Eyelid Lift Surgery

Eyelid skin is the thinnest and most delicate on the body, and it’s often the first place aging shows — sagging, hooded, or heavy lids that make the whole face look tired no matter how rested you feel. An eyelid lift restores brightness and vitality to the eyes, removing or tightening loose skin and refreshing the surrounding area for a more youthful, energetic appearance. Dr. Erez Dayan performs eyelid lift surgery at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.

Achieving a result that looks naturally rested — never operated on — is the mark of a skilled eye surgeon, and it’s the standard Dr. Erez Dayan holds himself to. A recipient of the Harvard Plastic Surgery Academic Achievement Award, he completed his training in the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program, where he served as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, followed by an elite aesthetic surgery fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Dayan brings a refined, conservative philosophy to facial rejuvenation, enhancing the eyes while keeping them unmistakably your own. Eyelid lift surgery is one of the practice’s eyes and brows plastic surgery procedures.

What an Eyelid Lift Can Address

As the face ages and the skin loses elasticity, tissue and muscle gradually give way to gravity around the eyes. An eyelid lift uses a combination of advanced techniques to reverse those changes: loose skin is removed or tightened, fat can be repositioned or transferred to soften dark circles and add contour, and the eyelids — and often the brows — can be subtly lifted for a smoother, more alert appearance. These refinements are subtle but powerful, and achieving them well requires a highly experienced surgeon.

“The eyes are the focal point of the face, so even small changes have a big effect. My goal with an eyelid lift is to bring back vitality and openness — to make patients look rested and refreshed, not different.” — Dr. Erez Dayan

Frequently Asked Questions About Eyelid Lift Surgery

What does an eyelid lift involve?
An eyelid lift removes or tightens loose skin and can reposition or transfer fat to refresh the eyes. Depending on your needs, it may address the upper lids, lower lids, and even the brows for a comprehensive, natural result.

Is an eyelid lift the same as a blepharoplasty?
The terms are closely related — blepharoplasty is the surgical procedure that removes excess eyelid skin and fat, and an eyelid lift refers to that rejuvenation, often combined with complementary techniques. Dr. Dayan will explain exactly what your plan includes.

Can an eyelid lift help with dark circles and under-eye bags?
Yes. Dr. Dayan can reposition or transfer fat to soften dark circles and address the puffiness of under-eye bags, recontouring the area for a brighter, rested look.

Can the brows be lifted at the same time?
Often, yes. Because a heavy brow contributes to a tired appearance, Dr. Dayan may subtly lift the brows along with the eyelids for a more balanced, harmonious result.

Am I a good candidate?
Good candidates are bothered by sagging, hooded, or tired-looking eyes, are in good general health, and have realistic expectations. A consultation and examination are the best way to confirm your options.

What is recovery like?
Eyelid surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis with a relatively quick recovery. Dr. Dayan provides a detailed aftercare plan and follow-up, and any bruising and swelling generally resolve over the following weeks.
