Blepharoplasty New York, NY | Dr. Douglas Steinbrech

Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery

Eyelid surgery, known medically as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyes. As individuals reach middle age, eyes can develop a tired, puffy, or saggy appearance that progressively worsens with time. Dr. Douglas S. Steinbrech, an award-winning plastic and reconstructive surgeon in New York City, specializes in performing precise and transformative eyelid surgeries.

Key Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Revitalized Appearance: Eliminates wrinkles and sagging skin
• Enhanced Vision: Removes obstruction caused by drooping eyelids
• Quick Recovery: Minimal downtime with significant aesthetic improvements

Procedure Overview

Blepharoplasty involves carefully removing or repositioning excess skin and fat around the upper eyelids. The surgical technique focuses on creating natural lid folds, improving peripheral vision, and tightening loose skin around the eye corners. This outpatient procedure typically uses local anesthesia and provides long-lasting results.

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery include individuals experiencing loose skin around the eyes, puffiness, and wrinkles that create an aged appearance. Patients should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Steinbrech employs advanced surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring. Strategic incision placement ensures natural-looking results while addressing functional and aesthetic concerns associated with aging eyes.
