Introduction
Eyelid surgery is a great way to improve the appearance of most men and women over the age of 40, though younger patients may sometimes benefit as well. Droopy upper eyelids or puffy lower eyelids (bags under the eyes) result in a tired, sad appearance. Blepharoplasty surgery can result in a more alert, youthful appearance without an extreme makeover. After surgery you will still look like yourself, only younger and more vibrant. Several before and after photos are available through the links above.As an ophthalmic plastic surgeon (a.k.a. oculoplastic surgeon or eye plastic surgeon), Dr. Kapadia has more extensive training in blepharoplasty and other forms of eyelid surgery than any other type of physician, training based at the nation's top medical schools including Harvard and The University of Pennsylvania. His practice is based at Tufts-New England Medical Center in downtown Boston, where he is a full-time faculty member. However, both consultations and surgery are also available at several convenient suburban locations.
Minimally invasive facial rejuvenation with Botox or facial fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm is an excellent choice for many patients, including younger patients who do not need blepharoplasty surgery. Botox can help reduce wrinkles, especially in the area between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes. Restylane and Juvederm can help fill hollows under the eyes and around the mouth (such as smile lines) and help create fuller lips, in a much safer way than the collagen injections used in the past.
