Upper Eyelid
If your eyes constantly look tired or your lids block your visual field, you may be a good candidate for upper eyelid surgery. During this procedure, Dr. Brownrigg will create an incision along the crease of the upper lid, remove excess skin, and tighten the surrounding tissue.
Lower Eyelid
If you have permanent bags underneath your eyes, you may be a candidate for lower eyelid surgery. During this cosmetic procedure, Dr. Brownrigg will create discreet incisions just below or inside the lower lids. He will then remove excess fat, creating smooth, rejuvenated contours.
Combined
Blepharoplasty patients sometimes combine their eyelid surgery with other procedures, such as facelift surgery or an endoscopic brow lift, for more dramatic results. As a face and neck surgery specialist, Dr. Brownrigg is skilled in determining which procedure or procedures will allow you to achieve your goals.
Transconjunctival
This type of eyelid surgery is suitable for people with more elastic skin. In this procedure, no skin is removed, just fat.

Life After Eyelid Surgery
Your final results should be visible within a few months of your surgery. Although your skin will still be subject to the effects of natural aging, there are many ways to keep your results looking as good as possible. Avoid excessive sun exposure or wear protective eyewear, such as wraparound sunglasses. Also, refrain from smoking since smoking causes premature skin aging and other damage.
Our Refined Techniques Result in Minimal Scarring
/
Worried about scarring? Don't be. Modern blepharoplasty involves making incisions in the natural creases around the eye, so scars are virtually unnoticeable. Dr. Brownrigg uses state-of-the-art techniques to provide flattering results that look as natural as possible.
Dr. Brownrigg's Priority Is Your Safety & Comfort
You may be apprehensive about undergoing surgery on such a delicate part of your body. However, you can rest assured that Dr. Brownrigg follows the strictest standards of care when performing your surgery and will provide support throughout your recovery.
Pain is also a common patient concern. Local anesthesia will be used to numb your eyelid during surgery, and sedation will be administered to keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire process. After surgery, pain medication can be used to manage any discomfort.
A 5-Star Review by a Blepharoplasty Patient
"Had my eyes done by Dr. Brownrigg and the results are terrific. Wonderful staff and results. 5 star experience." Jean W.
Blepharoplasty vs. Non-Surgical Treatment
For patients who are not quite ready to undergo eyelid surgery, our Ottawa practice has non-surgical treatments available. BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers can also address wrinkles around your eyes and are a more affordable option for many patients. However, these treatments must be touched up every few months and cannot correct sagging or excess skin. If these are your primary concerns, a surgical eye lift is typically your best option.
The Difference Between Blepharoplasty and a Brow Lift
A forehead lift, also called a brow lift, focuses on lifting drifting eyebrows and smoothing the lines along the forehead and between the brows. This treatment can be combined with a blepharoplasty to give you a comprehensive enhancement.

Dr. Brownrigg is absolutely amazing. I had a deviated septum and nasal valve collapse. I went in for an appt and then booked a surgery for a few months later. He came to talk to me before and after the surgery and made sure I was comfortable and calm. The surgery was a success! I can now breath much clearer than before and my nose looks beautiful!
