The eyelids are among the first facial features to exhibit signs of aging. As we age, the natural production of collagen in the skin diminishes, leading to a reduction in skin elasticity and resilience. This decline in collagen production can result in eyelids appearing to droop or sag, affecting one's appearance and potentially impeding vision.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can reverse the effects of aging around your eyes by removing excess skin and fat, giving your face a more rested and youthful look. Eyelid procedures fall into two categories: cosmetic blepharoplasty and functional blepharoplasty. Cosmetic blepharoplasties are performed to reduce signs of aging and improve the appearance of the face. They are for aesthetic purposes only. Functional blepharoplasties are recommended by a doctor for medical reasons. They are commonly performed when excess skin on the upper eyelid is so heavy that it weighs down the eyelid and impairs vision.
Eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper, lower or both eyelids simultaneously to yield a dramatically, younger-looking appearance. After thoroughly examining your eyes and discussing your concerns, Dr. Khorasani will help you decide if a blepharoplasty surgery is right for you.
Eyelid surgeries typically treat the following problems:
Embarking on your blepharoplasty journey starts with a comprehensive, in-office consultation at our New York City practice. Dr. Khorasani conducts this personalized session to understand your motivations for eyelid surgery and the specific outcomes you aspire to achieve. Upon thorough review of your medical history, he meticulously assesses your skin condition and facial anatomy, guiding you through the procedure's intricacies, potential risks, benefits, and post-operative care protocols. This dedicated appointment serves as an invaluable opportunity for you to establish a rapport with Dr. Khorasani, gain a comprehensive understanding of eyelid surgery nuances, and address any queries or concerns you may have. Subsequently, Dr. Khorasani customizes a surgical plan tailored to your unique goals, ensuring a confident and informed approach to your treatment journey.
Dr. Khorasani performs blepharoplasties in his Quad A certified OR located within the office, offering the option of twilight (propofol) or general anesthesia. For patients choosing local anesthesia, typically, only two needle pricks are felt on each side of the face, rendering the area numb. Additional oral medications may be provided for pain and anxiety management. During lower eyelid surgery, discomfort may be slightly more pronounced, prompting Dr. Khorasani to administer moderate oral sedation for patient comfort.
In a lower blepharoplasty, incisions will be made along the lower lash lines or on the inside of the lower eyelids. There are no visible scars when the incision is located inside the eyelid, but this approach is not suitable in all cases. Dr. Khorasani will choose the appropriate technique based on what must be accomplished during surgery to give you the best possible outcome.
In an upper blepharoplasty, incisions will be made in the natural creases of the upper eyelids. The length and contour of the incisions will be determined by the amount of extra skin that will be excised during the procedure. Dr. Khorasani will then remove or reposition fat deposits, tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin. This is the most common form of eyelid surgery.
Dr. Khorasani and his team will carefully monitor your healing progress as you visit the office for follow-up appointments. You will be provided with detailed blepharoplasty aftercare instructions that may include the use of cool compresses and lubricating eye drops, sleeping on your back, wearing dark sunglasses and avoiding strenuous physical activity for a period of time. Following these instructions closely will minimize side effects and set you up for a safe and comfortable recovery.
If bruising occurs, you may have to use special makeup to cover the discoloration for seven to ten days. Use of contact lenses can be resumed in one to two weeks. Check out our tips to speed up recovery after eyelid surgery.
