Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, rejuvenates your eyes by removing excess skin and fat, giving you a more youthful and refreshed appearance. At WINK Aesthetics + Wellness by Atlantic Eye in Monmouth County, NJ, our leading oculoplastic surgeons deliver personalized care for every treatment. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results tailored to your unique needs.
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, corrects droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat. Depending on the patient’s needs, this surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. The primary purpose of blepharoplasty is to enhance the appearance of the eyes, making them look more youthful and alert while also improving any vision problems caused by sagging eyelids.
On the day of your blepharoplasty at WINK Aesthetics + Wellness by Atlantic Eye, our plastic surgeons begin by marking the areas to be treated. After administering local anesthesia and sedation, they make precise incisions along the natural creases of your eyelids to minimize visible scarring. The surgeon then removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat to achieve the desired contour.
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower eyelids are addressed. After the incisions are closed with sutures, you will spend some time in recovery before being discharged with detailed aftercare instructions.
Eyelid surgery effectively treats:
Upper Eyelids: Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper lid, improving vision and appearance
Lower Eyelids: Lower blepharoplasty reduces puffiness and smooths out wrinkles and fine lines
Blepharoplasty provides a more youthful, refreshed look by addressing sagging skin in the upper eyelids and bags under the eyes.
Blepharoplasty can be an excellent option for many individuals seeking to enhance their eye appearance or improve their vision. Ideal candidates typically experience droopy or sagging eyelids (eyelid ptosis) that may impair vision, noticeable puffy bags under the eyes, or excess skin with fine wrinkles and lines around the eye area. Blepharoplasty can be performed on the lower eyelids, the upper eyelids, or both. Generally, those in overall good health with realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes make suitable candidates.
However, it’s important to note that certain medical conditions may affect your eligibility for blepharoplasty. Individuals with thyroid eye disease, chronic dry eye, or other serious eye conditions should consult closely with their plastic surgeon to determine if eyelid surgery is appropriate for them. Your doctor will carefully evaluate your medical history, current eye health, and aesthetic goals to ensure that our blepharoplasty at WINK Aesthetics + Wellness by Atlantic Eye in Eatontown, is a safe and effective option for you. Remember, each case is unique, and a personalized consultation is the best way to determine your candidacy for this transformative procedure.
