Eyelid Lift

An Eyelid Lift, or Blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to correct issues such as drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and hooding over the eyes that contribute to a tired or aged appearance. By removing excess skin, repositioning fat, and tightening muscle, an eyelid lift can significantly brighten the eye area and enhance overall facial aesthetics.

• Improved Visual Field: For those with severely sagging eyelids, this surgery can remove the obstruction and broaden the visual field.
• Youthful Appearance: Reduces bags and puffiness under the eyes, lifts drooping lids, and smooths wrinkles to rejuvenate the face.
• Natural Results: Techniques focus on subtle changes that refresh without altering your fundamental appearance.
• Long-Lasting Results: Benefits of an eyelid lift can last for many years, helping patients look younger and more rested over the long term.

Candidates for Eyelid Lift Surgery include individuals who:

• Have sagging or drooping eyelids that affect their appearance or vision.
• Exhibit puffiness or under-eye bags that do not improve with rest or other treatments.
• Are in good general health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the surgery’s outcomes.
• Are seeking long-term solutions for eye rejuvenation.

Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, the eyelid lift procedure involves making precise incisions in the natural creases of the eyelids or just below the lash line. Through these incisions, Dr. Zuckerman removes or repositions fat deposits, tightens muscles, and removes excess skin to create a smoother, more defined eyelid contour.

Recovery from eyelid lift surgery generally involves some bruising and swelling, which diminish within one to two weeks. Most patients find that they can return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days, though complete recovery can take a few weeks. Dr. Zuckerman provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal healing.

Dr. Zuckerman is renowned for his detailed approach and exceptional skill in facial cosmetic surgery. His commitment to achieving natural-looking results that enhance rather than change a patient’s inherent beauty makes him a preferred choice for eyelid surgery in NYC.
