UPPER & LOWER EYELID REJUVENATION IN CONNECTICUT
EYELID SURGERY
Your eyes are often the first thing people notice—but with age, they can also be one of the first areas to show fatigue. Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, offers a subtle yet transformative way to restore a brighter, more alert look. At Dr. Boris Goldman’s practice in Connecticut, eyelid surgery is approached with precision and care, helping patients remove puffiness, sagging, and fine lines while maintaining their natural expression.
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. It’s designed to correct drooping lids, under-eye bags, and hooded upper eyes that may cause a tired or aged appearance. Dr. Goldman customizes the approach based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, focusing on enhancing—not altering—your natural features.
Is Eyelid Surgery Right for You?
You may be a candidate for eyelid surgery if you experience:
- Sagging or drooping upper eyelids
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Fine lines or crepey skin around the eyes
- Obstructed vision due to excess upper lid skin
- A general appearance of fatigue or heaviness around the eyes
Your Personal Consultation with Dr. Goldman
During your consultation, Dr. Goldman will evaluate the upper and/or lower eyelids, discuss your goals, and recommend a tailored treatment plan. You’ll learn about the procedure steps, recovery expectations, and whether additional treatments like brow lift or laser resurfacing may enhance your overall result.
The Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Eyelid surgery is performed in-office under local anesthesia with mild sedation to ensure a relaxed and comfortable experience. Upper eyelid incisions are placed in the natural crease to remain discreet once healed. Lower eyelid procedures may involve a small incision inside the lid (transconjunctival) or just beneath the lash line. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to restore youthful contour and openness to the eyes.
Recovery and What to Expect
Recovery after eyelid surgery is typically quick and manageable. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness that resolve within 1–2 weeks. Cold compresses help minimize inflammation, and stitches are removed within 5–7 days. Most patients return to work and social activities in about a week.
