Blepharoplasty in Pittsfield, MA

What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?

As a natural part of the aging process, skin begins to lose elasticity; when this happens around the eyes, drooping and sagging can occur.

Blepharoplasty was designed to address these issues specifically. By removing under-eye bags and correcting sagging in the upper eyelids, blepharoplasty can fully rejuvenate the eye area. Leaving patients looking younger, refreshed, and more alert.

Pittsfield residents will be delighted that this procedure is available at The Williams Center, approximately 60 minutes away.

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty: What’s the Difference?

Whether you are having blepharoplasty performed on your upper, lower, or both eyelids will impact the technique required.

Upper Blepharoplasty 

• Can address droopy, hooded upper eyelids. 
• The surgery involves making small incisions to remove excess skin and fat, which are made in the crease of your upper eyelid. 
• The procedure aims to lift and tighten the upper eye area. 
• In some cases, upper blepharoplasty may be required for medical reasons such as impaired vision.  

We recommend you contact your insurer to confirm whether your policy will cover the procedure and to obtain pre-approval. 

As the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, patients can often go home the same day and have an expected recovery time of one to two weeks.

Lower blepharoplasty 

• Can treat under-eye bags and puffiness, and is a purely cosmetic procedure.
•  Anesthesia is used during this surgery, and the incisions are made inside your lower eyelid to remove the excess skin and fat.  
• Recovery time is slightly longer and can take a few weeks.

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.”
