Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty (EYELID SURGERY) Procedure

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a transformative procedure intended to rejuvenate the eye area by removing excess fat and skin. As we age, drooping upper eyelids and under-eye bags can develop, making one appear older and more fatigued than they truly feel. In some cases, these droopy eyelids can even obstruct vision. At Aestique Plastic Surgery in Warrendale, PA, Dr. Lazzaro, one of Pittsburgh's most experienced cosmetic eyelid surgeons, employs advanced techniques in blepharoplasty to provide patients with a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Blepharoplasty at Aestique Plastic Surgery, performed by Dr. Lazzaro, takes one to two hours under MAC/sedation anesthesia. Incisions for the upper eyelids are made along the natural crease, while for the lower eyelids, they're placed either below the lash line or inside the lid. Recovery spans about a week to 10 days, with results offering a lasting youthful appearance. For a revitalized look, book your eyelid surgery with Dr. Lazzaro.
