Eyelid Lift

Eyelid Lift or Blepharoplasty is a procedure to rejuvenate tired, hooded and baggy eyes.  As we age the skin around the eyes, which happens to be the most delicate skin on the face, starts to wrinkle and sag first.  The upper eyelids start to "hood" and drop over the eyes themselves.  The lower eyelids do the same but also the fatty tissues tend to bulge as well, making the eyes look puffy and giving the appearance of lacking sleep. 

At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Port Jefferson Station, Long Island, New York, will discuss all aspects of the Eyelid Lift Surgery with you.  Dr. Diehl will also determine whether you are a good candidate for the Eyelid Surgery.

How is Eyelid Lift Surgery performed?

Eyelid Lifts tighten the skin both above and below the eyes, and remove some of the fat that is bulging out. The incisions are particularly invisible. In some cases the fat can be removed from behind the lower eyelid, with no external incision at all.  Eyelid Lifts almost never need to be repeated or retightened over time. 

What is the Recovery from Eyelid Lift surgery like?

In the case of just Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery, sometimes there is no bruising at all, so a long weekend is all that it would take.  With Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery there is some bruising and swelling can be expected.  The Eyelid Lift Surgery is not at all a painful procedure.  Most of Dr. Diehl's patients do not require pain medications and usually are back to work in just a week.

Will there be scars after Eyelid Lift/Blepharoplasty?

In cases of just removing fatty tissues from the lower eyelids, there is no scar at all as the incision is placed just inside of the eyelid.  With Eyelid Lift there is minimum scarring, and as with other scars, Dr. Diehl can place them in areas that are very inconspicuous.  Before your Eyelid Lift Surgery Dr. Gregory Diehl will show you exactly where your scars will be following your surgery.
