What is an upper eyelid blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery)? Blepharoplasty (Greek: blepharo = eyelid +plasty = to change) is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in facial plastic surgery. Our eyes are one of the first places that show signs of aging. As we age we develop redundant skin on the eyelids which unfortunately makes us look tired.
Eyelid surgery, technically called blepharoplasty, is a procedure to remove excess skin-usually along with some eyelid fat pads and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision.

I get eye treatments every 10 weeks at the Premier Clinic in Mobile. Dr. Vick is one of the best physicians I have ever had anything to do with. She is also one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. It is a pleasure to receive treatments from this specialist who communicates with their patients while providing specialized care.

I would like to say something about the assistant of Dr Vicks that I saw yesterday. She was outstanding, pleasant, very knowledgeable and concerned about me as a patient. She did an extremely well exam and had everything prepared by the time Dr Vick walked in. She Was very confident which made me feel at ease. Very well organized group of people. My waiting time was very minimal. A very good experience. Dr. Vick was easy to be with. She knew exactly what to do for my eye problem. Great experience and well taken care of.
