ToggleWhat Is Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, also called a blepharoplasty procedure, removes excess skin and fat around the upper and lower eyelids to restore a more youthful appearance. A procedure can also be done if your eyelid droops too low over your pupil. This is called ptosis repair. These surgeries can have dramatic results with scars that are often barely visible!

I can’t say enough about the level of kindness and professionalism, and concierge treatment I received at La Femme. Every single interaction was wonderful. Everyone in the office is top notch. Dr. Mason is a shooting star and fast on her way to surgeon stardom (and maybe as a podcaster as well). She is an artist and a perfectionist and is also honest, clear, straightforward, and no nonsense. Incredible bedside manner. By my third visit I felt like we were good friends. ☺️ Best of the best.

Update: Dr. Mason did fix the problem I had from my surgery and they look much better. I still have so much pain in the scars on the left side which is disheartening, but overall I am now happier with the results. I had a breast reduction with Dr. Mason. While the sides where she did lipo did look reduced, my actual breasts never looked that much smaller. I did end up losing 25 pounds which helped later. My disappointment is with my nipples. They look so bad that I am embarrassed to be seen naked now. One is completely puckered/indented on one side. I had discussed fixing it with them and I reached out to them to try to schedule through their portal and they never responded to me. I will probably try to find another doctor at this point to fix it. The doctor did seem to be a nice, kind person when she did my surgery and she did find a breast doctor to remove the benign tumor I had before she did the reduction (at the same time).Posted on Google![]()

I’m so grateful for Dr. Mason and her team. They made me feel safe, well informed, and genuinely comfortable from start to finish. Everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, and they were able to coordinate my consultation and procedure in the same visit, which made everything so much easier. I traveled from out of state to see Dr. Mason because of her reputation, and she truly lived up to it. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I highly recommend Dr. Mason and her team to anyone considering a procedure!Posted on Google![]()

I’ve researched getting a tummy tuck for years, And have had so many consultations, As soon as I went into this office and did my consultation, I knew this was the right doctor for me. The environment is warm and inviting, the entire staff is welcoming and helpful and Dr. Mason was kind, professional, and caring from day one. Unlike other offices, she listened to my concerns and was open and realistic about expectations for my results and never tried to sell me on anything or pressure me into booking. The pricing was direct and upfront, there were no surprises or “add ons” I received everything I was promised and am so happy I found La Femme. I would recommend them to any friends/ family and couldn’t be happier with my results so far.Posted on Google![]()

I am only about three weeks out from surgery so I haven’t realized my full results yet however I cannot say enough, good things about this facility. Every single person who works there is helpful, compassionate and communicative. Dr. Mason’s bedside manner is exceptional. She and her staff walked me through every aspect of the process ensuring I had realistic expectations. Dr. Mason was also very careful to ask probing questions and listen to my response to ensure she was giving me exactly what I wanted Not what she thought I should have. I had no complications thus far and very little pain. From Madison to Genesis and Kara, and the rest of the team I was very well taken care of. I opted to stay over in the surgical facility for peace of mind and I’m glad I did. Tiara looked after me very well and she had a fantastic disposition. She kept a very close eye all night and helped me walk often to ensure I began healing from the get go. Because I’ve not seen my full results yet, I can say that my absolute favorite part is the lymphatic massages with Arlene. She is wonderful, and I love that these were included in the healing process. I only wish I could continue them with her forever! I am so glad I chose them.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Mason and her team are wonderful to work with. I had my consultation for a breast reduction on 12/11/25, and I was approved by insurance within six days. Dr. Mason and her staff were extremely patient and answered all of my questions, whether in person or over the phone. My procedure was on 3/2/26, and the recovery process has been great so far. I’ve even received follow-up calls from Dr. Mason and her team after surgery, which I really appreciated. On the day of surgery, Dr. Mason and her team walked my mom and me through everything before the procedure started, which made me feel very comfortable and prepared. I’m so happy with the results. The final payment is due at the time of your pre-op appointment. My only issue was that it took the staff a little while to give me an accurate final amount. Also, you may have to pay a deductible for the anesthesiologist, and I didn’t find out how much that would be until the day of surgery. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Dr. Mason and her team.Posted on Google![]()

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Mason and her entire staff. From my very first consultation to my surgery day and recovery, they were absolutely amazing — kind, professional, and so supportive every step of the way. I had been nervous for months about getting my breast reduction, but Dr. Mason made me feel completely comfortable and confident. She took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and truly cared about me as a person, not just a patient. Her staff went above and beyond — checking on me, keeping me calm before surgery, and making sure I felt safe and cared for afterward. The whole team radiates compassion and skill. I can honestly say this has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I finally feel lighter, more confident, and free of the neck and shoulder pain I’d lived with for years. Thank you, Dr. Mason & Team!!! 💕💕💕💕Posted on Google![]()

I had a breast reduction and upper back lipo with Dr. Rachel Mason, and the entire experience has been exceptional. I previously had a reduction in 2022 with another surgeon who did great work, but I realized I wanted a further reduction. I was referred to Dr. Mason, and I am so glad I chose her. From the first consultation, I felt comfortable and genuinely cared for. The staff is wonderful — Genesis has been amazing to work with, the office manager is warm and relatable, and their lymphatic masseuse is highly skilled. Dr. Mason herself is kind, soft-spoken, humble, and has a wonderful sense of humor. She made me feel heard, supported, and confident in my decision. A thoughtful touch that stood out was the beautifully packaged aftercare gift bag at my post-op appointment — a small gesture that truly made the experience even more special. I’ll continue to see Le Femme for follow-up care and lymphatic massages, and I highly recommend Dr. Mason and her team to anyone considering surgery.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery is done for too much skin or bulging fat in the area of the upper eyelids. An incision is made in the natural crease in the upper eyelid. Extra skin and fat are removed through this incision. This upper blepharoplasty incision heals to become a very well hidden scar.
Ptosis Repair
This procedure is done for eyelids that are drooping too low over your pupil. Normally, the eyelid is kept in the right position by the muscle that raises your eyelid called the “levator.” This muscle is connected to the hard structure in your eyelid near the eyelashes called the “tarsus.” A drooping eyelid is usually caused by the stretching, thinning, and sometimes breakage of this connection. A ptosis repair uses the same incision as the blepharoplasty to restore the levator’s proper connection to the tarsus.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids for a smoother contour. Depending on what you need, an incision may be made inside your eyelid and/or outside the eyelid in a natural skin crease. Sometimes fat needs to be removed. Other times it needs to be repositioned.
And sometimes, the eyelid itself needs to be tightened. If you live in Charleston, Dr. Mason will can discuss your particular surgical plan with you and determine which form of eyelid surgery is best for your circumstances.

Blepharoplasty FAQS
Who Should Have Eyelid Surgery?
Many women may be good candidates for eyelid surgery. Many times the issues we see with our upper or lower eyelids get worse with age.
Eyelid surgery may be right for you if you feel that:
- Your eyelids seem heavy and give you a tired appearance
- You have extra folds of hanging eyelid skin
- Your eyes seem puffy or have bulging areas of fat
- Your eyes seem too hollow
- Your lower eyelids have folds of skin or fat bulges underneath
What Should I Do To Prepare For Eyelid Surgery?
There are a few preparations that are important before eyelid surgery. It is helpful to see an ophthalmologist beforehand to make sure your eyes are healthy.
You want to get any issues such as dry eyes under control before proceeding with surgery. Make sure you are eating a balanced diet, get enough protein and plenty of rest. This helps with healing. Do not smoke and avoid being around people who are smoking.
What Happens At The Initial Eyelid Lift Consultation?
During the initial eyelid lift consultation, you will be asked about your medical history to ensure you are in good health and a candidate for blepharoplasty. You will then discuss eyelid lift surgery specifically and your cosmetic goals.
Dr. Mason will examine you so you can decide together on the right surgery for your body. Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all. Dr. Mason will customize a plan just for you.
What Will Happen After Eyelid Lift Procedure?
You will be quite bruised and swollen for 1-2 weeks after surgery. During this time, you may need to use eye drops to keep your eyes moist.
Although blepharoplasty is not a particularly painful procedure, the swelling and bruising can be significant, and you may wish to take some time off work. This is the time for you to relax, heal, and take care of yourself.
Do’s And Don’ts For Eyelid Surgery.
Do celebrate your decision. Do enjoy your new look. Do allow your confidence to skyrocket. Do take time to heal and take care of yourself properly. Don’t push yourself too hard. Don’t skip scar care.
Can You Combine Eyelid Surgery?
Opting for upper eyelids or lower eyelid surgery can have remarkable results in achieving your aesthetic goals. Both procedures offer immediate eye enhancement, with long-lasting effects.
It’s common for surgeons to suggest performing both upper eyelids and lower eyelid surgeries concurrently.
How Long Does Lower Blepharoplasty Last?
Lower blepharoplasty, a surgical procedure commonly chosen by eyelid surgery patients dealing with sagging eyelids and excess fat, can provide long-lasting results.
The duration of the effects of lower blepharoplasty can vary from person to person. On average, the results of this procedure can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or even longer in some cases.
How Do You Fix A Droopy Upper Eyelid?
A droopy upper eyelid, often caused by sagging skin and referred to as ptosis, can be corrected through a surgical procedure known as upper lid surgery. This surgery is specifically designed to address the issue of drooping eyelids.
