Eyelid Surgery Philadelphia

The area around the eyes ages more definitively than many other areas of your face. The muscles around the upper eyelids lose some of their elasticity and begin to droop, causing the eyes to appear tired. Areas of fat tissue underneath your eyes may also become more pronounced, leading to puffiness. Philadelphia Board Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bucky uses blepharoplasty to tighten the muscles around your eyelids and remove the excess fat tissue, thereby opening your eyes and creating a younger appearance that looks completely natural. Dr. Bucky provides exceptional patient recovery care.

Your Individual Goals

Your goals will be discussed realistically with Dr. Bucky. Blepharoplasty is often performed in conjunction with other facial surgeries. Together you will decide which procedures Dr. Bucky will perform in order to achieve your desired results. You will set a date for surgery and be given instructions on how to prepare.

Eyelid Lift Procedures Details

Your eyelid lift cosmetic surgery is performed under local anesthesia. For the upper eyelid, Philadelphia Board Certified surgeon Dr. Bucky makes incisions following the natural lines of your eyelids. Dr. Bucky will generally conceal the incision within the natural fold of your upper eyelid. He then removes any excess skin and fatty tissue.

For a lower eyelid cosmetic procedure, Dr. Bucky often conceals an incision below your lower lashes. Through this incision, he removes any excess skin, muscle, and fat. In some cases, Dr. Bucky may redistribute this fat to eliminate puffiness or bulges around your eyes. Dr. Bucky works with a Board Certified operating team. Following your blepharoplasty procedure you can anticipate a rapid recovery rate with Dr. Bucky’s extensive post-operative care program. You will have access to a vitamin regimen, a personal nurse, and Dr. Bucky will check on you mornings and afternoons. Lymphatic massage is available at your request.
