About This Procedure
What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the eye area by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It addresses hooded lids, under-eye bags, puffiness, and drooping that make you look tired, aged, or angry — even when you feel rested and vibrant.
At IRIS Aesthetics in Longmont, CO, eyelid surgery is Dr. Adrianna Jensen's primary specialty. As a fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon, she completed years of advanced training focused exclusively on the eyelids, orbit, and periorbital structures. This level of subspecialty expertise is unmatched by general plastic surgeons or cosmetic practitioners — eyelid surgery is not something she learned alongside other procedures; it is the foundation of her entire career.
Whether your concern is cosmetic (looking more awake, youthful, and refreshed) or functional (upper eyelid skin blocking your peripheral vision), Dr. Jensen delivers precise, natural results with hidden incisions that heal virtually scar-free.

What to Expect
Consultation
Meet Dr. Jensen for a thorough evaluation of your eyelid anatomy, discuss your goals, and review your medical history. If functional blepharoplasty may apply, visual field testing is performed.

The Eyelid Specialist
Dr. Adrianna Jensen
Fellowship-Trained Oculoplastic Surgeon · 30+ Years
Eyelid surgery is not just a procedure Dr. Jensen performs — it is the very foundation of her surgical career. After completing her ophthalmology residency, she pursued a competitive fellowship in oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery, a subspecialty devoted entirely to the eyelids, orbit, lacrimal system, and surrounding facial structures.
This means Dr. Jensen has a deeper anatomical understanding of eyelid tissue, musculature, and fat compartments than virtually any other type of surgeon. She has performed thousands of blepharoplasty procedures over 30+ years, making her one of the most experienced eyelid surgeons in Northern Colorado and the entire Front Range.
When you choose an oculoplastic surgeon for your blepharoplasty, you are choosing the only surgical specialist whose advanced training is focused exclusively on the structures you are entrusting them to operate on. That distinction matters.
