Blepharoplasty in New York, NY | Dr. Benjamin Paul

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a precise surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. This transformative technique addresses aesthetic concerns and functional issues related to drooping or puffy eyelids.

Types of Blepharoplasty

• Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid region
• Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Targets under-eye bags and reduces puffiness
• Combination Blepharoplasty: Comprehensive approach addressing both upper and lower eyelids

Medical Indications for Eyelid Surgery

Beyond cosmetic enhancement, blepharoplasty can address medical conditions such as impaired peripheral vision caused by drooping upper eyelids. The procedure helps restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance while potentially improving visual function.

Surgical Technique and Precision

Dr. Benjamin Paul employs advanced surgical techniques to ensure minimal scarring and natural-looking results. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing for precise tissue manipulation and optimal aesthetic outcomes.

Candidacy for Blepharoplasty

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty include individuals experiencing:

• Excess skin obscuring the natural eyelid fold
• Persistent under-eye bags
• Impaired vision due to drooping eyelids
• Signs of aging around the eye area

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery typically involves minor swelling and bruising, which subsides within 1-2 weeks. Patients can expect gradual improvement in eyelid appearance and function, with final results becoming apparent after several months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries potential risks such as infection, changes in sensation, and asymmetry. Dr. Benjamin Paul provides comprehensive consultations to evaluate individual patient needs and potential outcomes.
