Types of Blepharoplasty We Offer
Upper blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty
This surgical procedure eliminates excess skin and fat under the eyes to reduce puffiness and create a smooth area that transitions from the lower eyelashes to the cheeks. In most cases, the eyelid fat is moved into a better position and is not removed.
Non-surgical blepharoplasty
Also called a liquid eyelift, this minimally-invasive procedure involves injecting dermal fillers to restore volume to smooth away eye bags and reduce discoloration. A plasma pen can be used to tighten and smooth loose upper eyelid skin.

Your Procedure
Dr. Kulbersh will perform your blepharoplasty at the fully accredited Fairview Surgical Suites. Upper or lower blepharoplasty typically takes 1-2 hours to complete and requires local or general anesthesia.
For lower blepharoplasty – Dr. Kulbersh may use various techniques to customize the eyelid procedure, depending on your concerns. Lower eye bags are typically caused by extra fat in the region. This fat is moved into a better position in the cheek area to smooth the region. This technique creates the most natural and long-lasting result. Dr. Kulbersh believe in preserving the fat around the eye. To treat loose, wrinkled skin on the lower eyelid, he makes a small incision underneath the eyelashes and removes excess skin. If there is loss of volume in the cheek that has contributed to under-eye circles, Dr. Kulbersh can use facial fillers, facial fat transfer, or a cheek implant to restore volume to the cheek area.
For upper blepharoplasty – Dr. Kulbersh makes an incision along the upper eyelid’s crease. He either removes pockets of fat in the upper eyelid or repositions it so the area will lay flatter. He also trims excess skin that is hooding the eye. Finally, he closes the incision to reveal a smoother and tauter upper eyelid.

How can I prepare for a blepharoplasty?
Preparing for your blepharoplasty begins weeks leading up to your surgery. We will guide you through the process. Instructions may include avoiding certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) and supplements that may increase the risk of bruising after surgery.
We will provide a list of all instructions to make your recovery process as smooth as possible. You may contact our Charlotte office if you have any questions before your surgery.
How long will my blepharoplasty last?
The results may last for 10 years or longer.
Are there any age restrictions for undergoing blepharoplasty?
There are no specific age restrictions for undergoing blepharoplasty. The best blepharoplasty candidates are in good health and want to improve their appearance and vision.
Does insurance ever cover blepharoplasty in Charlotte?
Blepharoplasty is only covered by insurance when it is considered a “functional” blepharoplasty or when it is performed for medical reasons (e.g., when drooping eyelids are affecting the field of vision). Blepharoplasty is not covered when it is performed as an elective cosmetic surgery.
How long will I need to plan on staying for my blepharoplasty if I’m traveling from out of town?
It is best to stay for one night so we can monitor your recovery. We will then see patients 1 week after surgery. We can help you make your stay as comfortable as possible. You may help yourself of our concierge services to help you make booking and transportation arrangements, and you may also spend your first night in our Fairview Recovery Retreat.
What happens if I have problems after my surgery?
We are dedicated to delivering the highest level of quality care, and this means guiding you every step of the way, even after your surgery is complete. You may always contact us to answer your questions, or you may also schedule a follow-up visit.
What happens if I have problems after my blepharoplasty if I live in another state?
We recommend that patients arriving from another town or state plan at least a week’s stay in Charlotte since potential issues from surgery typically arise during this time. If you encounter a problem once you return home, you may contact us so we can assist you.
Are there non-surgical offers before I commit to a surgical blepharoplasty procedure?
Yes. Dermal fillers provide non-surgical rejuvenation to the eye area. Injecting the under-eye and cheek area with facial fillers restores lost volume to treat the hollows and shadows and soften the tear trough. The result is a naturally refreshed appearance around the eyes. Fillers also smooth laugh lines and create more defined cheekbones.
