Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, can enhance your appearance and your
self-confidence by eliminating droopy or sagging eyelids. As people age
the eyelid stretches, muscles weaken, and fat accumulates around the
eyes, causing "bags", or excess skin to become prominent. During your
complimentary consultation with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Douglas
M. Senderoff, MD, FACS,he will assess which of the four
eyelids (top and bottom for both eyes) require the procedure.
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 35 years or
older. However, if sagging eyelids run in your family, it may be
advisable 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.
These characteristics often make people look tired, unenthusiastic and
appear older than their age.
The traditional eyelid surgery procedure is the second most common
aesthetic surgery performed today on men and women, according to the
American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. While it does a
good job at addressing the problems described above, there are other
cosmetic concerns, such as crow's feet around the eyes which are not
necessarily corrected with traditional eyelid surgery. Laser skin
resurfacing in combination with Botox® injections around the eyes can be
done in combination with eyelid surgery.
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.
Eyelid surgery is routinely performed on patients from their early
twenties through their seventies. The eyelid surgery procedure is
performed in our fully accredited surgical facility in Manhattan.
If you have any questions about eyelid surgery (transconjunctival eyelid
surgery, laser resurfacing eyelid surgery, and lower eyelid resuspension
surgery) or any other plastic surgery procedure please feel free to
contact us at our Manhattan or Westchester offices.
Eyelid Surgery F.A.Q.
What about insurance?
Eyelid problems are common, even in younger people. Correcting eyelid
problems that interfere with your vision may be covered by your health
insurance. However, when eyelid surgery is performed for cosmetic
reasons, it may not be covered in part or in whole by your health
insurance. We will help you determine if your insurance provider
provides eyelid surgery coverage.
Can anyone undergo this procedure?
As with all facial cosmetic surgery, good health and realistic
expectations are prerequisites. People with circulatory, ophthalmologic,
or serious medical conditions must rely on the diagnostic skills of
their own personal specialists to determine
