The eyes are the first thing that a person sees when they look at you. Wrinkled, puffy, eyes can often make a person look tired and old even if their cheekbones and jawline are tight and strong. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can reduce the bulging and puffiness around the eyes creating a wide-awake, youthful, look. With the careful guidance of Dr. Racanelli, the type of surgery that will work best for your eyes will be explored. Most patients leave the operating room within three hours, though some patients may spend less time in the operating room depending upon the type of surgery required.

Both upper and lower eyelid surgery involve the removal of excessive fat and skin. Upper eyelid surgery is completed by tightening the muscles and tissue around the eyes prior to concluding the surgery.

Lower eyelid patients may require the use of a resurfacing laser that will complete the surgery by tightening the skin throughout the area. Incisions made to both the lower and upper eyelid are virtually undetectable. Dr. Racanelli will expertly hide all incisions within the natural creases of the eye, leaving the eyelid area free from noticeable scars. Blepharoplasty is a safe surgical procedure that produces stunning results.

Patients that opt for this type of surgery find that they appear alert, fresh, and youthful following surgery. Many patients find that a simply blepharoplasty procedure is also a cost effective way to rejuvenate and brighten their face.
