The surgical technique involves carefully placed incisions within the natural eyelid crease, allowing Dr. Eskenazi to remove appropriate amounts of skin and fat while maintaining proper eyelid mechanics. The result is refreshed, alert eyes that maintain natural expression and movement while eliminating the tired, aged appearance caused by excess upper eyelid tissue.
