What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) is a type of plastic surgery that removes excess skin and tissue from the eyelids. Eyelid surgery is generally requested because of a tired appearance from drooping of the eyelids or excessive puffiness. This is commonly the first requested procedure for individuals seeking to improve their appearance. Dr. Felice believes that surgery on the eyelids should create the appearance of looking invigorated. The incisions should be inconspicuous and the look very natural.

Blepharoplasty is a procedure performed on the eyelids to remove excess skin and fat from around the eyes. This may be to provide a rejuvenated, youthful appearance or to correct a visual obstruction. Signs of aging such as crow’s feet, puffy eyes, and baggy eyes can be corrected. Eyelid surgery may be preformed on the upper and lower eyelids, and may be combined with other procedures, such as brow and forehead lifts, and face lifts.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can enhance the beauty of your eyes and improve self confidence, by removing the appearance of droopy or sagging eyelids. As people age, the eyelid stretches, muscles weaken and fat accumulates around the eyes, causing “bags” or excess skin to become prominent. Considering the time involving the surgery and relatively short post operative recovery, this gives one of the best rewards in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Nosti will evaluate the anatomy and appearance of your eyelids and will give you his opinion on which of the procedures needs to be used and whether the upper and lower lids need to be treated.

Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic change of upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty solves mostly ptosis (drooping of eyelid), fat prolapses or combination of both defects. The surgeon removes excess skin and so-called fat bags (prolapses). If necessary he/she removes also some parts of increased oblique eye muscle. The patient can undergo the upper and lower eyelid surgery at the same time. If there are only fat bags in the lower eyelids and it is not necessary to remove excessive skin, the operation can be done from the inner-conjunctival side of the lid. This is called the transconjunctival version of the eyelid surgery.If you have droopy or baggy lids, medical specialists recommend undergoing eyelid surgery as soon as possible. The results are then much better and will last longer. Usually, eyelid surgery is done for clients older than 35 years of age, but in some cases, it can be done earlier, usually because of a genetic predisposition of the client.
Your eyes are the focal point of your face. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is designed to correct puffy bags below the eyes and wrinkled, drooping upper eyelid skin which can give you a tired, sad, or angry appearance. The incisions are hidden within the natural creases of your upper and lower eyelids so they will heal inconspicuously. This surgery is designed to brighten your entire face and minimize the effects of aging.
