Correct Aging Eyes With Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty in NJ!

Which features do you notice first on others? For many people, the first point of contact is a person’s eyes. In fact, your eyes are the most attractive and expressive part of your face. At first glance, your eyes not only give away your emotions, they help to define how old or young you look. Over the years, however, factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle choices can lead to dropping eyelids and puffy bags below the eyes, making you look older and even more tired than you actually feel. Correcting aging of the eyes is often accomplished through eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty.

NJ plastic surgeon, Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi, explains that while there are different methods of correcting aging upper and lower eyelids, your plastic surgeon should take a careful assessment of your individual aesthetics. The first step in making a proper diagnosis is determining how much excess fat of the eye a patient is experiencing. Because the upper eyelids consist of thinner skin, they are more prone to showing the first signs of aging. Depending on your individual needs and desires, your plastic surgeon can help you determine which method of blepharoplasty may be right for you.  

Upper eyelift: upper blepharoplasty typically involves the removal of excess skin and fat.  Your surgeon should aim for the most natural look as possible. It is important your plastic surgeon ensures not to remove too much skin in order to avoid a hollowed eye effect.

Lower eyelift: a more complex procedure, lower blepharoplasty can be done in multiple ways. A lower eyelift involves removing, reshaping, and tightening the skin and tissue around the middle and outside areas of the eye.

Both upper and lower blepharoplasty can be combined for an overall natural look of youth. During the procedures, there are three areas of fat your plastic surgeon will target, each of which involve different method of fat removal. These include:

• Medial: have to selectively remove and reposition these areas of fat
• Center: Don’t take out too much fat
• Lateral: needs to be treated aggressively
