Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty in Miami, Florida

by Aventuracosmetic Surgery aventuracosmeticsurgery Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty

At the Aventura Center for Cosmetic Surgery, located just north of Miami, eyelid surgery is one of our most highly requested, and most satisfying procedures. Dr. Sam Gershenbaum (http://aventuracosmeticsurgery.com/) uses an advanced approach to this life-changing procedure, and has become known as a leader for eyelid surgery - blepharoplasty in the Miami region.

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty at our center is performed only with the latest techniques and technology, because we understand that the eyes are responsible for an important part of facial expression; they project the feelings and emotions of happiness, sorrow, anger and fear. Many feel the eyes are the "windows to our soul." Yet, the eyes themselves are essentially expressionless structures.

In actuality, it is the contour of the skin, muscle, fat, brow and lashes around the eyes that produce expression. Wrinkles, lines, loose skin and fatty bulges slowly develop and become more prominent as time goes on. Sun exposure, genetic predisposition, weight fluctuations and smoking can also be contributing factors that together produce a tired and older appearance.

Eyelid surgery, technically known as blepharoplasty, can correct conditions that produce an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) picturesaged, tired appearance by removing pouches or "fat bags," sagging eyelids, and excess folds of loose skin around the eyes. With skin folds, fat bulges removed, and eyelid creases improved, a more youthful and rested appearance can be achieved through eyelid surgery.

Eyelid Surgery Procedures

The incision for upper eyelid surgery is generally made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid and extended laterally to the side for a short distance. The excess skin and fat is then removed, and the incision is closed with sutures (stitches), which are removed over a five to seven day period.


When considering eyelid surgery, it is important to note that "heaviness" or excessive sagging skin of the upper eyelids can also be caused in part or even solely by a sagging forehead or brow. In this care, a brow lift may be recommended, in addition to the eyelid surgery to be performed at our Florida facility.
Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)


For lower eyelid surgery, there are three principle approaches:
Lower eyelids with excess skin:

The incision is generally made just below the eyelash margin and extended laterally to the side for a short distance. Depending on individual requirements fat may be removed or repositioned and secured in place. The excess skin is then removed and the incision closed with sutures (stitches), which are removed over a five to seven day period. At times, self-dissolving sutures are used.
