Enjoy a Brighter, Younger Gaze

The eyes are often the first place to show signs of aging—drooping lids, puffiness, and under-eye bags can make you look exhausted or older than you feel. But what if there was a way to refresh your eyes without the invasiveness of traditional surgery? Laser eyelid surgery at Accents Cosmetic Surgery uses cutting-edge CO2 laser technology to gently remove excess tissue and tighten the skin around your eyes with unmatched precision. Performed by Dr. Mark Berkowitz, a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, this advanced procedure achieves smoother, brighter, more youthful eyes with less bruising, faster healing, and virtually invisible scarring.

What Is Laser Eyelid Surgery?

Laser eyelid surgery, also known as laser blepharoplasty, is a modern alternative to traditional eyelid surgery that uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser instead of a scalpel to make incisions and remove excess skin, fat, or tissue from the upper and/or lower eyelids.

The laser’s precision allows for greater control, reduced bleeding, and faster healing, making it a popular option for patients looking to refresh their eye area with less downtime and a natural appearance.

The Benefits of Laser Eyelid Surgery

  • Minimal Bleeding & Swelling: The laser cauterizes as it cuts, dramatically reducing trauma to surrounding tissues.
  • Faster Healing: Many patients experience a quicker recovery than with traditional blepharoplasty.
  • No Visible Scars: Because the laser makes ultra-fine, precise incisions, scarring is minimal and often imperceptible.
  • More Precise Tissue Removal: The laser allows for exceptional control when addressing delicate areas around the eyes.
  • Natural Results: Laser eyelid surgery smooths under-eye bags and lifts drooping lids without looking “overdone.”
  • Improved Vision: Removing excess upper eyelid skin enhances peripheral vision in some patients.

Is Laser Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are bothered by sagging eyelids, puffiness, or under-eye bags
  • Want subtle, natural-looking eye rejuvenation
  • Prefer a less invasive alternative to traditional blepharoplasty
  • Are in good health and a non-smoker (or willing to quit)
  • Do not have significant eye or vision issues that would contraindicate the procedure

Dr. Berkowitz will evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine whether laser blepharoplasty, or another eyelid surgery technique, is the best approach for you.

What to Expect Your Laser Eyelid Surgery

Personal Consultation

You’ll meet with Dr. Berkowitz to discuss your concerns and desired results.

Treatment Planning

Dr. Berkowitz will assess your skin, fat pads, and muscle structure to determine the best laser approach.

Surgery Day

Laser eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation in our AAAHC-accredited surgical suite.

Laser Precision

The CO2 laser creates precise incisions and removes or tightens tissue on the upper and/or lower eyelids.

Immediate Healing Begins

Because the laser seals blood vessels as it cuts, there is little bleeding and minimal bruising.

Laser Eyelid Surgery Recovery & Results

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for about 5–7 days, with full recovery in 1–2 weeks. Since the laser seals tissues during surgery, healing is typically faster and smoother than traditional eyelid surgery.

Once the initial swelling subsides, you’ll begin noticing brighter, smoother, and more rested eyes. Final results will appear over the next few weeks and can last up to 10 years or more, depending on your skin and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions Laser Eyelid Surgery

Is laser eyelid surgery better than traditional blepharoplasty?

It depends on your needs. Laser surgery offers less bleeding, faster healing, and minimal scarring—but traditional techniques may be more appropriate for certain complex cases. Dr. Berkowitz will recommend the best method for your goals.

Will I be awake during the procedure?

Most patients receive local anesthesia and light sedation. You’ll be relaxed but awake, and you won’t feel any pain during the surgery.

How long does the procedure take?

Laser eyelid surgery usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on whether both upper and lower lids are treated.

Are the results permanent?

While laser eyelid surgery can last 10 years or more, the natural aging process continues. Maintenance treatments or lifestyle adjustments can help prolong results.

Will people be able to tell I had something done?

Not in an obvious way. Patients should look “well-rested” or “refreshed,” not surgically altered.
