Info About Eyelid Lift Procedure
Eyelid Surgery Patient Testimonial This female patient in her late fifties discusses her eyelid surgery with Dr. Jacono.
Each year, one hundred thousand men and woman undergo blepharoplasty, or eye lift, to improve the way they look. Droopy upper eyelids are the results of excess sagging eyelid skin, and can make you look tired, sad or older. The lower eyelids become puffy and bags develop with age due to prolapse of fat underneath the eyes. These changes often contribute to a worn look. This procedure cannot alter fine wrinkles around the eyes nor sagging eyebrows.

For these problems Doctor Jacono may recommend such procedures as laser skin resurfacing, BOTOX and Restylane therapy, physician strength skin care products or an endoscopic brow lift.
In Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery, Doctor Jacono first marks all the individual lines and creases of the lids in order to keep the incisions as invisible as possible along these natural folds. The incision is made and the precise amount of excess fat, muscle, and loose skin that are contributing to the problem are removed.
In Lower Eye Lift Surgery, Doctor Jacono makes the incision in an inconspicuous location just a few millimeters below the lash line and along the smile creases of the lower eyelid. Again skin, fat and muscle are precisely removed. Extremely fine sutures are then used to meticulously close the incisions, thus minimizing the visibility of any scar.
Eye Lift Patient 1: The upper eye lift removes fat bags and excessive skin, but the lower eyelid fat bags are moved into the deep under eye grooves. This patient has no eyelid surface wrinkles so there was no need for a skin peel or laser resurfacing.
When Doctor Jacono determines that lower eyelid puffiness (eyelid bags) are solely the result of excess fat, the procedure can be done with an incision inside the eyelid, called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty eye lift , resulting in no external scars. Doctor Jacono has published in the medical literature regarding cutting edge procedures in eye lift surgery (Click Here to See Dr. Jacono’s Publications).
The greatest advance in lower eyelid surgery is to not remove the fat bags under the eyes, but “transpose” or move the fat into deep hollows and grooving under the eye. This is called a Fat Transposition Lower Eyelid Lift This prevents a “hollowing out” of the lower eyelids that often occurs after eyelid surgery and makes people look artificial or “plastic.” This is why many celebrities look like they had plastic surgery.
Prior to surgery all patients receive a complete physical examination and are started on vitamin supplementation and homeopathic therapies to enhance healing after surgery. Research has shown that surgical results are improved when these regimens are part of your surgical treatment.
