Brighten Your Eyes With Blepharoplasty in NJ

Most people agree that the eyes are the initial point of contact when meeting another person for the first time. When our eyelids are droopy, sagging, puffy, and wrinkled, we want to turn back the clock, and that’s precisely what eyelid surgery with Dr. Aydin will do. Because eyelid surgery (also called an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty) tightens and lifts sagging eyelid skin, this surgery helps patients look younger, less tired, and more rejuvenated. It can be done on the upper lids to raise hooded or droopy eyelids and on the lower lids to remove eye bags and tighten loose skin.

What Is a Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery, clinically known as blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and fat and tightens the underlying muscles as needed to return a younger, more rested look to the eyes. And since the eyes are the focal point of the entire face, eyelid surgery has a real impact on your appearance.

Year in and year out, blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries because its results are dramatic, yet at the same time, subtle. Most people have no idea that you had eyelid surgery, only that your face somehow seems younger and refreshed.

Are You a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

If you do not have any pre-existing medical conditions, such as unaddressed eye diseases, that preclude you from the procedure, and you want to improve the look and function of your eyes, you are a good candidate. Eyelid surgery is popular with both women and men because drooping eyelids, wrinkles, and puffy bags make a person look much older. More and more men are opting to have the procedure to compete with younger counterparts in the workplace. Good candidates for blepharoplasty still have good tone in their facial muscles and tissue.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Dr. Aydin can address the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both during your customized eyelid surgery.

Upper Blepharoplasty

When addressing the upper eyelids during your blepharoplasty procedure, Dr. Aydin focuses on removing excess skin that creates a hooded appearance, which often contributes to a tired or aged look. The procedure typically begins with a precise incision along the upper eyelid's natural crease so that the resulting scar is well-concealed within the fold of the eyelid once healed. Through this incision, Dr. Aydin carefully trims away excess skin and removes or repositions fat, depending on your needs. Small amounts of muscle may also be removed if necessary to achieve a more defined eyelid crease.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery primarily corrects bags under the eyes, often caused by bulging fat and skin laxity. The incision is made just below the lashes or inside the eyelid (a transconjunctival approach), which helps hide the scar. From this incision, Dr. Aydin will address excess fat that contributes to puffiness and bags. Depending on your specific condition, excess skin may also be removed, or the skin may be tightened and resculpted to better contour the lower eye area, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed appearance. In some cases, fat may be redistributed to eliminate hollows under the eyes, enhancing the smooth transition from the eye to the cheek.

Dr. Aydin and his staff are amazing! I had my lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Aydin. From the initial consultation to the procedure day, Dr. Aydin and the staff made me feel comfortable and explained every step of my procedure thoroughly. He texted me hours after my procedure and the day after to make sure I was ok. The OR staff was excellent. I know I probably asked them the same questions a million times, and they were very helpful and comforting.

Blepharoplasty Recovery in NJ

One of the great things about blepharoplasty is the fast recovery from surgery. After the procedure, your eyelids will likely be covered with light gauze. You will be given an eye lubricant and cold compress. Bruising and swelling are minor, particularly if you are diligent with the compress. After a week, stitches are removed, and your eyelids will generally look normal, only younger!
