As our skin ages, it gradually loses its elasticity, and this can lead to sagging eyelids that not only make us look older but can affect our vision as well. That’s where eyelid surgery comes in. At Rostami OPC, we are proud to offer eyelid surgery to the residents of Reston and the surrounding communities. Whether you are struggling with your upper lids, lower lids, or both, our team can ensure you love what you see when you look in the mirror.

What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) for Droopy Eyelids?
Eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic and medical procedure that is used to address under-eye bags, drooping eyelids, and puffiness in the upper and lower eyelids. By removing excess skin and fat, strengthening muscles and tendons, and repositioning tissue and fat, the procedure can not only make you look younger, but also improve your vision and make you look less tired.
Eyelid surgery can be done on the upper or lower eyelids or both for a full eye rejuvenation. How long the procedure takes will depend on whether the lower and/or upper eyelids are addressed during surgery.
Who is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Most patients who are struggling with sagging upper or lower lids, blocked vision due to sagging skin, or puffy under-eyes/under-eye bags are good candidates for eyelid surgery. On top of that, there are some other criteria we look for to determine if this is the best treatment option for you.
Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery in Reston Are:
- In good overall health
- Have realistic expectations of treatment
- Nonsmokers (or willing to quit)
- Don’t have any major eye conditions
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
Eyelid Surgery Benefits
Some of the many benefits you can look forward to with eyelid surgery in Reston include the following:
- Long-lasting results: Most patients are able to enjoy their results for 5-7 years. While the surgery can’t stop the aging process, it can slow it down.
- More youthful appearance: With less sagging and puffiness around the eyes, you can expect to look years younger. You will look more alert, less tired, and more youthful.
- Improved vision: If your peripheral vision is affected by your sagging upper eyelids, eyelid surgery at Rostami OPC can significantly improve your vision and allow you to see everything around you.
- Boost in confidence: Many of our patients notice a significant boost in their confidence after their eyelid surgery. When you love what you see in the mirror, your self-esteem will soar.
