WHAT IS EYELID SURGERY

at Concierge Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or an eyelift, is a surgical procedure that modifies the shape and appearance of the eyelids and underlying support structures. The eyes are a central focusing point of the face and significantly influence its overall appearance, and loose skin or drooping eyelids can potentially cause us to look older or chronically tired. By removing excess skin and lifting sagging eyelids, a blepharoplasty can rejuvenate your eyes, making you look younger and more energized.

EYELID SURGERY FAQs

EYELID SURGERY FAQS

Eyelid surgery may be performed on the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, or both eyelids.

Blepharoplasty upper eyelid: Upper eyelid surgery is commonly known as a lid lift, or “eyelift.” While upper eyelid surgery is typically performed for cosmetic reasons, it can also improve function by improving vision and alleviating headaches. During the procedure, Dr. Epstein makes an incision along the natural crease of the eyelid. Through the incision, he may remove excess skin, remove or reposition excess fat, or tighten the eyelid muscles.

Blepharoplasty lower eyelid: Lower eyelid surgery is performed primarily for cosmetic reasons. The procedure is done using one of two methods:

  • In one method, Dr. Epstein makes an incision below the lower eyelash in a natural skin fold or crease. Through the incision, Dr. Epstein removes or repositions skin or fat, and may tighten the eyelid muscle.
  • With the other method, Dr. Epstein makes an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid. This is called a transconjunctival incision. This technique does not remove excess skin, but can remove or reposition periorbital fat.

Once complete, externally visible incisions are sutured using removable stitches, which results in less scarring. The procedure may be performed under general or local anesthesia and typically lasts one to two hours. You will be able to go home the day of your surgery.

During your consultation, Dr. Epstein will assess your situation and listen to your aesthetic goals. From there, he can advise you on the technique best suited to deliver optimal results.

While a blepharoplasty can turn back the clock on your appearance, it does not stop the aging process. Your blepharoplasty results will eventually fade with time, but many patients enjoy their rejuvenated look for up to a decade.
Dr. Epstein conceals his incisions in the natural structure of the eyelid, with scars blending into the natural creases or folds of the periorbital skin.
The cost for eyelid surgery varies per patient. Several factors affect blepharoplasty cost. Some of these include:
  • eyelid and skin type
  • number of eyelids involved
  • anesthesia and surgical center fees
  • medication prescription costs

To determine how much eyelid surgery may cost you, book a consultation with Concierge Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery. After a physical assessment, prices will be covered in detail. If this procedure is right for you, we will customize a treatment plan that meets your needs and matches your budget. We will also discuss financing options and other ways to save on eyelid surgery cost.
