Blepharoplasty, for Rejeuvenation or Improved Vision
Your Manhattan ophthalmologists at Eye Care on 5th (25 5th Ave., #1A) want you to have the best possible experience in terms of eye health and overall vitality. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, improves the condition of either upper or lower eyelids, or both. It rejuvenates the area surrounding the eyes, resulting in a younger and more rested appearance.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Blepharoplasty
- Upper eyelid surgery removes excess of fatty deposits that build up puffiness in the upper eyelids.
- Lower eyelid surgery removes fine wrinkles and some excess skin of the lower eyelid.
- Eyelid lift surgery helps to treat loose/sagging skin that has built folds on the upper eyelids or is disturbing the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision.
- Blepharoplasty successfully corrects the appearance of “bags” under the eyes.
- Lower eyelid surgery corrects droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye).
