What can I expect during blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) surgery?
During upper lid blepharoplasty incisions are made in the lid upper lid crease. Extra fat and skin are removed from the upper lid and the incision line, sewn with fine sutures, is hidden in the upper lid fold when healed.
In lower eyelid surgery, the incision is made in the natural crease right below the lash line. Skin and fat are then removed and delicate sutures bring the skin edges together hidden in the natural fold beneath the lashes. If only fat needs to be removed from the lower lid, the fat is removed through an incision on the inside surface of the lower lid, thus completely hiding the incision and not involving any skin healing.
In both upper and lowe lid surgery, skill and judgement are required to avoid leaving a hollowed-out appearance by removing too much fat.

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
