Connecticut Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid Surgery Overview

Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) enhances the appearance of your eyes by eliminating excess skin and smoothing the eye area. Are you concerned about "bags under your eyes"? Does extra skin under your eye, furrowed lids or sagging upper eyes make you look old and tired? Does sagging skin from your upper eyelids impair your vision?

Your exact procedure depends on your specific desires combined with your eyelids' general physical condition, the effect of sun damage, your skin's thickness and elasticity, already existing wrinkling, the amount and distribution of eyelid fat, your underlying bone structure, allergies, heredity, and other factors to be discussed with Board Certified Connecticut Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Singer in our Westport offices. The most important factors determining the final appearance of your eyes is your surgeon's sense of aesthetics, understanding of eyelid anatomy and technical skills. An Eyelid Lift can help you achieve eyes that appear larger and more attractive resulting in a brighter, more alert new look.

Depending on some of the factors discussed above, you may need a simple eyelid lift, or a combination of several procedures. Eyelid Lifts are often combined with Browlifts to smooth the forehead and laser skin resurfacing to smooth crow's feet around your eyes. Dr. Singer will determine the best combination of procedures to achieve your desired result.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Eyelid Surgery was the third most common procedure for women and second most common procedure for men in 2000.
