Refresh tired eyes with expert eyelid surgery in Tampa
If your eyes look tired, puffy, or saggy—even when you’re fully rested—blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) in Tampa may be the right solution for you. At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we specialize in subtle, natural-looking eyelid rejuvenation that restores a more awake, youthful appearance to the eyes. Performed by renowned facial plastic surgeons Dr. J. David Holcomb and Dr. Marc Salzman, blepharoplasty can correct upper eyelid drooping, reduce under-eye bags, and smooth fine lines around the eyes. We combine advanced techniques with artistic precision to deliver results that elevate—not erase—your unique features.

Reduces under-eye bags and excess skin for a smoother, firmer lower lid.
Ideal for patients with under-eye puffiness but minimal skin laxity; incision is made inside the lower lid for no visible scar.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment can be combined with eyelid surgery to refine texture and minimize fine lines.
