Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure by Dr. Scott Sattler in his Seattle area clinic. Eyelid lift surgery can be done to improve the appearance of both the upper and lower eyelids.

What can Eyelid Surgery by Dr. Sattler achieve ?

Blepharoplasty surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can eliminate excess eyelid skin, widen the appearance of the eye and improve the appearance of the eyelid and cheek junction.  Eyelid surgery is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures such as a face lift or rhinoplasty (nose surgery) in Dr. Sattler's Seattle area clinic.

What about Asian eyelid lift surgery ?

Dr. Sattler performs cosmetic eyelid lift procedures to create the eyelid folds and the eyelid crease that some Seattle area Asian patients desire. This can be done under local anesthesia in our operating room with quick recovery.

How is Eyelid Surgery done ?

Dr. Sattler carefully evaluates the appearance of your eyes and cheeks and takes a detailed eye-related medical history.

For more substantial eyelid lift surgery, Dr. Sattler performs facial plastic surgery in our operating room facility using 'twilight sleep' anesthetic. This revolutionary anesthetic technique permits pain-free cosmetic surgery while you are sleeping. It avoids the side effects of general anesthesia.
