Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in New York and New Jersey

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as a blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that focuses on rejuvenating the appearance of the upper and or lower eyelids. The surgery addresses excess skin, fat and muscle that can make eyes appear tired or aged.

The procedure restores a more youthful and refreshed look by removing drooping skin and fat from the upper lids. It also addresses concerns of puffiness, “bags under eyes”, wrinkled and saggy skin to lower lids by removing skin, fat, or muscle.

Given how sensitive eyelids are, our team at Moskovitz Plastic Surgery advise that our patients should also receive a pre-operative assessment from an oculoplastic surgeon since there are some risks involved with eyelid surgery, especially with lower lids.

Eyelid Surgery in New York and New Jersey helps improve the overall balance and harmony of the face.

FAQs

Yes, other facial procedures can be combined, such as a browlift, face or neck lift with your eyelid procedure. Dr. Moskovitz can discuss the best combination of these procedures to address your concerns according to your individual needs.

Eyelid surgery offers long lasting results but does not stop the aging process. Some subtle changes can occur over the years, but proper skincare and sun protection can help maintain the results longer.

Recovery can be anywhere from 10-14 days depending on the surgical plan. Most patients who have their upper lids done only can return within 7-10 days and lower lids within 14 days.

We recommend that our older patients be seen by their ophthalmologist to confirm the eyes are healthy and cleared for surgery.
