Your eyes are often the first feature people notice about you, but they are also one of the first places to show signs of aging. Loose skin, drooping upper lids, or puffy bags under the eyes can make you look more tired than you feel. We understand how important it is to feel confident about your eyes. That is why we offer blepharoplasty in NYC, a safe and effective eye lift procedure to help you achieve natural looking rejuvenation.
Below, we break down how eyelid surgery works, who can benefit, and what to expect when you trust Ariel Ostad, MD, for your blepharoplasty journey.
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes excess fat from the upper or lower eyelids. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and muscles weaken, causing drooping lids and under-eye bags that can add years to your appearance. By tightening these delicate areas, blepharoplasty creates smoother, younger-looking contours around the eyes.
At Ariel Ostad, MD, we tailor each eye lift procedure to your unique facial structure and goals. For some patients, that may mean an upper eyelid lift to open the eyes and restore a refreshed look. For others, a lower lid lift can reduce puffiness and shadows under the eyes to give patients a more awake appearance.
When you choose blepharoplasty, you are investing in more than just an aesthetic upgrade. You are reclaiming your confidence every time you look in the mirror.
Here is what many patients love about this eye lift procedure:
Your eyes will look refreshed without an overdone or pulled look.
Excess eyelid skin can sometimes interfere with your sight. Removing it can expand your field of vision.
Results can last many years when paired with good skincare and healthy habits.
Incisions are placed within natural creases, making them nearly invisible once healed.
We know your comfort matters, so we always use techniques that support natural healing and discreet results.
Blepharoplasty can help with various concerns that make you appear older or more tired than you feel. If you’ve noticed any of these issues, eyelid surgery may be right for you:
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your unique needs to create a personalized plan that fits your goals.
Healing from blepharoplasty is straightforward for most patients. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, so you can go home the same day. Mild swelling and bruising are normal and tend to fade within one to two weeks. We’ll give you clear aftercare instructions, including keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses to ease swelling.
Most people feel ready to return to social activities in about 10 to 14 days, with final results appearing as swelling fully subsides. We’re here to guide you through every step to ensure you heal comfortably and confidently.
If drooping lids or under eye bags make you look more tired than you feel, blepharoplasty could be the simple solution you have been looking for.
