Blepharoplasty in Monmouth County, Jersey Shore, and West Long Branch

Eye bags, sagging skin, and wrinkles around your eyes can add years to your age and contribute to an unappealing facial appearance. Eyelid Surgery, also known as Blepharoplasty, eliminates skin laxity and reduces fat around the eyes that may be caused primarily by aging, sunburn, or genetics. This treatment involves tightening the skin around the eyelids, removing wrinkles, eliminating fat, and reducing puffiness around the eyes.

Upper Eyelid Surgery – For “hooded” eyes, this procedure focuses on eliminating saggy skin, excess fat, and other unwanted features from the upper eyelid.

Dr. Vemula’s Approach

Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Vemula understands that the needs of each patient are different. For that reason, he seeks to understand all your needs and concerns, then crafts a personalized treatment plan to give you the results that you desire. During upper eyelid surgery, the surgeon will make an incision along the eyelid’s natural crease to either remove or relocate fat tissues. He’ll then trim excess skin from the eyelid and close the incision using fine sutures. During lower eyelid surgery, Dr. Vemula may make an incision below the lower eyelash or perform a transconjunctival incision inside the eyelid, depending on the patient’s skin elasticity.

Planning Eyelid Surgery in Monmouth County

Before the surgery, Dr. Vemula will provide strict instructions that should be followed to ensure that you have a successful surgery without any complications. You’ll need to have someone to drive you home after the procedure as well as help out with tasks at home. 

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure that is usually performed under general anesthesia as well as being performed in the office under local anesthesia. The surgery takes about 1 or 2 hours to complete. You will likely experience slight bruising and swelling around the eyes. This is normal and dissipates within a few days. Dr. Vemula will schedule a post-op appointment within 7 days to have your stitches removed. Most of his patients take about 10-14 days to recover. Dr. Vemula will let you know when you are allowed to apply makeup on your eyes and engage in strenuous activities. Scars from the incision sites may appear conspicuously red and can take up to 6 months to heal. 

Dr. Vemula performs eyelid surgery in state of the art accredited facilities supported by a board-certified anesthesiologist and a highly skilled nursing team. The cost of this procedure depends on the patient’s problem areas. An exact cost will be given to the patient after their evaluation from their consultation.

Eyelid Surgery FAQs

Will the scars be visible?

Scars resulting from eyelid surgery are not visible if performed by a professional plastic surgeon like Dr. Vemula. Every incision should be sizeable and made in a less conspicuous manner to give more natural results. If you have concerns about scarring, make sure to discuss this with Dr. Vemula during your visit to V Plastic Surgery.

Can I combine Blepharoplasty with other cosmetic procedures?

Eyelid surgery can restore with other cosmetic procedures such as brow-lift, Botox, mid-face lift, and laser or chemical skin rejuvenation. Dr. Vemula will help you select the best procedure regimen to give you the results that you are looking for.

Are the results permanent?

Eyelid surgery results may last longer if this procedure is performed by a highly trained plastic surgeon like Dr. Vemula. The results of the procedure can vary depending on the individual’s skin elasticity. Other factors such as lifestyle, aging, and genetics may influence the longevity of your procedure. Due to aging, it’s not uncommon to notice substantial laxing of the skin around your eyes due to aging.

Does gaining weight reverse the results of this procedure?

Losing weight changes the size and shape of your face which then can affect the result of your Blepharoplasty. Gaining weight means that excess fat will return around your eyes which may give you hooded or baggy eyelids.
