Your Best Self Can Be Revealed by Dr. Singer
Is It Right for Me?
Blepharoplasty—also known as an eyelid lift—is a method of addressing undereye bags, dark undereye circles, and sagging or “hooded” upper eyelids. By making incredibly precise incisions in the natural skin creases of the eyelids, Dr. Singer can remove excess skin and fat tissue before tightening the remaining skin in a way that can take years off your appearance. It's a procedure that has helped millions achieve the rejuvenation they desire, but it's not right for every patient.
Blepharoplasty Candidacy
Safety is Dr. Singer's first priority when it comes to any cosmetic procedure. Before recommending blepharoplasty, Dr. Singer will perform a careful assessment of your medical history and other factors to determine if you have any characteristics that might elevate the risk of plastic surgery. In general, blepharoplasty candidates are men and women who:
- Are in good overall health
- Have no medical conditions that compromise the healing process
- Don't smoke or use tobacco
- Have realistic expectations of what an eyelid lift can provide
- Are free of any serious ocular health issues
- Want to look better rather than different

“Good procedures are individualized. What works well for somebody else may not be the best for you. It’s not a matter of you fitting the procedure, it’s a matter of the doctor finding what’s right for you.”

Powerful Rejuvenation By Dr. Robert Singer
Recovery
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure. On the day of your surgery, you will return home to rest after a short observation period in Dr. Singer's onsite surgical center.
Everyone heals at a different rate, so Dr. Singer will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and decide when it is safe to resume certain activities.
You should take care to minimize strain for about two weeks as you heal. That means no strenuous exercise or heavy lifting. Any discomfort experienced during the first couple of weeks can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Sun protection is especially important during this time, and you should plan to wear a hat and sunglasses when you go outside. Dr. Singer will advise when returning to work and resuming other activities is safe.
You can expect bruising and swelling for about 10 to 14 days, but most patients feel comfortable going back into the public after that time. It could take up to a few months for the swelling to completely subside.

"It takes time to heal. It’s very important that you follow all instructions pre-op and post-op, because you are part of the treatment. Be very honest with your surgeon about your health history, your expectations, and your motivation so they can recommend the right procedure and help you experience the best possible benefits."
