with subtle, rejuvenating effects
Most patients return home the same day, and recovery time ranges from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the procedure.
Who is a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?
You may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Experience concerns such as:
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Drooping upper lids
- Loose or excess skin around the eyes
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Do not have serious eye conditions
- Have realistic expectations
Dr. Williams’ in-office “Silver Technique” allows for rapid recovery and excellent outcomes with minimal disruption to your routine.

Testimonials
“I AM SO GLAD I DID THIS PROCEDURE”
“Every morning when I looked at myself in the mirror, it looked as though I had absolutely no sleep at all. The bags under my eyes were horrible and have bothered me for more years than I can remember. Time after time I was hearing from others that I looked tired so I finally made a decision to take care of it. I scheduled an upper and lower blepharoplasty and what a difference it made. Now I feel better about my appearance and have not had any “you look tired” comments since. The procedure was quick and easy with just a short healing time. I am so glad I did this procedure and couldn’t be happier with the work of Dr. Williams and his staff at the Williams Center.”
