The Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure
Upper and lower eyelid surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to help you maintain optimal comfort during the surgery. For the upper eyelids, Dr. Maffi places a small incision in the natural crease to remove or reposition tissue. For the lower eyelids, the incision is made below the lash line. During surgery, your fat pads are adjusted to smooth the area, and excess skin will be removed as needed. The combined procedure usually takes two to three hours and is performed on an outpatient basis.
Recovery & Results from a Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
After surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, or a feeling of tightness around the eyes. Most patients can return to normal activities within seven to ten days, although mild swelling can occur for a few weeks. You will receive detailed post-operative instructions, and our surgical team will provide support throughout your recovery. Dr. Maffi closely monitors your healing to ensure you are progressing comfortably and achieving optimal results.
The results of combined upper and lower eyelid surgery include more youthful-looking eyes and a refreshed appearance. Results are long-lasting and can be maintained with continued skin care treatments, medical grade skin care products, and a healthy lifestyle habits.
“The receptionists are awesome, kind, knowledgeable, and competent! Dr. Maffi is on time and respectful without judgment. I highly recommend Maffi Plastic Surgery.”

Contact UsWhat is Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty?
Upper and lower blepharoplasty is a combination of two procedures that address signs of aging around the eyes. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to improve sagging, while lower blepharoplasty reduces under-eye puffiness and allows for a softer appearance. When performed together, these procedures rejuvenate the entire eye area, enhancing your appearance without altering your natural expressions.
Who is a Candidate for Combined Eyelid Surgery?
You may be a strong candidate for combined upper and lower blepharoplasty if you are concerned with drooping upper lids, excess eyelid skin, persistent puffiness, or hollowness under the eyes. During your consultation at our Scottsdale office, Dr. Maffi will assess your eyelid anatomy and listen to your concerns to determine the best surgical plan for your needs.
