What Does Blepharoplasty Provide?
Revitalized Youth
Rediscover the liveliness and alertness of your eyes’ appearance with the elimination of aging in the lower and upper eyelids. Transform your drained appearance to a consistently energized and youthful expression.
Illuminated Eyes
Unflattering amounts of sagging and puffy fat tissue can cast excessive shadows and dark circles around the eye area. Blepharoplasty can remove the dullness created by these issues and restore brightness and vibrancy to your eyes’ appearance.
Unhindered Vision
For some patients, an excessive amount of sagging and drooping can begin to hinder one’s range of vision. Blepharoplasty can reverse this aging process by removing excess skin to create a restored and uninterrupted line of vision.
Schedule your consultation with Dr. Pincus to find out if you’re a good candidate for a liposuction.
Do You Have Other Concerns About Blepharoplasty?
Recovery
Swelling and bruising vary considerably between patients. Swelling and discoloration around your eyes will gradually subside, and you will start to look and feel better each day. Bruising usually subsides within the first week of recovery. To conceal noticeable bruising, you may wear makeup or sunglasses.
Your vision may be blurry for a few days, and your eyes may be sensitive to light. To help with this, patients should wear dark sunglasses for a couple of weeks to protect their eyes from the sun. It may also be favorable to wear sunglasses to prevent wind irritation and excessive dryness of the eyes as they heal. Dr. Pincus may suggest eye drops to help relieve any burning or itching.
For the first week, you will need to avoid activities that dry the eyes, including using the computer or watching television. The eyes may tire quickly for several weeks; therefore, frequent naps and several hours of rest are always helpful.
For the first three or four weeks, you should avoid any activity that increases blood flow to the eyes. Dr. Pincus will let you know when you are ready for exercise and intense physical activity.
Results
Patients find that their eyes look more alert, youthful, and bright after the surgery. Though the aging process can never be entirely stopped, patients regularly enjoy and find fulfillment from their appearance for several years after their eyelid surgery. Some patients find that they want to make additional improvements later, although this is typically not necessary for at least five or 10 years.
Scars
Thin scars may remain slightly pink for six months or so, but can easily be concealed with makeup or sunglasses. Eventually, the resulting scar should become flat and inconspicuous, fading and becoming a nearly invisible line that blends with the coloration of your skin. The removal of fat is permanent, but the loss of elasticity in the skin and fine wrinkling of the eyelid area could return in the future due to the natural aging process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I the right candidate for blepharoplasty surgery?
Ideal eyelid surgery patients are those who have excess skin around their eyes. Loss of visibility in the eye due to sagging skin may also make someone a strong candidate for blepharoplasty. Also, patients must be physically and physiologically healthy with no ophthalmic conditions, such as glaucoma or detached retina, and have realistic expectations.
How much does a blepharoplasty surgery cost in New York?
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is unique to each patient’s eyelids, age, degree of sagging, and aesthetic goals. The cost of eyelid surgery will vary significantly depending on the extensiveness of the treated area and external factors like anesthesia, facility fees, geographical region, and pre-surgical tests. You may also want to include prescription pain medications as a possible factor if postoperative pain becomes too uncomfortable for over-the-counter medication.
Eyelid surgery is considered to be elective, and most insurance providers will not cover the procedure’s cost. Dr. Pincus offers financing to help you cover the cost of your treatment.
Should I combine my eyelid surgery with another facial rejuvenation procedure?
While blepharoplasty can be performed alone for men and women whose aging is localized to the eyelid region, many individuals benefit from combining eyelid surgery with facelift surgery or neck lift surgery. Combination treatments help to ensure a balance between the facial features, which contributes to a more natural, rejuvenated appearance.

My experience with Dr.Pincus and staff was amazing. Dr. Pincus is wonderful he made me feel completely comfortable and assisted me in the right direction in the size of my implants so I didn’t need to do a lift. Apparently my surgery ended up being a little more then we thought and I needed extra work and he did an amazing job correcting my breast that was out of place. The staff and nurses are so friendly and make you feel at home here. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to do my implant replacement. I highly recommend Dr. Pincus! — JS
I had gastric bypass surgery 18 years ago and this was the icing on the cake. I told Dr. Pincus I would not wear a bikini I jand that I just wanted to feel better in my clothes. My tummy tuck results were better than I imagined! I just ordered crop top tank tops and cannot wait to wear them! Dr Pincus and his staff are the best! — C.T.
Dr. Pincus and staff are absolutely amazing. I waited a very long time for a Mommy Makeover. Having a rare anesthesia issue Dr.Pincus and his team made sure that I was going to be 100% safe during surgery. After my first consultation I knew I was going to be in good hands. Speaking of hands, his hands are pure gold. I am beyond amazed with the results and I am only three weeks post op. I was extremely specific with certain details regarding my surgery. All I can say is Dr. Pincus understood the assignment!!! I will be forever grateful to all for giving me my confidence back!! Five stars is not nearly enough! — D.Z.
