At NYFACEmd and Oasis Medi-Spa New York, we know that the eyes are the most attractive feature of your face and are often called the “window to your soul.” As we get older, eyelid skin loosens and the eyebrows become droopy, making eyes look tired and heavy. The loose skin may hang down over the eyelashes like a shade, obstructing your vision. The fat under the eyes can pooch out, creating bags.
A blepharoplasty procedure, also known as an upper or lower eyelid lift, can surgically improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess fat and skin. Our surgeons are experts at blepharoplasty, often repositioning the fat to prevent the eyes from looking hollow or sunken. Incisions are hidden and often invisible. Advanced lasers are used to resurface the skin. In this fashion, eyelid surgery can restore your youthful appearance, making you look rested and years younger.
Who Should Have Blepharoplasty?
It is important that you are in good health and do not have any pre-existing eye problems. At NYFACEmd and Oasis Medi-Spa New York, your health comes first – we always make sure to get medical clearance from your primary care doctor and arrange for ophthalmology (eye) clearance. Patients with certain endocrine disorders may not be eligible for eyelid surgery due to the increased risk of swelling and other issues involving the eyes.
Eyelid surgery can be performed on patients of any ethnicity seeking to reduce the appearance of aging around the eyes, or who have blockage of their vision. These patients are often told they “look exhausted” or “annoyed” even when they are not.
