Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty
As people age the eyelid stretches, muscles weaken, and fat accumulates around the eyes, causing "bags", or excess skin to become prominent. Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, is performed to eliminate droopy or sagging eyelids.
During your
complimentary consultation with Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon, Douglas M. Senderoff, MD, FACS, you
will have the opportunity to speak to him about any
questions or concerns you have pertaining to eyelid
surgery.
The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and
women who are physically healthy, psychologically
stable, and realistic in their expectations.
Generally patients for this procedure are typically
over 35 years
old. However, if sagging eyelids run in your
family, it is commonplace to have eyelid surgery
at a younger age.
Traditional eyelid surgery is commonly performed by
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Douglas M.
Senderoff, MD, FACS, to improve drooping upper
eyelids and remove puffy bags of the lower lids.
There are variations of the eyelid surgery operation
including transconjunctival eyelid surgery, laser
resurfacing eyelid surgery, and lower eyelid
resuspension surgery. Board Certified Plastic
Surgeon, Douglas M. Senderoff, MD, FACS, will
discuss all these options with you.
