Dr. Zuliani recommends blepharoplasty to patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their eyes due to age or–in some cases–genetics. Based on each patient’s individual case, Dr. Zuliani can help to determine whether upper, lower, or both eyelid surgeries would be most beneficial. In some cases, the sagging near the eyes may be the result of a sagging brow. For these patients, Dr. Zuliani would instead recommend a brow lift.
The goal of upper eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is to address signs of aging associated with the upper eyelids. This may include drooping, sagging, or wrinkling of the upper eyelids. Dr. Zuliani may also perform this procedure to treat congenital defects, such as Ptosis, a drooping or falling of one or both eyelids (often referred to as “lazy eye”).
Lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty helps to address concerns with the area beneath the eyes. This may include puffiness or bags beneath the eyes caused by the accumulation of fat or excess skin. Men and women considering lower eyelid surgery often feel as though they appear constantly tired.
