Men's Eyelid Surgery in Las Vegas
Make eye contact with confidenceWhen others look you in the eye, you want them to see the confident, vibrant man that you are. Unfortunately, the aging process and genetics can affect the eyelids in ways that make the eyes look tired or haggard: sagging upper lids, puffy lower lids, or heavily wrinkled skin.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can often correct a sad or tired appearance by removing the bulging fat (“bags”) and excessive and wrinkled skin of the eyelids. Both upper and lower eyelid surgery are popular with many men in Las Vegas, who realize the importance of eye contact in business and social situations.
Certified both in cosmetic surgery and facial plastic surgery, Dr. Samir Pancholi has helped many male patients achieve a better refreshed, natural appearance and regain their confident edge.

Having trouble seeing? Eyelid lift surgery may be the answer
With naturally heavier eyelids and brow, men are more prone to vision problems caused by sagging skin on the upper eyelids as they age. Cosmetic eyelid surgery can be very effective to restore a full field of vision. During surgery, excess skin is removed from the upper lids, which eliminates the physical obstruction and allows the eyes to open more fully and feel less heavy and tired.
Men who have had eyelid lift surgery for this reason find the procedure especially rewarding, as they not only can see better for the first time in years, but they also enjoy the benefit of looking a little younger and better refreshed.
