Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Long Island
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.

Blepharoplasty FAQs
Can blepharoplasty improve vision?

Will eyelid surgery correct dark circles?

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.
