Eyelid Lifts in Amherst, Niagara Falls & Western New York
Your eyes are often the first thing people notice about you and are an important aspect of your overall appearance. As we age, the tone and shape of our eyelids can loosen and sag. Heredity and sun exposure also contribute to this process. This excess, puffy or lax skin can make you appear tired or aged. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty (pronounced “blef-a-ro-plasty”), is one of the cosmetic procedures offered at Fichte, Endl, & Elmer Eyecare and can give the eyes a more youthful look by removing excess skin, bulging fat and lax muscle from the upper or lower eyelids.
Upper Blepharoplasty
If the sagging upper eyelid skin obstructs peripheral vision, blepharoplasty can eliminate the obstruction and expand the visual field. Upper lid lifts are covered by insurance in many cases as the upper lid can droop and obstruct your peripheral vision and impair your sightlines. For the upper eyelids, excess skin and fat are removed through an incision hidden in the natural eyelid crease. If the lid is droopy, the muscle that raises the upper lid can be tightened. The incision is then closed with fine sutures.
Before & After
I had my upper bleph done by Dr. Endl just 6 days ago. These are my unfiltered before and after selfies. At only 34 years old I was pretty bummed about having to get this done. But I’m so glad that I did and wanted to share my appreciation with Dr. Endl and his staff. I’m feeling so much more confident already and am looking forward to the final healing. If any patients are hesitant to get this done, Please let them know it is so worth it! I LOVE MY NEW EYES!
