Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Island Plastic Surgery offers Eyelid Surgery to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
The eyes are often where most people notice the first effects of aging, beginning with slight wrinkles and laugh lines on the surrounding skin. These creases and crinkles deepen over the years and are often accompanied by excess fat and sagging. At Island Plastic Surgery in Mineola and West Islip, NY, our surgical staff offers eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, as a simple way to achieve a younger-looking face by firming the skin around your eyes, removing bags and correcting drooping eyelids.
Eyelid surgery is a popular procedure throughout the Long Island region. Island Plastic Surgery works with patients from New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT. With our blepharoplasty procedures, men and women are finding a quick way to remove years from their appearance.
Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
At Island Plastic Surgery, many men and women come into our Mineola and West Islip offices looking for eyelid surgery. This is because the eyes are such a focal point of our faces. Common concerns for blepharoplasty patients include:
- Loose or droopy skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid
- Impaired vision from sagging upper eyelids
- Excess fat that makes the upper eyelids look puffy
- Bags under the eyes
- Sagging of the lower eyelids, revealing the white below the iris
- Extraneous skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid

How is Eyelid Surgery Performed?
Our surgical staff in Mineola and West Islip can perform blepharoplasty on both the upper and lower eyelids, resulting in a more refreshed, alert and well-rested appearance. Incision sites and procedures for eyelid surgery can include the following:
- For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made in the creases of the upper lids, and fat underneath the muscle is removed.
- For lower eyelid surgery, the incision is made just below the lashes, either inside or outside of the eyelid, to remove fat and excess skin.
- If you have laughter lines, or "crow's feet," that you would also like removed, your blepharoplasty surgeon may extend the incision to the outer corners of your eyes.
What are Eyelid Surgery Costs?
