Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Pearl River, NY | Dr. Michael A Fiorillo and Advanced Plastic Surgery and Medpa

A Defining Feature: Premier Plastic Surgery for Youthful Eyes

Two-thirds of adults consider the eyes to be the most defining feature of the face. Eyelid surgery, or Blepharoplasty, offers a safe procedure with minimal downtime to improve appearance and boost confidence.

Multiple factors like aging, sun damage, smoking, and obesity can cause eyelids to droop and sag as supporting tissues deteriorate. The thin eyelid skin is particularly susceptible to these changes, often making individuals appear older or more fatigued than they truly are.

Understanding Blepharoplasty in Pearl River

Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery that enhances the overall appearance of upper and lower eyelids by:

• Tightening muscles and tissue
• Removing excess fat and skin
• Creating a more youthful, refreshed look

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

The best candidates for Blepharoplasty in Pearl River are individuals who:

• Are in good overall health
• Are non-smokers
• Have no serious eye conditions
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

At the Pearl River office, Blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure can target upper or lower eyelids and typically takes 45 minutes to 2 hours.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Fiorillo makes precise incisions along natural eyelid creases to:

• Reposition fat deposits
