What is a Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure addresses various concerns related to aging and genetics, such as excess skin, fat deposits, and muscle laxity around the eyes.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure can help alleviate the appearance of heavy or drooping eyelids, which can contribute to a tired or aged look. In some cases, upper eyelid aesthetic plastic surgery may also improve peripheral vision by removing obstructive skin folds.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty targets the area beneath the eyes, addressing concerns such as under-eye puffy bags and excess skin. This procedure can help create a smoother, more youthful contour to the lower eyelid region, reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.
Quad eyelid surgery, also known as double eyelid revision surgery, is an advanced cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper eyelids. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals who have previously undergone double eyelid surgery but are dissatisfied with the results or have experienced complications. The quad eyelid approach creates a more defined and natural-looking crease by manipulating the skin, muscle, and fat of the eyelid. It can address issues such as asymmetry, excessive scarring, or an unnatural fold shape from previous surgeries.

Surgeries Combined with a Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can often be combined with other procedures to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. These complementary surgeries can address multiple concerns in a single operation, maximizing results and minimizing recovery time. Two common procedures often performed alongside blepharoplasty are ptosis repair and fat transfer.

Ptosis Repair

Ptosis repair is a surgical procedure that corrects drooping of the upper eyelid. This condition, known as ptosis, can occur due to aging, injury, or congenital factors. When combined with blepharoplasty, ptosis repair not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the eyes but also enhances their function by lifting the eyelid to its proper position. This combined approach can result in a more alert and youthful appearance while potentially improving the patient’s field of vision.

Fat Transfer

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a technique that can be used to add volume to areas around the eyes during blepharoplasty. This procedure involves harvesting fat from another part of the patient’s body, typically the abdomen or thighs, and carefully injecting it into targeted areas around the eyes. When combined with blepharoplasty, fat transfer can help soften hollow areas, reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, and create a more youthful contour. This natural approach to volume restoration complements the rejuvenating effects of eyelid surgery, resulting in a more comprehensive facial renewal.

Blepharoplasty Procedure Overview

Blepharoplasty is a delicate and precise surgical procedure that requires the expertise of a skilled plastic surgeon. At Murray Hill Plastic Surgery & Vein Center, Dr. Sabry employs state-of-the-art techniques to ensure optimal results with minimal scarring. The procedure varies depending on whether it’s performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Technique

Transconjunctival approach (internal incision):

The entire blepharoplasty procedure typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower eyelids are being treated and the extent of the changes required. Dr. Sabry’s expertise in both techniques allows him to tailor the procedure to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial appearance while maintaining your unique features.

While the aging process continues, the results of blepharoplasty can last for many years, especially with proper skincare and sun protection.
Dr. Sabry tailors each procedure to the individual patient’s needs, ensuring natural-looking results that complement your unique facial features.
Incisions are carefully placed along natural eyelid creases or inside the lower eyelid, resulting in scars that are virtually invisible once healed.
