The eyes are often said to be the first feature that others will notice. However, unfortunately the eyes are also one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Sagging, puffiness, and drooping tissue around the eyes can give an unhappy, disinterested, and unhealthy look. To rejuvenate and refresh the appearance, Dr. Leonard Miller, Dr. Akshay Sanan, and Dr. Vickram Tandon will often need to perform blepharoplasty in Boston. This procedure can meticulously lift the lax tissue of the upper lids and reduce puffy bags below the eyes. The blepharoplasty not only improves one’s overall appearance of the eyes, the procedure can actually improve vision when impaired by drooping upper lids.
The blepharoplasty, sometimes referred to as an eyelid lift, is a surgical technique designed to lift and smooth the fragile tissue around the eye. As we age, the thin skin along the upper lid can begin to sag. This wrinkled, lax tissue can age one’s appearance, make applying makeup difficult, and in extreme cases, impair the vision. At the same time, the fat pads below the eyes may begin to push their way outward, causing under eye ‘bags’.
Boston Center for Plastic Surgery’s innovative blepharoplasty technique, performed by Dr. Miller, Dr. Sanan, and Dr. Tandon, can improve the lax skin and puffiness of the upper and lower eyelid through a simple, outpatient procedure, without a long or difficult recovery. Each area may be treated on its own, or the upper and lower lid blepharoplasty may be combined in one procedure.

The ideal candidate for an eyelid lift will be someone who is in overall good health yet is frustrated with thin, sagging eyelid tissue. Before moving forward, potential patients should understand the blepharoplasty procedure, the recovery requirements, and hold realistic expectations for their results. Although this surgical procedure will improve some degree of wrinkling around the eyes, the technique is not designed totally for this purpose. Our surgeons at Boston Center for Plastic Surgery can recommend an additional technique(s) for those looking to smooth Crow's Feet or ease fine lines around the eyes.
To determine if a blepharoplasty in Boston is right for your needs, a private consultation with Dr. Miller, Dr. Sanan, or Dr. Tandon will be scheduled at the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery. At this time, your surgeon will perform an exam of the facial tissues and review your medical history to discuss, at length, your aesthetic goals. After explaining the blepharoplasty procedure, along with the recovery requirements, it will be determined if the eyelid lift is the best treatment to achieve your desired look. If so, Dr. Miller, Dr. Sanan, or Dr. Tandon will then outline a custom-tailored blepharoplasty treatment plan.
The exact cost of your blepharoplasty will depend on the extent of your surgery and if any additional procedures need to be performed. During the consultation appointment, your chosen surgeon will determine the cost of your procedure. Although the eyelid lift is not covered by insurance, the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery offers a variety of payment choices, including cash, all major credit cards, and healthcare financing through Care Credit.

Blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift, is an outpatient surgical technique designed to lift sagging, delicate upper and lower eyelid tissue and remove puffiness. It brightens the eyes, reversing the signs of early aging, and the results can last many years.
The ideal candidate for Blepharoplasty is in good overall health and living with sagging, lax tissue around the upper or lower eyelids. Patients should understand the procedure and have realistic expectations for their results. Blepharoplasty doesn’t take care of the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes; additional procedures may be recommended for that purpose.
IV or oral sedation is generally used during an eyelid lift to keep the patient comfortable during the surgery.
Recovery from a Blepharoplasty procedure typically takes one to two weeks. While minor swelling or bruising may occur, most patients feel well enough to return to work within five to ten days.
Our surgeon’s expert blepharoplasty techniques are considered safe, with all scarring well hidden within the natural folds of the skin and lash line.
