Your eyes are one of the most expressive features of your face, and they deserve to shine. Unfortunately, aging can cause loose skin, puffiness, and changes to the shape of your eyelids, making you appear tired or older than you feel. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and restore the youthful appearance of your eyes, giving you a refreshed, vibrant look.

Why Choose Dr. Richard Levine for Blepharoplasty in South Florida?

Dr. Richard Levine, our highly skilled and board-certified cosmetic surgeon brings over two decades of expertise to the art of blepharoplasty. As a leading physician in South Florida, Dr. Levine has helped patients achieve natural, impressive results using the latest surgical techniques. His dedication to patient care, combined with his precision and artistry, ensures that each procedure is customized to suit your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that corrects issues such as drooping eyelids, puffiness, and bags under the eyes. These concerns often result from aging or genetics and can cause both cosmetic and functional issues. By removing excess skin and fat and tightening the muscles around the eyes, this procedure can restore a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.


There are three main types of blepharoplasty:

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on the upper eyelids, addressing concerns like drooping or sagging skin that can impair vision or give the eyes a hooded, tired appearance. During the procedure, Dr. Levine carefully removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue to restore a smooth, youthful look. This procedure is particularly effective for patients who feel their upper eyelids make them look older or less alert.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty targets puffiness, under-eye bags, and dark circles that can develop due to fat displacement and skin laxity. Dr. Levine uses advanced techniques to remove or reposition fat deposits, tighten sagging skin, and create a smoother, more rested appearance under the eyes. This procedure is ideal for those who struggle with persistent puffiness or deep tear troughs that can make them look fatigued.

Combination Blepharoplasty (Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery)

For patients seeking a complete rejuvenation of the eye area, a combination of upper and lower blepharoplasty offers comprehensive results. This procedure addresses both sagging upper eyelids and under-eye bags in one surgery, providing a balanced, refreshed look. Dr. Levine customizes each combination blepharoplasty to ensure that both the upper and lower eyelids are harmoniously rejuvenated for a naturally youthful result.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

  • Rejuvenated Appearance: Restores the natural contour of your eyelids for a more refreshed and youthful look.
  • Boost in Confidence: Many patients feel more confident after surgery, knowing their appearance better reflects how they feel inside.
  • Improved Vision: Removes excess skin that can droop over the eyes and impair your field of vision.

Is Blepharoplasty Right for You?

If you notice drooping eyelids, puffiness, or fine lines around your eyes, blepharoplasty might be the ideal solution. Dr. Levine specializes in assessing your individual needs and goals to recommend a customized treatment plan. At any age, eyelid surgery will rejuvenate your appearance and enhance your facial harmony.

Dr. Levine’s Approach: Expertise Meets Precision

Dr. Levine combines years of surgical expertise with a deep understanding of facial aesthetics. His approach to blepharoplasty goes beyond simply removing excess skin—he carefully sculpts the eyelid area to preserve fullness and restore a natural, youthful appearance. With meticulous attention to detail, Dr. Levine ensures that your results look seamless and balanced with your overall facial features.

What to Expect During and After Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery is typically an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia in the comfort of our office. The surgery typically lasts about 1-2 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower lids are treated. Dr. Levine will make small incisions along the natural crease of the eyelids to minimize scarring.

Recovery: Patients can expect some swelling and bruising after surgery, which typically subsides within a week or two. Most patients feel comfortable returning to daily activities after about 10-14 days.

FAQs

You should generally wait two to three weeks after blepharoplasty surgery before applying makeup around your eyes, or until your incisions have fully healed.

While eyelid surgery is highly effective in addressing sagging or hooding of the upper eyelids, it does not directly treat crow’s feet—those fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes. Treatments like Botox are better suited for smoothing out crow’s feet.
