What is Involved in Upper Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Dr. Prasad, as one of the top plastic surgeons for eyes in Manhattan and Long Island has distinguisehed himself by his natural and balanced approach to upper eyelid surgery. Upper eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, surgically repairs eyelid problems removing the excess skin, muscle, and fatty tissue that tend to accumulate. Dr. Prasad hides the incision in the natural creases above the eyelids so that even without makeup, these scars are very difficult to see over time. In fact, many hairdressers refer their clients to Dr. Prasad because they admire his artistry.

Bruising and swelling is common after surgery and can take about a week before it is less noticeable. Cold compresses are used in the first 48 hours to minimize the bruising and swelling. Pain medications are rarely necessary but for some people who experience mild discomfort, Tylenol is usually adequate.Your eyes may feel sticky, dry or itchy for a week so eye drops and ointments will be given to keep the eyes moist and comfortable.Stitches which are usually of the absorbable type are typically dissolved by one week.After about a week or so, patients may wear make-up and a good pair of sunglasses will go a long way.Contact lenses can usually be worn in about two weeks.Most people return to work in about a week.
The highest compliment is when someone sees you after eyelid surgery and can’t tell why you look so good (“did you change your hairstyle?”)
