Blepharoplasty, or cosmetic eyelid surgery, enhances the appearance of the eyes by removing sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle from the eyelids. The procedure is customizable to address concerns in the upper, lower, or both eyelids for a refreshed and natural-looking result.

  • Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin that creates a droopy or hooded appearance. It can also improve vision if sagging skin obstructs eyesight.
  • Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags and puffiness by removing or repositioning fat to create a smoother contour.

This procedure is ideal for individuals who want to reduce signs of aging around the eyes and achieve a refreshed, natural-looking result.

Understanding the
Procedure Techniques
Dr. Solomon offers both upper and lower blepharoplasty, utilizing advanced methods to produce natural, harmonious results.

Upper Eyelid Surgery
  1. An incision is discreetly placed in the natural upper eyelid crease to eliminate excess skin, fat, and, when necessary, a small section of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
  2. Scarring is well concealed due to the strategic placement of the incision.
  3. This technique reduces hooding, relieves eyelid heaviness, and creates a youthful, refreshed contour.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
  1. For the lower eyelids, Dr. Solomon makes an incision inside the eyelid to ensure there are no external scars.
  2. To achieve a smooth, youthful contour, fat beneath the eyelid is redistributed into the upper cheek area, blending the lower lid with the cheek.
  3. Unlike traditional techniques, Dr. Solomon avoids cutting the orbicularis muscle, which reduces complications and promotes better healing.
  4. In advanced aging cases or weak lower lids, a tacking suture is placed to provide additional support during healing.

Learn about
Recovery & Aftercare
The recovery process for blepharoplasty is usually quick, allowing most patients to get back to their regular activities within one to two weeks. As an outpatient surgery, blepharoplasty allows you to recover at home the same day. Mild swelling and bruising are common afterward and can be managed with ice packs. A prescribed eye ointment will help keep the eyes moist during healing.

To ensure optimal healing, follow these aftercare tips:

 

  • Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling.
  • Keep your head elevated while sleeping.
  • Refrain from intense physical activity for a minimum of two weeks.
  • Use prescribed eye drops or ointments as directed.
  • Shield your eyes from sunlight with sunglasses.

 

Recovery typically takes 7–10 days, with noticeable improvements appearing by the third week. As the swelling continues to subside, your eyelids will look more refreshed and youthful. Full results will develop over the next 3–4 months as your eyelids fully heal and settle.
Dr. Solomon’s team will offer comprehensive aftercare instructions to help you heal comfortably and achieve optimal outcomes. Follow-up visits will ensure your recovery progresses smoothly and any concerns are promptly addressed.
