Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery is performed by making a careful incision along the eyelid's natural fold. This incision removes excess skin, and if necessary, small amounts of fat and muscle are removed or repositioned for a smoother, more youthful eyelid contour. The incision is closed with fine sutures, leaving any minor scar well concealed within the natural eyelid crease. Benefits from this facial plastic surgery include:

  • A more alert and rejuvenated appearance.
  • Improved field of vision if excess skin was obstructing it.
  • A smoother, more defined eyelid crease.
  • Long-lasting results that can refresh the face.
  • Reduced puffiness and the appearance of bags on the upper eyelids.
  • A more youthful-looking eye area that can enhance overall facial aesthetics.

What to Expect After Surgery

After an upper blepharoplasty in Long Island, patients typically experience some swelling and bruising around the eyes, which peaks within the first week and then gradually subsides. There may be mild discomfort, but this can generally be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It's essential to keep the head elevated and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. Sutures are usually removed after about a week, and most patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities within 10 to 14 days. It's important to follow Dr. Parizh’s specific aftercare instructions, including protecting the eyes from sunlight and avoiding strenuous activities for a short period, to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery and stunning results.

Blepharoplasty FAQ

Can blepharoplasty improve vision?

Is blepharoplasty effective for correcting ptosis?

Can I undergo blepharoplasty if I have dry eyes?

How long do results from blepharoplasty last?

Are there non-surgical alternatives to blepharoplasty?

Can blepharoplasty improve vision?

Yes, in cases where the upper eyelids are heavily drooped due to excess skin (dermatochalasis), a functional blepharoplasty can be performed to remove the obstructive skin, potentially improving the peripheral vision and reducing eye strain.

Is blepharoplasty effective for correcting ptosis?

While blepharoplasty primarily addresses excess skin and fat, ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid due to muscle weakness or nerve issues) requires a specific surgical technique to tighten the muscle that lifts the lid. Often, ptosis repair can be combined with blepharoplasty for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Can I undergo blepharoplasty if I have dry eyes?

Patients with dry eyes need to be evaluated carefully before undergoing blepharoplasty. Removing too much skin or altering the eyelid's natural position can exacerbate dry eye symptoms. In some cases, more conservative approaches may be recommended.

How long do results from blepharoplasty last?

The results of blepharoplasty can be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits for 10 years or more. However, natural aging processes continue, and some patients may choose to undergo minor revisions or additional treatments in the future to maintain their results.

Are there non-surgical alternatives to blepharoplasty?

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments that can provide mild to moderate improvement in the eye area. These include fillers for under-eye hollows, BOTOX® for crow's feet and slight brow lifting, and laser resurfacing to tighten skin and improve skin texture.
