Eyelid Surgery

Your eyes are a central part of who you are to the world. They convey both an age and a demeanor to the world around us. Unfortunately, over time and with the natural changes brought about by aging, the message our eyes send to the world no longer matches how we feel within. We look older. We look angry, upset, or disinterested. The muscles in this delicate area relax over time, causing heavy bags and an older, worn, and weathered tired appearance. Eyelid surgery in Detroit, Michigan, with Dr. Mark Berkowitz can improve these obvious cosmetic signs of aging and restore to you a bright, inviting, and more youthful expression.

Are You Ready to Have Your Eyes Done?

“I was experiencing vision problems due to my droopy eyelids. My eyes were always tired from having to work the muscles to keep my eyes open. I was tired of the comments from others saying how tired I always looked.”

For many of our Detroit patients, they decide it’s time for eyelid surgery when their vision is impaired due to heavy bags. For others, it’s when the lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin make them look years older than they feel.

A majority of our clients that choose to receive blepharoplasty in Detroit tend to be 35 years or older. However, if droopiness and heavy bags run in your family, you may need the procedure earlier in life.

Your Eyelid Surgery Options in Detroit

Laser Eyelid Surgery

  • Rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelids
  • Improve droopy, tired-looking eyes
  • Uses a laser rather than a scalpel
  • Less scarring, bleeding, and recovery time

Laser blepharoplasty can be done under local, topical, or oral sedation, which reduces the risks associated with anesthesia. Unlike the traditional approach to this procedure, this option is performed with a CO2 laser. The laser seals the blood vessels during surgery, so the patient experiences less bruising and swelling. This approach also allows Dr. Berkowitz to make very precise changes because there is less swelling and trauma to the area overall.

Traditional Eyelid Surgery

  • Remove fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids
  • Tighten the underlying muscles
  • Involves small incisions hidden in the natural creases of your eyes

With traditional eyelid surgery, Dr. Berkowitz will begin by administering general anesthesia to ensure your safety. He will then create an incision in your upper and lower eyelids, hiding the cuts in plain sight within the natural folds of your skin. From there, he will remove excess fat and tissue and reposition the underlying muscles. Once your youthful expression has been restored, he will close the incisions to minimize any scarring.

Both Dr. Berkowitz and Maria were terrific and I really enjoyed discussing an FUE procedure with them. They were open and honest about my level of hair loss, and were realistic and clear about what was possible to achieve. They weren't pushy and left the decision entirely within my hands on whether to proceed. I ultimately didn't go through with the procedure as I felt that what was achievable wasn't worth the cost. I would very much recommend their office and staff to anyone interested in FUE.

Kalye is the best!!! I was scheduled with her to do some injections into my scalp for hair loss and she couldn’t have been more kind, informative and really made me feel taken care of as a patient and a client. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and understood the process - she even inconvenienced her own schedule in order to accommodate mine and ensure I received the best results. I have so much more confidence for the journey ahead, knowing I am in such great hands with Kalye.

Dr. Berkowitz and his team have proven to be an excellent cosmetic practice! I had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty procedure in October 2020. Dr Berkowitz took the time to let me know what to expect in every detail. The procedure went smoothly, and I healed rather quickly without any complications. After recovery, the results have been exactly what I was hoping they would be. For anyone considering this surgery, I would highly recommend it. Addressing the aging around the eyes takes years off the overall appearance! You can surely trust that the entire team at Accents Cosmetic Surgery will take amazing care of you through every step of the way.

From making the appointment to actually meeting Dr. Alford, everything was smooth and amazing! I’m surprised I’m the first to even leave a review about how wonderful he is. He listened, modeled patience and made me feel comfortable. He did a breast augmentation on me and when I say I was nervous, that’s an understatement, but he assured me I’d be just fine, and I was. His work is phenomenal and I’d recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much Dr. Alford. I will be sure to update this review according to my healing and future results!!!

I've been seeing Dr. Berkowitz for hair loss treatment, and I've been noticing a significant change since I've been under his care. I've always been very insecure when it would come to my looks, wearing hats, avoiding public situations, and so on. He's been very helpful since I started seeing him. I've already referred him to a close friend.

Frequently Asked Questions Eyelid Surgery

Can I drive myself home after eyelid surgery?

No. Regardless of the type of anesthesia used, you should have someone drive you home after the procedure.

Will eyelid surgery make my dry eyes worse?

When performed conservatively, eyelid surgery does not typically worsen dry eyes. Dr. Berkowitz takes careful measures to preserve tear function.

When can I return to normal activities?

Most patients resume light activities after 3–4 days, with a return to work within 7–10 days, depending on the technique and individual healing.

How long does bruising and swelling last?

Expect visible bruising and swelling to peak within the first week and subside within 1–2 weeks. Minor swelling may linger longer.

Can I wear makeup after eyelid surgery?

You can usually wear eye makeup again after about 2–3 weeks, once the incisions have healed sufficiently.

Will I have visible scars after eyelid surgery?

Scars are placed within natural creases and typically fade to become virtually unnoticeable over time.

When can I wear contact lenses again?

Most patients can safely resume wearing contact lenses about 2 weeks after surgery, but it varies case by case.

Can I shower or wash my face after surgery?

You can shower the next day, but avoid getting the incision sites wet for at least 5–7 days. Use caution and gentle cleansing.

What can I do to minimize discomfort?

Apply cold compresses, keep your head elevated, and use prescribed or over-the-counter medication as directed by Dr. Berkowitz.

Can eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?

Yes, many patients choose to combine blepharoplasty with a facelift, brow lift, or laser resurfacing for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

What type of anesthesia is used?

Eyelid surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia depending on the procedure and patient preference.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery eliminates drooping skin for a smoother, more youthful look. It also improves vision in some cases.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery reduces puffiness and under-eye bags. It creates a rested, refreshed appearance.

Laser Eyelid Surgery

Laser eyelid surgery uses precision technology to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles. It delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
