Eyelid Surgery in Troy, Michigan
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin and puffiness from the upper or lower eyelids to refresh tired-looking eyes, and in some cases it can improve peripheral vision.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooding and heaviness of the upper lids. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags and puffiness. Because the eyes draw so much attention, even a subtle correction can make you look noticeably more rested.
The procedure is often done under local anesthesia with sedation and has a relatively quick recovery. It pairs well with a brow lift when the heaviness starts higher up on the forehead.
Are you a good candidate?
- Hooded or heavy upper eyelids
- Under-eye bags and puffiness
- A tired look despite getting enough rest

Facial Rejuvenation questions
What is the best age for a facelift?
There is no single right age. Most facelift patients are in their 40s to 60s, but candidacy comes down to skin laxity, health, and goals rather than a number. Dr. Qasawa assesses each patient individually during consultation.
How long does facelift recovery take?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activities in about two weeks, with bruising and swelling continuing to settle over several weeks. The final result comes through as the tissues fully relax over the following months.
Is eyelid surgery covered by insurance?
Upper eyelid surgery may be partially covered when excess skin blocks your vision and this is documented with a visual-field test. Purely cosmetic eyelid surgery is not covered. Our team can help you understand your options.
How long does Botox last?
Botox and Dysport results usually last three to four months. With regular treatment, many patients find the results last a little longer over time as the treated muscles relax.
