Eyelid Lift Voorhees Township, NJ | William Franckle, MD, FACS

Understanding Eyelid Lift Procedures

As individuals age, skin naturally loses elasticity, causing deflation, sagging, and puffiness around the eye area. Many aging men and women experience aesthetic and functional concerns with their eyelids, such as tired appearances or vision impairment due to excess skin. An eyelid lift, medically known as blepharoplasty, can address these issues, restoring both form and function to the eye region.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Lift Surgery

Qualified candidates for an eyelid lift typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Significant sagging around upper eyelids
• Wrinkling of upper or lower eyelid skin
• Excess eyelid skin causing vision obstruction
• Absent or diminished natural upper eyelid crease
• Fat deposits creating puffy or bloated eyelid appearance

Procedure Details

Dr. Franckle performs eyelid lift procedures under carefully selected anesthesia, ranging from intravenous sedation to general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed within natural eye creases to minimize visible scarring.

Upper Eyelid Procedure

For upper eyelid rejuvenation, an incision is made in the natural eyelid crease. This allows Dr. Franckle to reposition fat deposits, tighten muscles, and remove excess skin, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Lower Eyelid Approach

Lower eyelid procedures involve an incision just below the lash line, enabling precise fat repositioning and skin tightening. Sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape are used to close the incision.

Complementary Treatments

Patients may enhance their eyelid lift results with additional non-surgical treatments such as:

• BOTOX Cosmetic for wrinkle reduction
• Juvederm dermal fillers
• LATISSE for eyelash enhancement

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically involves:

• Suture removal within 4-6 days
• Mild discomfort managed with oral medication
• Bruising and light sensitivity for 1-2 weeks
• Swelling reduction within 1-2 weeks
• Final results visible in 4-6 weeks

Cost Considerations

Eyelid lift costs vary based on individual surgical requirements:

• Upper or lower eyelid: $4,000-$4,500
• Upper and lower eyelids: $6,000-$7,000
