Upper Eyelid Lift (blepharoplasty)
Few surgical enhancements are as transformative as those that brighten and beautify the eyes. This minimally invasive procedure involves the precise removal of excess skin, muscle, or fat from the upper eyelids, immediately revealing a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance with remarkably low downtime.
Tired of looking tired?
The eyes are perhaps the most expressive and alluring feature of the face, capable of conveying profound emotion in a single glance. Over time, however, age-related changes to the delicate skin and tissue around the eyes can cause a ‘mismatch’ between your expression and your energy. Patients often find themselves being asked if they are tired or distressed simply due to sagging lids or puffiness. Whether you are seeking to reclaim a vibrant, rested appearance or need to resolve vision obscured by excess skin, Dr. Hudson provides a refined, natural solution that restores both form and function.

Typically completed in under an hour, the procedure is conveniently performed in-office or in an operating suite under light sedation.
