Eyelid Surgery Bloomfield

Before and After Pictures

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. He has performed the procedure in individuals from age 32-75. Both upper and lower eyelids can be modified at the same time, but many times only upper or lower eyelids require surgical intervention.

The eyelids must be evaluated in a very methodical fashion. The position of the eyebrows may indicate that a forehead lift would be preferential. In these instances where the eyebrow lies too low, performing an upper eyelid lift would make the eyebrow look closer to the lid and thus an unfavorable result. As well, the tone of the skin and muscle of the eyelids must be studied. Do the elevators function properly? Are there other disorders affecting the eyelids that would dictate another type procedure? A multitude of questions go through the minds of experienced plastic surgeons like Dr. Felice; questions that must be addressed before proceeding with any surgical procedure.
