Blepharoplasty FAQs in Paramus, NJ

Q. Am I a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

A. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your eyes, would like to correct sagging, or desire to improve functional issues, you may be a candidate for blepharoplasty.

Good candidates are individuals who are in good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations. Particular eye or health conditions may limit your candidacy, including glaucoma, dry eyes, thyroid disorders, cardiovascular diseases, or diabetes.

Q. How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?

A. Dr. Nouri can perform an upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or both simultaneously, depending on what the two of you decide during your consultation. Upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia in the office, while lower or upper/lower blepharoplasty is performed under general anesthesia.

Upper Blepharoplasty

• Dr. Nouri creates an incision within the natural upper eyelid crease.
• He removes or repositions fat deposits, tightens the muscles, and removes excess skin.
• The incisions are closed.

Lower Blepharoplasty

• Dr. Nouri makes an incision just below the lash line, concealing it in the natural folds.
• Excess skin is removed, and fatty deposits can be removed or repositioned.
• The incisions are closed.

Q. Can I Combine Blepharoplasty With Other Procedures?

A. For a more comprehensive transformation and less downtime, some patients choose to combine their eyelid surgery with other procedures. Common combinations include:

• Brow Lift: Target forehead wrinkles and lift the brows for a refreshed upper face. Often paired with blepharoplasty for a striking gaze.
• Facelift: Address jowls, nasolabial folds, and sagging for smoother, more lifted facial contours. Many patients combine their facelift with blepharoplasty for a radiant, youthful result.
• Laser Treatments: Powerfully correct pigmentation issues and brighten the skin. Laser treatments and blepharoplasty together create a vibrant, fresh look.

Q. What Can I Expect During My Blepharoplasty Recovery?

A. Following surgery, lubricating ointment and cold compresses may be applied. Dr. Nouri will provide you with post-operative instructions to guide your recovery.

Swelling, bruising, dry eyes, irritation, and discomfort are normal and can be alleviated with medication, cold compresses, and ointment. Rest, in the form of sleep and naps, is essential during initial recovery. Practice sun protection and use dark sunglasses until healing is complete.

Many patients feel comfortable in public and can return to work after 10–14 days.

Q. When Will I See My Blepharoplasty Results?

A. As swelling and bruising subside, your results will become apparent, revealing smooth, defined lids and a rejuvenated appearance.

Blepharoplasty can permanently correct certain eye conditions. Although your eyes will continue to age naturally, the results will be long-lasting, especially with ongoing sun protection.
