If you are concerned about droopy eyelids, consider getting blepharoplasty. This plastic surgery procedure tightens the skin and muscle in the area below the eyes, and corrects drooping eyelids (ptosis) and bags. Along with aesthetic issues, New York City blepharoplasty also corrects functional issues such as impaired peripheral vision by removing excess tissue from the upper eyelids.
The area around the eyes is prone to the signs of aging. With time, the tissues begin to sag, the brows droop, and skin and fat accumulate in the upper eyelid. These changes can make people look weary and older than they are. Moreover, sagging upper eyelids can also impair vision. Eyelid surgery is a very reliable solution for these concerns and can refresh and rejuvenate the upper eye area. NYC blepharoplasty can treat various conditions in the upper and lower eyelids such as
- Bags and puffiness under the eyes
- Loose and sagging skin that causes folds in the upper eyelid
- Wrinkled or drooping eyelids
However, not all people are good candidates for eyelid surgery. Generally, a blepharoplasty ideal candidate is a healthy person who is troubled with excess loose skin on their upper and/or lower eyelids that they would like to get corrected. He/she should be a non smoker, and have healthy facial tissue and muscles. It is also important the patient has realistic expectations about the improvement that can be achieved and not look for perfection.
After determining that you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty, experts will conduct a detailed evaluation to identify the concerns that need correction, such as low brow position, drooping brows, excessive eyelid skin, muscle, and fat, upper eyelid droop, and lower eyelid retraction and slackness. Based on the relationship of these conditions to each other as well as to the other structures of the face, they will recommend the most appropriate surgical procedure.
Leading plastic surgery practices such as bodySCULPT in NYC offer both traditional and advanced blepharoplasty. The procedure removes fatty tissues using a special instrument and in some cases, the muscle tissue is repositioned or removed. However, the incisions will be made in discreet areas to limit visible scarring. The traditional technique comes with long downtime and recovery than advanced blepharoplasty techniques. Laser blepharoplasty is an advanced option that causes hardly any visible scars and comes with minimal discomfort, downtime, and shorter recovery. When performing upper blepharoplasty, blunt-needle anesthetic injection is used to reduce postoperative bruising, hematoma and pain. The method used for New York City blepharoplasty procedures will vary from patient to patient based on the individual considerations.
bodySCULPT’s plastic surgeons have developed Smartbleph, a unique upper eyelid rejuvenation technique using Cynosure’s SmartSkin laser. This treatment results in a bright youthful look in addition to naturally arched eyebrows and long, thick eyelashes. However, if you want more extensive facial rejuvenation, then you may want to consider a facelift in NYC.
