Blepharoplasty Overview

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is a highly specialized procedure that targets aesthetic concerns of the upper and/or lower eyelids. Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes can stretch and lose elasticity, leading to sagging skin, puffiness, wrinkles, and in some cases, obstructed vision. Our blepharoplasty in Long Island removes or repositions excess fat, trims loose skin, and restores a more defined and rejuvenated eye contour, offering both cosmetic and functional benefits.

What Are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery offers a range of enhancements tailored to each patient’s concerns, including:

A brighter, more alert appearance
Reduction of puffiness and under-eye bags
Removal of sagging skin that may obstruct vision
A more defined and youthful upper eyelid crease
Smoother under-eye contours and reduced wrinkles
Improved facial harmony and symmetry
Lasting results that elevate overall self-confidence

Types of Blepharoplasty

Dr. Parizh offers both upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures, either as stand-alone treatments or in combination, depending on each patient’s needs:

Upper Eyelid Surgery:

This procedure addresses loose, drooping skin and fat deposits on the upper eyelids. A precise incision is made within the natural crease to remove or reposition tissue, restoring a more open and youthful gaze. In some cases, upper blepharoplasty can also improve vision by eliminating overhanging skin.

Lower Eyelid Surgery:

Focused on rejuvenating the under-eye area, this procedure reduces puffiness, dark circles, and sagging. Incisions are made discreetly beneath the lash line or inside the eyelid, allowing for the careful adjustment of fat and skin. The result is a smoother, more rested look that brightens the entire face.

Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery in Long Island?

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery in Long Island include individuals who:

Have drooping or hooded upper eyelids
Experience puffiness or under-eye bags
Have fine lines, wrinkles, or dark circles around the eyes
Suffer from impaired vision due to excess upper eyelid skin
Want natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal scarring
Are in overall good health and have realistic expectations

During your consultation, Dr. Parizh will carefully evaluate your eye structure, skin condition, and goals to determine the best approach for your unique anatomy.

What to Expect During the Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. The steps may include:

Careful incisions along natural eyelid lines or inside the lower eyelid
Removal or repositioning of fat deposits
Trimming and tightening of excess skin
Precise suture closure for optimal healing

The procedure duration varies but generally takes between one and two hours. Combining upper and lower blepharoplasty can be done safely and efficiently in one surgical session for comprehensive rejuvenation.

What Will Recovery and Healing Be Like After My Blepharoplasty?

Post-operative recovery is straightforward with proper care. You can expect:

Mild bruising and swelling, most prominent within the first week
Temporary sensitivity or tightness around the eyes
Use of cold compresses and elevation to reduce swelling
Suture removal after 5–7 days
A return to light activities within 10–14 days

Full results gradually emerge as swelling subsides, revealing a revitalized and harmonious eye area. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and eye strain during the initial recovery phase.

Can blepharoplasty improve vision?

Yes, particularly in cases where sagging upper eyelid skin obstructs the field of vision. Removing this excess skin can enhance peripheral sight and reduce visual fatigue.

Can I have upper and lower eyelid surgery at the same time?

Yes, combining upper and lower blepharoplasty is common and safe when performed by a qualified surgeon. It allows for comprehensive rejuvenation and a single recovery period.

Will eyelid surgery correct dark circles?

If dark circles are caused by shadowing from under-eye puffiness or fat displacement, lower blepharoplasty may help. However, pigmentation-related dark circles may require additional treatments.

What’s the difference between blepharoplasty and ptosis repair?

Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat for cosmetic or functional reasons, while ptosis repair involves tightening the muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid. In some cases, both can be done together.

Are there non-surgical alternatives to eyelid surgery?

Yes. Options like dermal fillers, BOTOX®, and laser treatments can provide mild to moderate improvement, especially for patients not ready for surgery. These are best for surface-level concerns and temporary results.

How long do blepharoplasty results last?

Results typically last 7 to 10 years, though the aging process continues. Many patients enjoy long-term benefits and may never need additional surgery.

How soon can I wear makeup after eyelid surgery?

Most patients can resume wearing eye makeup about 10 to 14 days after surgery, once incisions are fully healed and any residual swelling has subsided. Dr. Parizh will provide specific guidance based on your recovery.

Will there be visible scars after eyelid surgery?

Scars from blepharoplasty are typically minimal and well-hidden within the natural folds of the eyelids. With proper care, they fade significantly over time and become barely noticeable.
