What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure performed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Depending on your needs and goals, it can be done on both the upper and lower eyelids. By removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids, blepharoplasty can help address common concerns such as:

  • Drooping or sagging upper eyelids
  • Bags under the eyes
  • Puffiness or excess skin on the lower eyelids
  • Impaired peripheral vision due to excess skin

Types of Blepharoplasty

There are two main types of blepharoplasty:

  1. Upper eyelid surgery: In this procedure, an incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and fat, which can create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This can also help improve vision for those with significant drooping or sagging eyelids.
  2. Lower eyelid surgery: This procedure involves an incision made just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid. Excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed or repositioned to reduce puffiness, bags, and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more rejuvenated

What Our Customers Say

Dr. Giyaur's Signature Approach

Dr. Julia Giyaur’s unique blepharoplasty approaches set her apart from others in the field.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Many surgeons primarily focus on addressing skin laxity and excess skin, simply removing it and concluding the procedure. In contrast, Dr. Giyaur takes a comprehensive approach to the entire upper eyelid area, considering the muscles responsible for keeping the eye open and the position of the brow.

Drawing on her background as an ophthalmologist, she offers a unique perspective and the ability to address all eyelid-related issues in a highly personalized manner, which may encompass:

  • Traditional blepharoplasty
  • Ptosis repair
  • Brow lift
  • Skin resurfacing with Opus plasma

During upper blepharoplasty, she addresses muscle issues that simultaneously lift the eyelid (ptosis) and tighten the skin. Additionally, Dr. Giyaur considers the brow position and performs an indirect brow lift if necessary during the blepharoplasty procedure. To enhance results and improve skin quality in the area around the eyes, we typically perform Opus plasma skin tightening as part of the blepharoplasty, as surgical blepharoplasty alone does not address skin quality.

Lower Eyelid: Triple Blepharoplasty

Our method is unique as it combines these three steps as part of lower blepharoplasty, offering a comprehensive approach to achieving natural and rejuvenated results. The surgical procedure begins with lower eyelid blepharoplasty to remove eye bags, followed by the immediate transfer of the patient's own fat from areas such as the abdomen and thighs, and then Opus plasma treatment.

The purpose of these additional services is to enhance the results, create better facial balance, and achieve a more rejuvenated appearance. For example:

  • Removing eye bags often leads to hollowness in the eyelid area and cheek under the eye, caused by the loss of cheek fat pad. This hollowness becomes more apparent after the eye bag removal. To address this, micro fat transfer is performed to restore the natural cheek, stimulate collagen, and create a more rejuvenated look.
  • Following the fat transfer, which contains stem cells that are effective at building collagen and fat cells that provide long-lasting volume, Opus plasma treatment is conducted to tighten the skin around the eyes and produce collagen. The unique aspect of our approach is the focus on restoring a natural, youthful appearance rather than solely removing eye bags.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Consultation

Before undergoing a blepharoplasty, you’ll attend a consultation with Dr. Julia Giyaur, a founding director of New York Laser Vision Aesthetics. As a board-certified ophthalmologist in Manhattan & Brooklyn with over 20 years of experience, she is uniquely qualified to conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine your candidacy.

This appointment includes the following:

  • Discussing your concerns and goals
  • An exam considering factors such as eye shape, skin elasticity, and overall health
  • Measuring your eyelids
  • Tests to assess your tear production and eye health
  • Discussing your medical history and medications or supplements you're taking

Procedure

Depending on your specific needs, a blepharoplasty can be carried out using various techniques. Some standard methods include:

  • Traditional Technique: This method involves making an incision in the natural fold of the upper eyelid or just below the lower lash line. Excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed before the incision is closed with sutures.
  • Transconjunctival Technique: Used primarily for the lower eyelid, the incision is made on the inside of the lower lid. This approach eliminates visible external scars and is best for patients with minimal excess skin.
  • Laser-assisted techniques: Laser technology is sometimes used to resurface skin, usually for patients with significant wrinkles or excess skin.
