Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

The eyes show signs of aging before anything else on the face. With time and sun-damage, the skin and muscle around the eyes become weak causing a droopy, saggy appearance. Additionally the fat pads below the eyes accumulate over time causing the appearance of swelling. Many men and women come to StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center with the complaint that they don't feel as run-down as they appear to be. They are tired of hearing people ask them if they had a bad night's sleep or if they are sad about something. Our Philadelphia blepharoplasty can help reverse the signs of aging and wear of the eyes. Performed by our double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stark can help you look as young and refreshed as you feel inside with an eyelid lift.

What is eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, involves removing excess fat and skin around the eyes. Depending on the patient's particular issues and anatomy, the upper and lower eyelids can be done together (double eyelid surgery) or individually. The goal of the procedure is to create a refreshed, youthful appearance that looks natural.

Instead of asking "what have you had done?", your friends and family will comment on how happy, restful, and refreshed you look. An upper blepharoplasty is a relatively simple, minimally-invasive procedure that can yield dramatic, life-changing results in the right patient.

How is eyelid surgery performed?

Depending upon your needs, Dr. Stark can perform either upper or lower blepharoplasty, or a combination of the two. During your comprehensive consultation at our plastic surgery practice in the Philadelphia area, Dr. Stark will take the time to fully understand your goals and create the safest and most effective surgical plan for you.

Upper
blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty is a very straightforward procedure and can be performed right in the office at StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center under local anesthesia. After making one incision in the crease of the eyelid, Dr. Stark removes excess skin before carefully and methodically closing the incision. His skillful suturing technique as well as the location of the incision allow for the eyelid surgery scar to be completely hidden. The sutures are removed five days post-operatively.

Lower blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty, the eyelid surgery for under the eye, is slightly more involved due to the anatomy and the usual need to remove excess fat, in addition to just skin. For this reason, general anesthesia is necessary for this procedure.

To perform lower eyelid surgery, Dr. Stark makes an incision under the lower lash line or within the eye along the lower eye-lid. Through this incision, Dr. Stark is able to remove the excess tissue carefully, maintaining the underlying muscular support as well as the shape of the eye. Bruising and swelling are typically more severe after this type of surgery than from an upper blepharoplasty but tend to resolve within one to two weeks.

In addition to the excess fat that accumulates under the eye, there is often hollowing that occurs at the junction between the lower eyelid and cheek. A lower blepharoplasty is often combined with fat grafting and lasering to help smooth the skin and blend the appearance of this groove.

Dr. Stark will ensure you feel comfortable the minute you walk into StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center.

As with any surgery, health is of the utmost importance and Dr. Stark will ensure you are taking any necessary supplementation and stop any medications that may interfere with surgery. In addition, Dr. Stark's considerable skill and finesse come through to minimize scarring with every closing suture.
