Eyes Wide Open: Blepharoplasty for Eye Repair

Are you unhappy with puffiness, sagging, and wrinkles around your eyes? Excessive skin or swelling around the eyes can give your face an aged and tired appearance. These folds can disturb the natural contour of your face, and in severe cases, even impair your vision.  Blepharoplasty, also known as cosmetic eyelid surgery, can correct these issues, giving you a younger, more alert, and refreshed appearance.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery is most often used to correct displaced fat pads and hollows beneath the eyes. This procedure can also correct malar bags, or severe bags known as festoons underneath your eyes. Bags and circles begin to appear under the eyes, adding age and exhaustion to your appearance. Fat pads are repositioned during this procedure fat may also be used to smooth under eye hollows, and excess skin may be removed to eliminate puffiness or bagginess around the eyes, depending on the severity of your condition.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Heavy or puffy eyelids can cause drooping and sagging skin at the top of your eyes, giving you a look more tired, aged, and even melancholy appearance. In extreme cases, the drooping skin can extend over your eyelashes and restrict your field of vision, a condition often known as “ptosis”.  Correcting ptosis is usually a medical expense covered by many insurance providers. If you’re in search of a procedure to correct your saggy eyelids, upper eyelid surgery may be right for you. By tightening muscles surrounding the eyelids and removing excess skin and fat, upper blepharoplasty surgery will give you a younger, more alert appearance and expand your visual field.

After Surgery

Patients can return home same day following eyelid surgery. Incisions after blepharoplasty surgery are unnoticeable. Sutures are restricted to an invisible incision inside the eyelid or along the eyelashes, left unseen. Swelling and bruising around the eyes can be expected to last up to a week after surgery. Your plastic surgeon will discuss the best post-op care for optimum results. Oftentimes, eyelid surgery in New Jersey is combined with a brow lift, laser skin resurfacing or even a facelift for an more youthful appearance.
