The eyes play a pivotal role in facial expression and visual function, making them one of the most important features of the face. Unfortunately, sagging eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags can compromise both aesthetics and eyesight. At New York Laser Vision, under the expert care of Dr. Julia Giyaur, blepharoplasty offers a refined solution to these concerns for patients in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Read on to discover how this procedure can transform both how you see the world and how the world sees you.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the function and appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. By removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle, this treatment addresses common concerns such as drooping lids, puffy under-eyes, and vision obstruction.
The surgery can be performed on:
- Upper eyelids: To lift drooping skin that may interfere with peripheral vision or contribute to a tired appearance.
- Lower eyelids: To eliminate bags, reduce wrinkles, and restore a smoother, more youthful contour.
Functional Benefits: See the World More Clearly
While blepharoplasty is often associated with cosmetic improvement, it also delivers important functional benefits. Excess eyelid skin can obstruct the upper field of vision, making daily activities such as reading or driving more difficult. Eyelid heaviness may also lead to involuntary squinting, eye strain, and chronic fatigue.
By removing the redundant skin and supporting the underlying muscles, blepharoplasty can:
- Restore unobstructed peripheral vision
- Reduce eye fatigue and associated discomfort
- Improve the overall comfort and function of the eyes
Aesthetic Advantages: A Refreshed, Youthful Look
At New York Laser Vision, Dr. Giyaur takes a personalized, artful approach to eyelid surgery. Her techniques do more than simply remove skin; they create facial balance and rejuvenate your appearance without making you look overdone.
Benefits include:
- Brighter, more open-looking eyes
- Smoother under-eye area with less puffiness or hollowness
- Reduced fine lines and improved skin texture
- Enhanced facial symmetry and harmony
Dr. Giyaur’s triple-approach to lower eyelid surgery combines fat removal, fat transfer, and Opus plasma skin tightening to achieve a naturally revitalized look. For upper blepharoplasty, she also considers brow positioning and muscle strength, ensuring a holistic and lasting result.
Is Blepharoplasty Right for You?
If you are over 35 and experiencing vision obstruction, under-eye bags, or a consistently fatigued appearance, you may be a strong candidate for blepharoplasty. Even younger individuals with hereditary eyelid issues can benefit from this surgery.
Dr. Giyaur conducts a detailed consultation that includes eye exams, facial assessment, and a review of your health history to determine whether blepharoplasty is appropriate for you.
