The appearance of your eyelids says a great deal about whom you are, your age, and your mood. As time passes eyelids can droop, sag, and gather excess skin and fat, leading to a tired, aged look. Fortunately, there are 3 excellent treatments that Dr. Gualtieri can use to restore a youthful, energetic look.

Blepharoplasty (blef-are-oh-plas-ty)

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure by which excess eyelid skin and fat are carefully removed to improve the shape, contour, symmetry, and function of the upper and lower lids. This procedure is performed in our office or outpatient surgical center under local anesthesia. Modern surgical tools including lasers and radio-frequency scalpels are employed.

If your droopy upper eyelids are blocking the upper field of vision, a functional blepharoplasty is indicated and insurance usually covers the procedure. If excess skin or fat is the only issue, this is a cosmetic blepharoplasty, and insurance will not cover the procedure. Either way, your results can be dramatic and can turn back the hands of time to create a more youthful appearance.
