What Is Eyelid & Brow Surgery?
The eyelids and brow do more than frame the eyes. As skin loses elasticity and muscles weaken over time, excess skin, sagging brows, and drooping lids can affect both appearance and, in some cases, vision itself. Eyelid and brow surgery addresses these changes, sometimes for cosmetic reasons, sometimes for functional ones, and often for both at once.
Not every patient needs the same procedure. Some are dealing with heavy upper lids that shadow the eyes. Others notice puffiness or bags along the lower lids. Some have a lid that droops low enough to interfere with sight, while others are seeing changes higher up, in the brow itself, that make the eyes look tired even when they're not.
At Remagin, eyelid & brow surgery is performed by Dr. Keshini Parbhu, a fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon whose focus areas include eyelids, lacrimal, and orbital disease.
Why the Right Diagnosis Matters
Eyelid and brow concerns often overlap in ways that make self-diagnosis unreliable. What looks like an upper eyelid problem may actually originate in the brow, which has drifted downward and is pushing extra skin onto the lid. What looks like simple aging may, in some cases, be ptosis, a drooping lid caused by a weakened or stretched muscle rather than excess skin.
Choosing the wrong procedure, or treating only part of the problem, can mean a result that doesn't fully address what's actually happening, or symptoms like visual field blockage that persist even after surgery. A thorough evaluation identifies which structures are involved, so the surgical plan matches the actual cause.
Eyelid & Brow Surgery Options at Remagin
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Removes excess skin and fat from the upper lids to open up the eyes and, when heavy enough, restore vision that's been blocked by overhanging skin.
Learn MoreLower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Targets puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose skin along the lower lids. Because the lower lid has different anatomy and different aging patterns than the upper lid, this procedure is approached separately, with techniques chosen based on whether fat, skin, or both need to be addressed.
Learn MorePtosis Surgery (Droopy Eyelid)
Corrects a lid that sits lower than it should, often due to a stretched or weakened muscle rather than excess skin. Ptosis can be present from birth or develop over time, and depending on severity, it can narrow the field of vision, not just change appearance.
Learn MoreBrow Ptosis Repair
Lifts a brow that has descended over time, which can crowd the upper eyelid, deepen forehead creases, and contribute to a tired or heavy-lidded look that upper blepharoplasty alone won't fully resolve.

How Dr. Parbhu Helps You Choose the Right Approach
Every evaluation starts with identifying exactly which structures are contributing to a patient's concern: the brow, the upper lid, the lower lid, or a combination. Dr. Parbhu examines lid position, muscle function, and how much of what's being seen is skin versus fat versus true structural drooping.
She also asks about functional symptoms, whether vision feels blocked or eyes feel strained by the end of the day, alongside cosmetic goals, since the two often intersect. The result is a plan that treats the actual cause, whether that means one procedure or a combination of them, rather than defaulting to whichever surgery is most commonly requested.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eyelid & Brow Surgery
It depends on which structures are contributing to the concern. A consultation with Dr. Parbhu can determine whether the brow, the lids, or both are involved.
Not always. Upper eyelid surgery and ptosis repair can be functional when excess skin or a drooping lid is blocking vision, and may be considered medically necessary in those cases.
Heavy upper lids are usually caused by excess skin. Ptosis is caused by a weakened or stretched lid muscle, which allows the lid itself to sit lower. The two can look similar but require different surgical approaches.
Coverage depends on whether the procedure is deemed medically necessary, such as a visual field blockage from ptosis or excess skin. The team at Remagin can help determine what applies to your situation.
