Brighten Your Look: The Transformative Power of Eyelid Surgery

Do your eyes feel like they tell a different story than how you feel inside—tired, heavy, or older than you are? At Dermatology + Plastic Surgery, we understand how much the appearance of your eyes can impact your overall confidence. That’s why Dr. Rebecca Novo, expert in blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), is here to help you refresh your look and restore a more youthful, energized appearance.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a highly precise cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the eye area. It targets concerns such as:

• Drooping or sagging upper eyelids
• Puffy under-eye bags
• Excess skin that may obstruct vision
• Uneven or asymmetrical eyelids

Using advanced techniques, we skillfully remove excess skin and/or fat to create a brighter, more open-eyed look that mirrors your inner vitality.

Why Consider Eyelid Surgery?

People choose blepharoplasty for a range of cosmetic and functional benefits:

1. Rejuvenated Appearance: Lifting sagging skin and reducing puffiness can dramatically refresh your facial appearance..
2. Improved Vision: Clearing excess skin from the upper lids can expand your field of vision.
3. Increased Confidence: Looking more like your best self often leads to feeling more like your best self.
4. Lasting Results: Blepharoplasty offers improvements that can endure for decades.

What to Expect: Your Blepharoplasty Experience

Personalized Consultation

Every journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Novo. We’ll take the time to understand your goals, examine your eye area, and create a customized plan that fits your facial features and lifestyle.

The Procedure

Upper Blepharoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, while lower lid surgery remains outpatient – we advocate general anesthesia for meticulous blood pressure control and comfort. Depending on whether you’re addressing the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, surgery generally takes 1–3 hours.

Recovery and Results

You can expect some swelling and bruising for the first 1–2 weeks. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery. Most patients begin seeing noticeable improvements within a couple of weeks, with full results continuing to reveal themselves over a few months.

Are You a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if you:

• Are in good general health
• Do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations
• Do not have serious eye conditions
• Do not require prescription blood thinners 

Each patient is unique, and our team will evaluate your full medical history to ensure eyelid surgery is a safe and effective option for you.
