If you’re experiencing droopy eyelids, puffy bags, or sagging skin that makes your eyes look tired or older than you feel, you’re not alone. In fact, nearly 1 in 6 adults over 40 in Atlanta report age-related changes around their eyes that impact confidence or vision. Fortunately, expert excess eyelid skin removal can restore a refreshed, youthful appearance — and no one does it better than Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and founder of Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC, located in the heart of Buckhead.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
What Is Excess Eyelid Skin Removal?
Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery removes and reshapes sagging or excess skin, restoring a smoother, more alert look. The skin around the eyes is among the thinnest on your body, making it especially vulnerable to collagen loss and gravity. This procedure is ideal for patients who experience hooded upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or overall droopiness that affects both appearance and, in some cases, vision.
Upper Eyelid Surgery:
- Targets excess skin that can droop over the lash line
- Hidden incisions along the natural crease
- Often improves visual field in addition to appearance
Lower Eyelid Surgery:
- Reduces puffiness or bags beneath the eyes
- Incisions discreetly placed under the lash line or inside the lower lid
Non-Surgical Alternatives Available:
Not every patient is ready for surgery, and at Kalos we provide a full spectrum of care options. Our in-house K-Spa Med Spa offers non-invasive treatments including:
- Dermal fillers to smooth under-eye hollows
- Radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound-based skin tightening
- Custom skincare regimens using clinical-grade products
Why Atlanta Patients Trust Kalos
Dr. Stong is one of the few surgeons in Georgia who is double board certified in both facial plastic surgery and head and neck surgery — a distinction that translates to a deep understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics. Unlike general plastic surgeons who operate on multiple areas of the body, Dr. Stong exclusively focuses on the face, head, and neck. This specialization allows for more precise, balanced, and natural-looking results.
Patients from Buckhead, Midtown, Sandy Springs, and across Metro Atlanta choose Kalos not only for our outcomes but also for our integrity. We never overpromise or push unnecessary procedures. Instead, we educate you on your options and work together to create a plan that aligns with your goals.
