Dr. Tuggle's expertise gave me back bright, alert eyes and clearer vision that better reflect my professional confidence.
"I was concerned about appearing tired during important client meetings, and my peripheral vision was becoming limited by droopy lids. Dr. Tuggle's expertise gave me back bright, alert eyes and clearer vision that better reflect my professional confidence. The recovery was more comfortable than I anticipated, and both the aesthetic and functional results exceeded my expectations."

Are Your Eyes Making You Look More Tired Than You Feel?
When you feel energetic and confident inside but catch yourself avoiding mirrors or reaching for extra concealer, your eyes may be telling a story you don't want to share. That moment when someone asks if you're tired - even after a great night's sleep - can be frustrating and disheartening.
Your eye area ages faster than anywhere else on your face - the skin is thinner and in constant motion. What begins as subtle hooding or small under-eye bags can progress until you no longer see the vibrant person you know yourself to be. When drooping lids start interfering with reading or driving, the issue becomes functional as well as aesthetic.
Eye creams and non-surgical treatments can only address surface-level concerns. When the underlying structure has changed due to aging, muscle laxity, and skin elasticity loss, surgical intervention provides the most effective and lasting solution.
At Sandia Cosmetic Facial Surgery, we understand that your eyes should reflect the vibrant person you are inside. Our Eye Rejuvenation Package addresses both upper and lower lid concerns while enhancing your natural beauty rather than changing your fundamental appearance.
Our Philosophy: Enhance your natural features so you look refreshed and alert, never overdone.
Upper & Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery Our comprehensive blepharoplasty addresses both upper and lower lids in one procedure for balanced, harmonious results.
This comprehensive treatment normally costs significantly more when procedures are performed separately.
Upper Eyelid Issues
Hooded lids
That make eyes look smaller and may impair vision by blocking your natural field of sight
Droopy, sagging skin
That creates a tired appearance even when you're well-rested
Excess skin
That can obstruct peripheral vision during daily activities like reading, driving, or using computers
Lower Eyelid Concerns
Under-eye bags and puffiness
Ccaused by fat deposits that create unwanted shadows.
Dark circles and discoloration
That make you appear fatigued regardless of sleep quality
Loose, crepey skin texture
That ages your overall appearance and makes concealer less effective
Complimentary CO2 Laser or Under-Eye Peel
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Fractional laser technology smooths fine
lines, improves skin texture, and stimulates collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin around the eyes.
Under-Eye Chemical Peel
Targets pigmentation, fine lines, and surface irregularities using medical-grade acids to reveal brighter, smoother skin with improved tone and clarity.
During your consultation, we'll determine which treatment best addresses your specific skin concerns for optimal rejuvenation results.
Dr. Eric Tuggle brings over 15 years of dedicated experience in facial cosmetic surgery, with particular expertise in eyelid procedures. His refined techniques and artistic approach ensure natural-looking results that enhance your unique features.
We utilize precision laser technology for incisions, which minimizes bruising, reduces healing time, and creates virtually invisible scars once fully healed.
Our approach focuses on restoring a youthful, alert appearance while preserving what makes you uniquely beautiful. We enhance your natural features rather than creating an artificial or overdone appearance.
Rather than addressing isolated concerns, we evaluate your entire eye area to create balanced, harmonious results that complement your facial structure and personal aesthetic goals. When appropriate, this procedure can also improve functional concerns such as vision obstruction caused by excess upper eyelid skin.
"Professional photography no longer causes me anxiety. My eyes appear bright and alert in every image. This procedure significantly enhanced my confidence in both professional and personal settings. Dr. Tuggle's artistic approach delivered exactly what I hoped to achieve."

"Colleagues frequently ask about my skincare routine or if I've been getting better sleep. The surgical technique Dr. Tuggle used created such natural results that people notice I look refreshed without identifying what changed. The precision of his work is remarkable."
– Susan K., 52, Educator
Our surgical philosophy centers on natural enhancement rather than dramatic transformation. Dr. Tuggle uses techniques that preserve your natural eye shape while addressing signs of aging. The objective is for people to notice you appear refreshed and alert, not that you have undergone surgery.
Most patients find the procedure more comfortable than anticipated. We employ advanced pain management protocols, and the majority of patients require only over-the-counter medication beyond the initial recovery period.
If excess upper eyelid skin is obstructing your peripheral vision, eyelid surgery can provide significant functional improvement in addition to aesthetic enhancement. Dr. Tuggle will evaluate any vision concerns during your consultation.
Most patients plan for approximately one week of social downtime. Return to professional activities typically occurs within 5-7 days, though minor residual swelling may persist. Complete recovery develops over approximately two weeks.
Initial improvement is noticeable immediately, with final results developing over 3-6 months as swelling completely resolves. Results typically maintain their appearance for 10-15 years.
Absolutely. During your consultation, we will discuss whether CO2 laser resurfacing or an under-eye peel would better address your specific skin enhancement goals.
Ideal candidates are healthy adults concerned about droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, or tired-appearing eyes. During your consultation, Dr. Tuggle will evaluate your specific concerns and determine the optimal approach for your individual goals.
Your satisfaction represents our highest priority. Dr. Tuggle stands behind his surgical work and will address any concerns during follow-up appointments. We maintain a conservative approach and can make refinements when appropriate.
