Eye Lift
Conveniently located to serve Charleston and Mt. Pleasant
An eye lift can restore a more youthful look by resolving drooping tissue, lost volume, and other signs of aging in this area of the face. Dr. Sonny O is considered a top provider of the eye lift in Charleston. He personalizes every surgery to the unique anatomy and goals of the individual to ensure the natural-looking enhancement that his patients love.
Why Timeless Eyes?
One of the first signs of aging is shown in our eyes. It tells our story. For some, we forever cherish the smile lines from all of the funny jokes and smiling memories. For others, the bags under our eyes are inherited, or puffiness and dark circles have occurred over time.
As we age, the muscles and tissues that support our eyes weaken, the skin loses its elasticity, and we look tired in general. Lotions, potions, and creams no longer do the trick. Dr. Sonny O has the perfect treatment with Timeless Eyes.
Upper eyes, lower eyes, forehead, and skin can all be treated with surgical and nonsurgical options.
Considering an Eye Lift?
Eyelift surgery, or blepharoplasty, is often used to help address excess skin in the lower and/or upper eyelids. The goal of this type of procedure is to help restore a more youthful and rested appearance.
Eyelid surgery can be performed for cosmetic reasons or through insurance to improve sight by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient’s field of vision. Our patients who ask for an eye lift in Charleston come from all walks of life and range in age from those in their twenties to those in their senior years.
What does a Blepharoplasty Correct?
- Loose, sagging and/or folded upper eyelids
- Puffy fat deposits in the upper and lower eyelids
- Under-eye bags
- Sagging lower eyelids that may show the white
of the eyes below the iris - Excess skin in the lower eyelids
- Fine wrinkles in the lower eyelids

Ideal Candidates
You may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery if you have sagging upper eyelids, under-eye puffiness, or loose skin that affects your appearance or vision. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the results. A consultation with Dr. Sonny O can help determine if this procedure is right for you.
How Will Your Eye Lift Surgery Be Performed?
This type of surgery is typically performed in our office under local anesthesia. Most of our patients describe the experience as similar to having a dental procedure completed.
For some patients, tightening the loose, baggy skin of the upper and lower eyelids can reduce wrinkles and puffiness around the eyes. While eyelid surgery can be performed on its own, some patients choose to combine it with a facelift for more complete facial rejuvenation.
Eye Lift Recovery Timeline
Most patients experience swelling and bruising in the first few days after surgery, especially around the eyes. Cold compresses and head elevation can help ease these symptoms. Stitches are usually removed around day five, and much of the discoloration and swelling has subsided by the second week. Light activities can typically resume within 7–10 days.
By weeks three to four, most patients feel comfortable returning to work or social events, and visible improvements become more noticeable. While every recovery is different, most individuals return to normal routines in about two weeks, with continued improvement in the following weeks.
How Much Does Eye Lift Surgery Cost?
The price of your eyelid surgery will depend on whether an upper or lower blepharoplasty or a combination procedure is needed to achieve your goals. After assessing your concerns, reviewing your medical history, and discussing your desired outcome, Dr. O will determine the best treatment approach for you. We’ll talk about the cost details with you.
To get a better idea of how much the eyelid lift costs in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant may be, consider that it depends on whether you choose upper, lower, or combined eyelid procedures. On average, upper eyelid surgery ranges from $3,304 to $8,054, while lower eyelid surgery ranges from $3,234 to $8,005. If both are performed together, the cost is typically between $10,000 and $11,000.
