Eyelid Surgery

Conveniently located to serve Westchester, White Plains, Bronx, & Mt. Kisco

The eyelids are some of the most noticeable areas on the body and are prone to showing signs of aging. The aging eye often results in a tired, angry, or sad appearance. Eyelid surgery can help eradicate droopy skin, discoloration, and puffiness. It will result in a more rested, alert, and energized appearance.

Eyelid Surgery with Dr. Farella

Your eyes are the windows to your soul and one of the most prominent features on your face. Let Dr. Farella utilize his expertise and innate aesthetic ability to rejuvenate this delicate area in Westchester. Allow your beauty to be enhanced and to shine.

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that can be performed on upper eyelids for excessive, wrinkled, drooping skin, and fat deposits, or on lower eyelids for excessive skin or fat resulting in puffy bags. Eyelid surgery can be performed alone or can be performed in conjunction with a facelift or other facial procedures. The upper eyelid incisions are camouflaged in the natural eyelid fold. The lower eyelid incisions are designed just below the lash line. Through this incision excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed. In some cases, the underlying muscle will be tightened. The incisions eventually fade and blend into the natural creases of the eye.

Your Eyelid Surgery will be performed by Dr. John Farella in Westchester County, NY.

Hear From Dr. Farella’s Patients

“I am so happy with my upper and lower eyelid surgery and face lift that Dr. Farella did on 02/13/2019. First of all I look great and it looks very natural. Everyone I see asks me if I lost weight or got a haircut. I look like me only 15 years younger! I felt that the staff gave me great instructions to follow before and after the surgery. Dr. Farella loves what he does and it shows! He is kind, warm and patient. I have been on the fence about getting this done for about 7 years and I am so glad I finally made the decision to choose Dr. Farella. Thank you Dr Farella!” – A Very Pleased Patient

 

Recovery

Following surgery, you will be comforted by our licensed registered nurse while you recover in our private recovery room. You may temporarily experience blurred vision, tightness around the eyes, discomfort, bruising, and swelling (these symptoms vary among individuals).

Within the first week, stitches will be removed. After two weeks, non-strenuous exercise may be resumed, and you may wear contact lenses if needed. For several months the skin around your eyes should be treated with extra care. You should apply sunblock on your eyelids and use sunglasses to protect your eyes from the environment. As with all cosmetic procedures, the final result will be apparent by about one year. The results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting; however, keep in mind that your eyes will continue to age through the years.
