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.

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Eyelid Surgery – For “hooded” eyes, this procedure focuses on eliminating saggy skin, excess fat, and other unwanted features from the upper eyelid.
Lower Eyelid Surgery – For “eye bags”, lower blepharoplasty is best suited for individuals with bags under their eyes. This treatment aims to address laxity and excess skin under the lower eyelids to give you a less tired and more youthful look.

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.
