Blepharoplasty New York, NY | Manhattan Surgical Care

Understanding Blepharoplasty in New York City

The eye area is often the first region to show signs of aging and fatigue. Blepharoplasty offers a sophisticated solution for individuals seeking to address cosmetic and functional concerns around the eyes. This specialized procedure helps patients achieve a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance by addressing sagging skin, bags, drooping eyelids, and puffiness.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, muscle, and occasionally fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The technique effectively eliminates drooping or sagging eyelids caused by aging or genetic factors, resulting in a more youthful and alert eye appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Suitable candidates for blepharoplasty typically include:

• Individuals in good general health
• Non-smokers
• Patients without serious eye conditions
• Those experiencing excess fat and skin around eyelids
• Individuals with vision impairment due to overhanging upper eyelid skin

Surgical Procedure Details

Manhattan Surgical Care performs blepharoplasty using precise surgical techniques. Incisions are strategically made along natural eyelid creases—within upper lid folds and just beneath lower lash lines. Through these carefully planned incisions, Dr. Pakeman removes and repositions tissue to achieve optimal results.

Procedure Characteristics

• Duration: One to three hours
• Anesthesia: Local with sedation or general
• Incisions: Placed within natural eyelid contours

Combination Treatment Options

Blepharoplasty is frequently combined with complementary procedures like brow lifts or facelifts. This comprehensive approach allows patients to address multiple facial rejuvenation concerns simultaneously, potentially minimizing overall recovery time.

Recovery and Aftercare

Proper post-operative care is crucial for optimal outcomes. Patients are advised to maintain head elevation, apply cold compresses, and follow specific instructions provided by Dr. Pakeman. Most individuals can return to normal activities within several days, though complete healing may require several weeks.
