What is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of your eyes and corrects impaired peripheral vision.

The surgery may involve removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from your upper and lower eyelids. Though you might choose this surgery for aesthetic reasons, when Dr. Goldberg removes the excess drooping skin, it also helps you see better.

What can I expect during my blepharoplasty procedure?

Dr. Goldberg ensures you remain comfortable throughout your procedure, starting with local anesthesia. Using state-of-the-art equipment, he can reshape your upper and lower eyelids to improve their appearance and promote better functionality.

He might remove or reposition fat before closing your incisions. At that time, it’s also possible to pair this procedure with eyebrow or forehead lifts to give you the best results. You can rely on Dr. Goldberg’s experience to give you the best outcome possible.

Is blepharoplasty right for me?

You might be a candidate for blepharoplasty if you have:

• Heavy upper eyelids
• Sagging lower eyelids
• Impaired vision
• Headaches due to heavy eyelids
• Hollowed eyelids
• Dark circles under your eyes
• Wrinkled or puffy eyelids

To rejuvenate your eyelids, blepharoplasty might be your answer. Dr. Goldberg consults with you to help determine if this procedure is the correct fit. If so, he can match your unique eyelid condition to your desired outcome.

What can I expect after blepharoplasty?

Be sure to arrange for a family member or friend to drive you home after your surgery. That is because the anesthesia can interfere with your balance and mental clarity. Dr. Goldberg provides post-surgery instructions, including how to keep your eyelids clean.

Your recovery won’t last long, but you can experience temporary swelling and bruising during the healing process. Don’t worry. That is normal. Avoid strenuous activity for about a week until Dr. Goldberg lets you know it’s okay to get back to your daily routine.

You don’t have to live with droopy eyelids or poor vision. To schedule your blepharoplasty consultation with Dr. Goldberg, call the office or request an appointment online today.
