Top 5 Reasons to Consider Blepharoplasty

Are you looking to refresh your appearance and regain a more youthful, vibrant look? Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, might be the solution you’re seeking. At Rothaus Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, Dr. Kenneth Rothaus specializes in this transformative procedure that can rejuvenate your eyes and overall facial appearance.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic eyelid surgery that involves removing excess skin, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure can address various concerns related to aging eyes, including drooping eyelids and under-eye bags.

Top 5 Reasons to Consider Eyelid Surgery

1. Rejuvenate Your Appearance

Eyelid rejuvenation can dramatically improve your overall facial appearance, making you look more youthful and refreshed. As we age, our skin starts to sag, and fat pads can become more apparent. A blepharoplasty directly targets these concerns and can help to open up the eyes, providing a more alert appearance.

2. Improve Vision

In some severe cases, drooping upper eyelids can obstruct vision. An upper eyelid blepharoplasty can remove this excess skin, potentially improving your field of vision and making daily activities easier.

3. Boost Confidence

Many patients report feeling more confident after their eyelid surgery. With a more youthful and less tired appearance, you may find yourself feeling more self-assured in both personal and professional settings.

4. Minimize Under-Eye Bags

Lower eyelid surgery can effectively reduce the appearance of under-eye bags by removing the visible fat bulges and trimming away excess skin. This can be particularly beneficial for those who often look tired despite getting enough sleep.

5. Long-Lasting Results

The results of a blepharoplasty are typically long-lasting. While the natural aging process will continue, many patients enjoy their refreshed look for years to come.

Why Choose Dr. Rothaus for Your Blepharoplasty in Manhattan?

Dr. Kenneth Rothaus is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial rejuvenation procedures. Educated at Yale College and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Rothaus brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every procedure he performs.

At Rothaus Plastic Surgery, we prioritize patient safety and satisfaction. Our state-of-the-art facilities in Manhattan provide a comfortable, welcoming environment for your cosmetic journey.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

An upper eyelid blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. The patient is awake during the surgery but comfortable because of the lidocaine injections which numb the entire area.

A lower eyelid blepharoplasty is performed under sedation with a board-certified anesthesiologist. This is done in our office-based accredited operating room and takes anywhere from 1-1.5 hours to perform.

The incisions are made discreetly so after the stitches are removed, you cannot see the scar.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from blepharoplasty is generally quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. To ensure a smooth healing process, follow these tips:

• Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling
• Keep your head elevated while sleeping
• Avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks
• Protect your eyes from sun and wind
• Follow Dr. Rothaus’ post-operative care instructions carefully
