Eyelid Surgery at Eye Specialists of Louisiana
Surgical options for optimal vision are here.
We use our eyes to interact with and explore the world around us. When we have changes to the appearance of our eyes, especially our eyelids, it can cause us to look differently than we feel, lower our self-confidence, and even lead to chronic vision and eye problems.
The good news is that our team of eye care specialists is adept at treating issues that involve the eyelids, leaving you with clearer vision and healthier eyelids in the long run.
If you’re experiencing eyelid problems affecting your vision, daily life, or confidence, we can help. Let’s explore some of the most common eyelid surgery options in Baton Rouge.
Why do I need eyelid surgery?
Eyelids have the thinnest, most delicate skin on the body, so they are more likely to sag or droop prematurely.
Aging eyelids can make a happy, alert person appear tired, sad, or even angry—because so much emotion is expressed with the eyes.
Droopy eyelids can also affect your vision. Hooded eyelids or weak eyelid muscles can make it more challenging to open your eyes completely, limiting your vision field.

Dr. Stuckey is skilled in various highly-specialized interventions for the eyelid, including
Blepharoplasty
A common procedure used to repair droopy eyelids. It works by reshaping the upper or lower eyelid by removing excess skin, tissue, and fat. It provides a high level of patient satisfaction, making it one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today for treating puffy eyes, droopy eyelids, and conspicuous folds surrounding the eye, creating a natural, bright-eyed, younger-looking you.
