If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and noticed sagging eyelids, puffiness, or fine lines around your eyes making you look tired or older than you feel, you’re not alone. Eyelid blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for rejuvenating the delicate eye area, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance.
With over 20 years of expertise, Dr. Robert Schwarcz, based on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, has perfected this procedure to deliver natural, subtle results that enhance your beauty without altering your unique features.
What Is Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
Eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses common aesthetic concerns around the eyes, including:
Droopy Upper Eyelids: Excess skin that can obscure vision or create a hooded appearance.
Puffy Under-Eyes: Fat deposits causing bags or swelling beneath the eyes.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Loose skin that contributes to a tired or aged look.
Whether performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, this procedure creates a smoother, more youthful contour.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Eyelid blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience. Here’s what happens during the procedure:
Preparation: Dr. Schwarcz makes precise incisions along the natural creases of your eyelids or just below the lash line to minimize visible scarring.
Excess Removal: Excess skin, fat, and muscle are carefully removed or repositioned to improve the appearance of the eyelids.
Closure: The incisions are meticulously closed to ensure a seamless, natural look.
The entire procedure is highly customizable based on your unique needs and desired outcome.
