Your eyes tell a story, often revealing age and stress over time. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can restore a youthful, refreshed look by reducing drooping, puffiness, and wrinkles. At Prendiville, we treat patients based on their unique physiology, focusing on enhancing your natural features. The result is a rejuvenated, vibrant appearance that helps you confidently face the world.

What is A Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is all about refreshing the area around your eyes. It can remove excess skin from the upper and lower lids and sometimes reposition tissues for a more lifted look. While it’s often done for cosmetic reasons, some people find it helps improve their vision, too. Just a heads-up—this procedure only focuses on the eyes, so if you're looking to lift the lower face or forehead, that’s where a facelift or an endoscopic forehead lift would come in.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Reduces the Appearance of Tired Eyes

Blepharoplasty effectively eliminates excess skin and puffiness around the eyes, reducing the appearance of tired, droopy eyes. This creates a more youthful, refreshed look, helping your eyes appear brighter and more alert.

Improves Vision by Reducing Drooping Eyelids

In cases where drooping upper eyelids block part of the field of vision, blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision. By lifting and tightening the skin, this procedure can help restore full vision, making daily tasks such as reading or driving safer and more comfortable.

Boosts Self-Confidence

Enhancing the appearance of your eyes can have a significant impact on your self-esteem. Blepharoplasty offers a rejuvenated, well-rested look, helping you feel more confident in your appearance. Whether in personal or professional settings, a brighter and fresher look can boost your overall self-assurance.

Long-Lasting Results

While it doesn’t stop the aging process, blepharoplasty provides long-lasting results. Most patients enjoy the benefits of the procedure for many years, with the improvements in both aesthetics and vision remaining stable over time, making it a worthwhile investment in both function and appearance.

Minimally Invasive with Quick Recovery

Neck lift techniques can vary from traditional surgical methods to non-invasive options. Understanding these techniques helps patients choose the best approach for achieving a youthful neck appearance.

Achieves a More Youthful, Natural Look

Unlike more extensive procedures, blepharoplasty enhances your natural beauty by carefully removing only the necessary amount of skin and tissue. This ensures that your results look natural, avoiding any ‘overdone’ appearance. Your eyes will look younger and refreshed, without changing your unique facial characteristics.

Doctor Prendeville did some work on my face and just after 3 months the results are unbelievable. I was already very impressed with the office staff they are so professional but must important they are very kind and loving. Believe me I will do it again and again, but only with him trust me you will never regret it.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Prendiville in April 2024, and had a wonderful experience. The office staff is warm, and knowledgeable.  Everyone made me feel comfortable, and cared for.

I had the privilege of Dr. Prendiville performing my facelift and eye lift and I am beyond thrilled with his work.  He and his office are extremely professional and caring and I am so happy I chose him.  If you are considering a facelift, you won’t be disappointed.  I look completely natural but probably 20 years younger!  Thank you Dr. Prendiville!

Marie

I had a lower facelift done by Dr. Prendiville, and the results are A-MAZING. Friends and family say I look the same as I did 10-15 years ago. When I look in the mirror, I see myself, not the person with the heavy neck and jowls who refused pictures. I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the results! Highly recommend.

Rose

My husband had a neck lift by Dr. Prendiville and is very pleased with the results. He looks many years younger than his age. What a huge difference one procedure like that can make! I am an RN and do thorough and detailed research before choosing my medical professionals because I only want the very best, as we all deserve.

Dena

Forever grateful to Dr. Prendiville and his team.  He has his own genius and competency along with every each and everyone you meet in his office!   He is one of the few surgeons who specializes in only the face and neck plastic surgery.  Take it from me, he kept me from being invisible as an older woman, safely.  Experience matters. ✨️
