Blepharoplasty
in Melbourne, FL
Eyes are the focal point of facial balance, yet the thin eyelid skin is often the first region to show advanced signs of aging. At RENEW, blepharoplasty is a delicate, tailored surgical procedure designed to correct droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, and hooded upper eyes without altering your authentic expressions.
Led by board-certified facial specialist Dr. King Kim, our Melbourne facial cosmetic surgery practice combines meticulous surgical skill with artful restraint. Whether you require an upper blepharoplasty to clear heaviness, a lower blepharoplasty to eliminate herniated fat, or a combined eye lift, Dr. Kim removes excess skin and restores a vibrant, refreshed gaze.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a precise surgical procedure that restores a more youthful, alert, and energized appearance to the eye area by removing excess skin and fat. Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your individual concerns and goals.

Before their blepharoplasty Melbourne patients begin with a thorough consultation with Dr. Kim, during which he will evaluate their eyelid anatomy, discuss their goals, and determine whether upper, lower, or both eyelids will be addressed.
During the procedure, Dr. Kim makes carefully placed incisions within the natural folds and creases of the eye, allowing for minimal visible scarring post-surgery. Excess skin and fat deposits are then removed or repositioned to restore a smooth, refreshed, and youthful eye area.
The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia for your comfort and takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of treatment.
For our Melbourne blepharoplasty patients, surgery corrects multiple aesthetic and functional concerns across the upper and lower face:
Eyelid surgery with Dr. King Kim can address a number of concerns in the upper and lower eye area, including:
Youthful Appearance
Remove excess, drooping skin from the upper eyelids to restore a more energized, awake, and naturally youthful look.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation
Reduce puffiness and under-eye bags in the lower lids for a smoother, more refreshed eye contour.
Enhanced Vision
Improve peripheral vision that may have been impaired by sagging upper eyelid skin — a functional as well as cosmetic benefit.
Smoother Forehead
Relieve the strain of heavy, drooping lids — which often causes patients to unconsciously raise their brows — resulting in a smoother forehead.
Minimal Scarring
Incisions are placed discreetly within the natural creases of the eye, making any scarring virtually invisible once healed.
Improved Confidence
Look as rested and energized as you feel — with natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony and overall self-confidence.
A good candidate for an upper and lower eyelid procedure is an adult in good overall health who wants to refresh their look. Before undergoing eyelid surgery, patients undergo a review of their medical history, prior eye conditions (such as severe dry eyes, glaucoma, or thyroid eye disease), and basic lab testing.
Candidates should not have untreated eye diseases or active conditions that impede healing, so please make sure to share that information with Dr. Kim during your Melbourne blepharoplasty consultation.

Following your eyelid surgery, you will need to allow a few days for rest and initial recovery. Most patients feel ready to return to work and normal daily activities within a week, though we recommend abstaining from strenuous exercise for at least one month to support proper healing.
Some swelling, tenderness, and mild bruising around the eye area is completely normal during the early recovery period. Both over-the-counter and prescription medications are available to keep you comfortable throughout the process. Dr. Kim and our team will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions and be available to support you at every stage of your recovery.
As initial bruising resolves over the first two weeks, your brighter, open-eyed look will begin to show. Within 1 to 3 months, subtle swelling subsides completely, revealing smooth upper lids, a defined eye crease, and seamless contours across the lower eyelids.
By clearing drooping skin and heavy fat pads, blepharoplasty creates an enduring, refreshed frame for your eyes. Results from upper and lower eyelid surgery are long-lasting; while natural facial aging continues, most patients never require a second procedure on their upper or lower eyelids.
At RENEW, eyelid surgery is performed by double board-certified facial specialist Dr. King Kim. His advanced mastery of delicate facial anatomy, orbital structures, and tissue conservation ensures that your eye surgery avoids a hollowed or artificially pulled appearance.
From your initial private evaluation to your post-care recovery visits, our team provides personal care. Whether performing a targeted upper-lid blepharoplasty or a complete upper- and lower-lid blepharoplasty paired with a brow lift, RENEW provides exceptional care focused on your safety, comfort, and natural results, with financing options available.

An upper blepharoplasty focuses on trimming excess eyelid skin and fat that hangs over the eyelashes. A lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, shifting or removing herniated fat deposits and smoothing loose skin beneath the lower eye margin.
Most patients experience visible bruising and swelling for 7 to 10 days following blepharoplasty surgery. You can usually return to desk work and social activities after one week, with full tissue maturation occurring over several months.
While blepharoplasty removes structural fat bags and tightens loose skin, it does not stop dynamic muscle creasing at the outer eye corners that leads to crow's feet. For fine wrinkles or dark circles caused by skin pigmentation, Dr. Kim may recommend combining your surgery with skin resurfacing, laser treatments, or specialized medspa therapies.
Many upper eyelid surgery procedures are comfortably performed using local anesthesia with mild oral sedation right in our clinic. For combined upper and lower eyelids or multi-procedure surgeries, deeper sedation or general anesthesia may be recommended for your complete comfort.
Incisions are meticulously placed within the natural folds of the upper eyelid crease or just under the lower lash line. Once fully healed, these microscopic lines blend naturally into your skin and are virtually impossible to see during daily interactions.
