Are your eyes saying you’re tired—even when you’re full of energy? At ESJ Aesthetics in Dunwoody, Georgia, we understand how the delicate area around the eyes can dramatically affect your appearance. As an Atlanta facial plastic surgery expert, Dr. Earl Stephenson offers tailored solutions for men and women looking to refresh their look with eyelid surgery.
Dr. Stephenson is uniquely qualified with dual training in both plastic surgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery, giving him unparalleled insight into both the structural and aesthetic elements of facial rejuvenation.
What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. The goal is not to change how you look, but to restore the rested, alert version of yourself. Whether you struggle with sagging upper eyelids, puffy bags under your eyes, or both—blepharoplasty can be a life-changing solution.
At our plastic surgery center in Dunwoody, we offer:
- Upper eyelid surgery to lift droopy lids and improve vision or appearance
- Lower eyelid surgery to smooth bags and restore youthful contours
- Combination eyelid rejuvenation for full-eye transformation
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may benefit from eyelid surgery if:
- You have excess skin causing a “hooded” appearance
- You see puffiness or bags that don’t improve with skincare
- You look tired even when you’re well rested
- You want a more youthful and alert look without changing your identity
We see patients from all over Dunwoody and Sandy Springs, Georgia, who are ready to invest in themselves—and their confidence.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Options
Not everyone needs surgery. Dr. Stephenson offers a range of non-surgical eyelid rejuvenation treatments for early signs of aging:
- CO2 laser skin resurfacing for crepey eyelid skin
- Neurotoxin (Botox) to gently lift brows and open the eyes
- Filler for under-eye hollowing and tear trough correction
Every patient receives a personalized plan—whether surgical or non-invasive.
The Recovery Process: What to Expect
Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort and a recovery timeline most find manageable:
- Days 1–3: Mild swelling and bruising; keep head elevated
- Day 5–7: Stitches removed; swelling decreases
- Week 2: Return to work, makeup can usually be worn
- Month 1+: Results continue to improve; eyes look naturally refreshed
