To begin your eyelid surgery Palm Beach Gardens, Dr. Murphy will create small incisions below your lower lashes, hidden within the natural creases of your eyelids so that your scars are virtually imperceptible once you have fully healed. Through those openings, he will remove precise amounts of skin, fat and muscle until he’s improved your heavy bags, elevated your sagging skin and smoothed any wrinkles.

He will then create small incisions hidden within the creases of your upper eyelids. Through those openings, he’ll remove excess skin and alter the surrounding muscles, before subtly elevating your eyelids to a more youthful position. Once he has rejuvenated your eyes and achieved a bright and well-rested expression, he will carefully close the incisions to ensure that the resulting scars are very difficult, if not impossible, to see.
