How Does Eyelid Surgery Help Aging Eyes?

As you grow older, the skin around your eyelids stretches, creating the impression of fatigue. At the same time, the supportive fatty tissue around the eyes begins to bulge, leading to a puffy, tired, or angry appearance. Eyelid surgery removes excess fatty tissue and lifts eyelid skin to correct these changes and open up the eyes for better functionality and appearance. While an eyelid lift can also help improve fine lines and crow’s feet around the eye, it is not the best treatment option for reducing the appearance of creases and wrinkles.


How Much Does Male Eyelid Surgery Cost in the Washington, DC, Metro Area?

Eyelid surgery for our male patients starts at $3,500, depending on whether the surgery is performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. You will receive a personalized cost estimate during your consultation with one of our providers.

ESTABLISHED EXCELLENCE

Choose the experts that locals know and trust. Our multigenerational practice includes board-certified plastic surgeons who provide the best possible care with state-of-the-art technology.

  • What Happens During Eyelid Surgery?


Blepharoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Our board-certified plastic surgeons begin your procedure by inconspicuously placing an incision in the natural eye crease for an upper blepharoplasty or just under the lower lashes for a lower blepharoplasty. For lower eyelids, the transconjunctival technique may also be used if the removal of excess fat is the only goal. This approach involves placing an incision on the inside of the lower lid, resulting in no visible scarring.

After your surgery, you will experience bruising and swelling around the eyelids for two to three days. Some patients may find it difficult to fully close their eyes or may notice changes in the position of the lower eyelid, but these issues are generally temporary. Until your sutures are removed, typically within five days, you will need to avoid getting water in the area.

Light exercise and non-strenuous activity can typically be resumed one week following surgery, and bruising should dissipate within 10 to 14 days.

Is Eyelid Surgery Right for You?

If aging eyes are affecting your appearance and causing you to look tired or angry, it may be time to consider eyelid surgery. The best way to determine the most appropriate plan for achieving your goals is to speak with an experienced surgeon.

A Reputation Built on Results

  • I got three consultations for my upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Dr. Fleury was the most thorough and least aggressive in his approach, listening to my concerns and desired outcome. I elected to have the procedure with only local anesthesia, which was absolutely adequate for me. The procedure was fast, healing took about three weeks, and I am absolutely delighted with the results as I look natural, with no visible scarring, and 100% like a symmetrical rested version of myself (my eyeliner is visible for the first time in years!). I should have done this sooner! I highly recommend Dr. Fleury and his team.

  • I had blepharoplasty done by Dr. Kanuri under local anesthesia and I'm delighted to recommend him without reservation. He talked me through the entire procedure while it was in progress. The surgery was flawless and the scars cannot be seen ten days out from the surgery - just incredible. He is pleasant, I never felt rushed in our appointments, and he even gives his patients his cell phone number in case they have questions or concerns after the procedure.

  • Dr. Albino is truly a master of his craft and considered the top plastic surgeon in the DC area for good reason! I could not be happier with my results and experience. I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Albino including facelift, blepharoplasty, laser skin resurfacing, breast lift, liposuction, and abdominoplasty. These were performed in different surgeries over the past 5 years but each time I have been thrilled with my results. The Center for Plastic Surgery is the all-around best practice with amazing staff. From the very first consultation, I felt confident with their expertise, attention to detail and genuine care. Whether I went in for skincare, injections, consultations for surgery, the entire staff was extremely knowledgeable, caring and true professionals. Everyone was so helpful, everything was always explained so well, lots of options available and always offered a clear understanding and expectation of desired results. I can't say enough good things about the Doctors and complete staff!

  • Dr. Kanuri is a true gem! He has changed my life, and I am forever grateful. Thank you to the whole team at CPS (Sherrie, Angel, and the 2 wonderful nurses who assisted). I was extremely nervous about having any type of procedure at all, but after 8 years of living with my nose after a mohs procedure, I finally decided to have a consultation. I was also bothered by my eyelids folding over my eyelashes and constantly looking tired, so I asked if I was a good candidate for blepharoplasty. Dr. Kanari was honest with what kind of results I could expect, and set my mind at ease with his knowledge and approach. He was confident that I would be a good candidate. The morning of the procedure, he met with me again and asked if I had any questions or concerns. The evening of the procedure, he personally checked to make sure I was doing all right. Who does that, right? If you have ANY reservations about any type of procedure, please know that you are in the best and most caring hands with Dr. Kanuri. I am one week out and look and feel terrific! Why did I wait so long?

  • My first impression by Dr. Kanuri was his professionalism and his outstanding bedside manner, I immediately felt comfortable with letting him know what i wanted and trusted him with my surgery, his communication skills are excellent as well, he texted, called and emailed before and after my surgery. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations I feel like a new person and I love the results so far (surgery was on February 2021). I am forever grateful for my face lift surgery, blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing and I highly recommend Dr. Kanuri.

  • Dr. Albino is fantastic! So honest and skilled. He performed eyelid surgery and a chemical peel for me. The results are spectacular. EVERYONE must see him. Thanks to the entire CPS team.

  • Several years ago, I had gynecomastia surgery on my pecs that went well. I continued to try working on lingering belly fat for years after but between not giving up enough carbs and work stress, it wasn't going anywhere. After getting a quote from my former doctor, I did some research and found Dr Albino. I ended up scheduling the surgery on my stomach and flanks almost immediately after meeting him. A year later, I've been very happy with the results. His bedside manner is great, he was very accessible to me/checked in via text, and his prices were reasonable. I'd recommend him to a friend and would use him again.

  • Paramount to his gentle and personable bedside manner are the results he can deliver. As a man going into his 30s, I tried for years to manage my reality dealing with Gynecomastia. I had many reservations about committing to a procedure to fix my issue but Dr. Albino put me at ease and did an incredible job. He was an absolute pleasure through the process and this procedure has been nothing short of life changing. I was the man who wears winter clothes all year round for fear my swollen chest would draw negative attention. Now I find myself impatiently waiting for summer so I can showcase my new physique and it is very much because of Dr. Albino and wonderful team at CPS!

  • Hailey Burkett did an amazing job! This was the best facial I’ve ever had. My skin feels incredible, and she even gave my lips some extra care. I’m so happy with the results!

    Ruth Garcia-Andrade
  • Dr. Kanari is an outstanding plastic surgeon, supported by an incredible team of professionals and healthcare staff. Within a month, we not only developed a surgical plan to repair my severely damaged nose, but also addressed two other medically necessary facial procedures. He took all the time I needed during my consultation, performed the surgery flawlessly, and his post-operative care has been exceptional. Even better, because the procedures were medically necessary, they were fully covered by my insurance. I highly recommend Dr. Kanari to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable plastic surgeon.

  • Had the Diamond Glow facial by Hailey & it was fantastic, it was infused with amazing serums. My skin was & is glowing. Hailey set me up with the perfect skin care too! What power hands she has doing the facial massage & neck & shoulder treatment. Left feeling so good. 😊

    Judith Pappas
  • I highly recommend Dr. Albino. Dr. Albino was very patient and thorough in addressing my issues regarding a facelift. He was very honest and deemed it unnecessary at this time, I appreciate his candor and honesty in not attempting to sell me on an unnecessary procedure. I will continue to have any procedures at this office in the future as his staff is also very nice.

    Diana Ellyn
  • When I first began my search for a plastic surgeon, I realized that there are a lot of plastic surgeons available in this area but only a small few seem to really enjoy, talk about or specialize in facelifts. When I met Dr Kanuri for my initial consultation, I immediately connected with him, not to mention his wonderful staff, Sherry and Angel, and knew I trusted his insight and skills to do my surgery. He was very honest in telling me what he could not achieve and gave me his recommendations on how to get the best results for me. I’m 3 months post facelift and only wish I had done this sooner. Post care has been great and Dr Kanuri has responded to every concern or question almost immediately. If you are looking for the best surgeon with a warm and caring manner, Dr. Kanuri should be on your list.

  • 10 stars for Hailey! She is professional, caring, personable, and extremely skilled. She carefully listened to skin improvement goals and then crafted a treatment plan to meet them. She has spoiled me for facials forever.

  • The pre-op meeting with Dr. Kanuri and the OR Nurse was very positive, reassuring, and thorough. They addressed all my questions and concerns.

    Karen Restani
  • My facial was out of this world. Such a profound difference in my skin.

    Renise Leresche
  • Dr Kanuri was so pleasant and kind to work with.. He let me show him pictures of what my vision was for rhinoplasty and he got it exactly how I wanted it! It was also comforting having him reach out to me directly a couple of times after my surgery to check in on me.

    Farnoosh Gibson
  • My sister and I both had facelift procedures (lower face/neck) with Dr. Kanuri and are extremely happy with the results. Dr. Kanuri put us at ease with his calm demeanor and knowledgeable and professional approach. In addition to the facelifts, he recommended fat transfer to fill out areas that had thinned out with age. We are so happy to look again like how we feel - i.e., with some years removed! Dr. Kanuri explained everything clearly in the pre-procedure appointments, and after the surgery he followed up to be sure everything was ok and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. He even provided his personal phone number. The nurses, anesthesiologists and staff members we dealt with were also very attentive, professional and helpful, and the office is sparkling and beautiful. The whole place inspires confidence! We can highly recommend Dr. Kanuri and CPS. A friend of ours had had a facelift with him and she looked great, so we went in for a consultation and immediately decided that this was the place and Dr. Kanuri was our doctor. We’re so happy to have found him. Thank you Dr. Kanuri and everyone at CPS!
