Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)

Are you constantly being told you look tired? Or angry? You may not realize the dramatic improvements you can obtain by having your eyes "fine-tuned." Perhaps the fastest way to look younger and more energetic is offered by the eyelid lift, or, blepharoplasty. 

Basically, a blepharoplasty removes excess skin and bulging fat from the upper and lower eyelids that are the stigmata of aging and tiredness. Depending on your preference you may have local or general anesthesia and have the surgery performed in the hospital or in my office. Patients go home shortly after the procedure, to apply ice to their eyelids for 24 hours. Sutures are removed by the fourth or fifth day from incisions in the crease of the upper eyelid and immediately below the lash line of the lower lid. Many times, wearing simple glasses disguises the suture line and allows patients to return to work the next day or shortly thereafter. Any swelling and bruising usually disappears by the second week and may be covered with makeup or glasses. Commonly, by the third week patients socially reintegrate without stigmata of eyelid surgery, even without makeup. 

The media has brought much attention to Dr. Pober's natural looking eyelid lifts for both men and women. For example, "McCall's" magazine featured Dr. Pober's patient shortly after eyelid surgery rid her of the feeling of "always looking tired". The patient was quoted as noting "My real eyes of 20 years ago had reemerged at last, bright and unscarred - the incision line faded completely within a month." 

"Psychology Today" chose Dr. Pober to comment on the topic of "male plastic surgery." Dr. Pober is often sought after by successful executives who want to look their best, brightest, and most energized to get the most out of their active careers and lives. Blepharoplasty offers quick youth enhancement with minimal downtime for recovery; major appeal to the busy executive or most anyone.
