Understanding Eyelid Surgery in Manhattan

Eyelid surgery addresses signs of aging in the upper and/or lower eyelids, including lax, droopy skin, puffy bags, and fine lines. As a highly requested board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, Dr. Mark H. Schwartz offers a delicate and precise approach to revitalizing the eye area.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Schwartz carefully evaluates each patient during a consultation, examining the eyes for:

Loose or sagging skin around the eyes
Noticeable wrinkles
Puffy under-eye bags

Suitable candidates typically:

Have noticeable signs of aging caused by sun damage, stress, or smoking
Are in good overall health
Have no chronic eye conditions
Maintain realistic surgical expectations

Surgical Procedure Details

Eyelid surgery is performed at Dr. Schwartz's on-site surgical facility under sedation by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The procedure can address upper and/or lower eyelids through strategically placed incisions.

Upper Eyelid Technique

For upper eyelids, Dr. Schwartz makes incisions along the natural crease, removing excess fat and skin while repositioning existing fat deposits to create a youthful contour.

Lower Eyelid Approach

Lower eyelid treatment involves an incision just below the lash line or a transconjunctival approach for removing excess skin and fat. Laser resurfacing may complement the procedure to tighten surrounding skin.

Recovery and Results

Post-operative side effects like swelling and bruising are mild and temporary. Patients receive comprehensive aftercare instructions, with sutures typically removed five days after surgery. Results become progressively more refined as post-operative swelling subsides.
