What Is Blepharoplasty?
Many people consider their eyes to be their best feature. Sometimes, though, excess skin above or below the eyes can create a tired or unflattering look. Dr. Dino Maglic performs eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty or an eyelid lift) for Draper, UT men and women who want to correct the upper or lower lids to attain a younger, more alert appearance. Countless men and women have eyelid surgery at Maglic Plastic Surgery to correct sagging skin, leading to improved function and appearance. Upper and lower eyelid lifts create a more awakened appearance and can produce subtle yet striking improvements. If you want to learn more about rejuvenating your eyes with eyelid lift surgery, contact us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Maglic at our practice.
What Can I Expect with An Eyelid Lift?
Depending on the approach Dr. Maglic takes and the scope of the surgery, eyelid lifts done with general anesthesia or IV sedation. The procedure may target the top eyelid by itself, the bottom eyelid or the area underneath it, or both lids.
- Upper: Upper eyelid surgery assists in reducing excess skin to improve vision and produce a more flattering look. An incision is usually made along the lash line or crease to trim away tissue and fat.
- Lower: Lower eyelid lifts are performed to reduce bulging, bloated skin beneath the lower lid. In most cases, an incision is placed below the lash line to surgically remove fat, and the skin is gently lifted to allow for a flatter, smoother look.

Blepharoplasty FAQ
How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Cosmetic eyelid surgery costs will vary based on whether you get a lower eyelid lift, upper, or both. Once your treatment plan is developed in your initial consultation, Dr. Maglic can go over cost estimates. For results that look natural and last a long time, it is better to focus on choosing a skilled Plastic Surgeon with whom you are comfortable, like Dr. Maglic, instead of looking for the lowest cost. Maglic Plastic Surgery uses several payment methods to help you afford a great eyelid lift, including low-interest financing.
Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
If excess skin is limiting your vision, your insurance may cover some of your eyelid lift. Please talk to Dr. Maglic in your initial consultation if you may be using your insurance. Someone at Maglic Plastic Surgery will help you submit the needed information and paperwork for your provider to process your claim. Generally, you will need a letter from an optometrist or ophthalmologist stating that blepharoplasty will improve your vision.
What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?
Blepharoplasty not only refreshes your appearance but can also provide other benefits. Once the hanging skin from your upper eyelid is gone, you may find your vision field is greater. It is also easier to put on eye makeup once your upper eyelid is smooth. Eliminating fine lines, paper-thin skin, dark circles, and puffy bags under your eyes can help your eyes look fuller and brighter without a lot of makeup.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Wrinkles on your forehead and the corners of your eyes (Crow's feet) may be better treated with a facelift or brow lift since the improvements of eyelid surgery are limited to the upper or lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can also be performed with a nonsurgical procedure like BOTOX, which combats wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Wrinkle fillers may help to add volume to hollow areas for a softer, smoother appearance. In your consultation, Dr. Maglic will develop your custom treatment plan to fit your needs and goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Skin tightening without surgery and injectable wrinkle treatments may provide mild improvements. However, if you want to fix moderate to severe sagging skin or want results that last a long time, eyelid surgery is better for your needs. After you tell Dr. Maglic about your needs and goals, he will give you recommendations for your surgical or nonsurgical treatment plan. He might also recommend both nonsurgical and surgical procedures for ideal results.
