All signs of aging on the face cause a dull, older-than-you-are, worn look. You wake up refreshed (sometimes) but look like you haven't slept at all. This is because, as we age, we gain a heaviness of the eyelids themselves.
If that wasn't frustrating enough, we get wrinkles and sagging skin around the eye area. One or the other of these developments doesn't always lend itself to a tired or aged look. In combination however, these unwanted new features can betray our inner energy and vitality and make us look fatigued and sad. Functionally, these changes can make it more difficult to see. They can also make it more difficult to make ourselves up to face the day! Elevating your lids and restoring the surrounding skin energizes your look to compliment how you truly feel and the way you want to take on the world. An eyelid lift or upper blepharoplasty, achieves this restoration for patients.

This procedure is used to address sagging, droopiness, or puffiness in the upper or lower eyelid. Blepharoplasty provides a youthful, bright, lifted eyelid look. Very precise incisions are used to remove skin, and sometimes fat. After the procedure and healing, the eyelid has a tighter, smoother appearance.
An upper blepharoplasty focuses on the top eyelid and can correct loose, droopy skin. This is used as a cosmetic surgery or sometimes for functional reasons if the skin sags to the point of affecting the vision.
It can be combined with other procedures to obtain an optimal result. Your upper eyelids play a significant role in framing and enhancing the beauty of your eyes. Factors that detract from this beauty are related to aging caused by genetics, sun exposure, and weight fluctuations, among other causes. These changes vary from patient to patient, from having more hooded eyelids due to sagging skin and excess fat, to drooping (or ptotic) eyelids from fat or volume loss. Upper blepharoplasty offers a transformative solution. This cosmetic procedure focuses on rejuvenating your upper eyelids and restoring a youthful, refreshed look. If you're interested in upper blepharoplasty West Palm Beach facial plastic surgeon Chelsea Troiano, MD, has specialized training in upper and lower eyelid cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. She is adept at customizing each procedure to fit each patient’s desired goals while respecting the individual’s facial contours. Following your aftercare instructions carefully can reduce the risk of visible scarring after cosmetic surgery.
This procedure can address under-eye puffiness by removing fat or a sunken appearance by repositioning fat. It is often performed via incisions inside the lower eyelid resulting in minimal to no scarring.
The procedure also addresses excess and sagging skin, and if this is performed, an incision on the skin is made to remove the extra skin that heals beautifully. Because the eyes are the focal point of the face, this relatively small surgical procedure can take years off of your appearance and give you a fresh, energized look. A lower blepharoplasty offers exquisitely natural-looking results with minimal downtime. At Troiano Facial Plastic Surgery in West Palm Beach lower blepharoplasty is a delicate facial enhancement procedure designed to remove excess tissue and reposition fat pads and tissues under the eyes. The goal is to achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance. West Palm Beach lower blepharoplasty provider Dr. Chelsea Troiano takes a personalized approach, considering each patient's unique facial structure, needs, and aesthetic goals. Lower eyelid lifts can be tailored to meet individual requirements. Typically, it involves making incisions along the natural skin folds and repositioning the skin to smooth out lines and wrinkles on the eyelids. This technique can also lift the mid-face or cheeks by repositioning the soft tissues, effectively camouflaging the lower eye rim, and simultaneously reducing excess lower eyelid skin. If there are noticeable fat pads, they can be repositioned to fill hollow areas and restore a youthful contour to the eyelids.
If patients have concerns in both the lower and upper eyelids, a blepharoplasty can be performed in both areas during a single surgery. This offers a convenient single recovery period and can save time and costs.

Of course, patients continue to age after the procedure and therefore the aging process on the lids begins again once healing is complete.
Under-eye bags can significantly impact your appearance, giving the impression of tiredness or sadness even when you feel great. While topical eye treatments and non-surgical enhancement solutions have gained popularity for improving the appearance of moderate to severe lower eyelid concerns, the most effective and precise approach is through facial plastic surgery performed by an experienced physician. Dr. Troiano can carefully address and eliminate most lower lid concerns using appropriate surgical techniques.
