Signs of aging around the eyes can begin to appear even in earlier adulthood. Even small changes can lead to a tired look to the eyes or even the entire face. Eyelid surgery allows you to revitalize and rebuild a youthful appearance that will last for years. As a leading oculofacial surgeon, Dr. Mahsa Sohrab provides fully tailored eyelid surgery in White Plains and Westchester County.
Upper eyelid heaviness is caused by excess skin and pockets of fat, and many people find that the aging process leaves them with a perpetually tired appearance. Upper blepharoplasty repositions the eyelid tissues to create a newly refreshed appearance. Your eyes can look larger, more alert, and balanced with your facial structure.
Bags, dark circles, loss of volume, and more can all impact the lower eyelid area over time. Lower blepharoplasty focuses on removing fat deposits and tightening the area so patients no longer look perpetually fatigued. We know you do not feel tired on the inside, so you should not have to look like it on the outside.
Aging rarely has the mercy to affect only one part of the body. Many patients will have concerns about both their upper and lower eyelid areas, making quad blepharoplasty the ideal solution. This procedure combines both upper and lower eyelid surgery into a single procedure for comprehensive results.
Dr. Sohrab provides eyelid surgery for women and men alike, tailoring the procedure to match your individual goals for your appearance. If a tired or aged appearance continues to impact your self-image, then eyelid surgery is likely the right choice. The first step is to work with Dr. Sohrab during a consultation visit to explore your treatment options. She will go over your individual situation and goals to build a tailored treatment plan that crafts the appearance you want.
Though each procedure has individual personalized elements, the overall structure will be similar. Dr. Sohrab will go over your plan’s individual features before your surgery so you will know precisely what to expect.
Patients will have local anesthetic or sedation. Local anesthetic is often preferred, but the right option depends on your needs and health. Either way, we ensure you feel no pain during surgery, with both options providing a safer patient experience.
The surgical process involves tiny incisions that are made in the eyelid’s natural creases. This keeps any scarring out of sight. The incisions allow Dr. Sohrab to reposition tissues to create a tighter, more youthful contour.
A single procedure should take between 1 and 2 hours, but quad eyelid surgery may be about 3 hours on average. Dr. Sohrab will provide a personalized time frame ahead of your surgery based on your procedure details.
Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure, so you can return home the same day. However, you are welcome to rest in a comfortable recovery room until you are ready to go home.
The initial recovery period entails about 1 to 2 weeks of downtime away from work. Most swelling, bruising, and pain should fade by the end of this period. However, full recovery can take several months (though you will not have limitations for most of this period). This later period mostly entails waiting for residual swelling to fade.
Your first benefits should begin to appear after about 2 weeks, once most swelling and bruising are gone. You should now look younger, refreshed, and renewed.
Final results depend on when all residual swelling fades. Though this swelling is not noticeable in itself, it still needs to fade before your tissues fully settle into their permanent positions. This can take about 3 months for most patients.
Dr. Sohrab designs her procedures to maximize result longevity. She wants you to look great not only today but also years down the line. Upper eyelid surgery can last for about 5 to 7 years on average. For lower eyelid surgery, results usually last 10+ for many patients. Good skin care and a healthy routine are ideal for prolonging your benefits.
Eyelid surgery allows patients to reclaim their appearance and look a way that matches how they feel. Start your journey today by scheduling a consultation for eyelid surgery in White Plains and Westchester County with Dr. Sohrab.
