Each year, one hundred thousand men and woman undergo blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, to improve the way they look. Droopy upper eyelids are the results of excess sagging eyelid skin,and can make you look older and impair vision. 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 and tired 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 collagen therapy, physician strength skin care products or an endoscopic browlift.
Eyelid Lift Patient 1: 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.

In upper eyelid lift surgery, Doctor Jacono first marks all the individuallines and creases of the lids in order to keep the incisions as invisible as possiblealong these natural folds. The incision is made and the preciseamount of excess fat,muscle, and loose skin that are contributing to theproblem are removed.
In Lower Eyelid 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.
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 eyelift surgery (Click Here to See Dr. Jacono's Publications).
In some cases of lower eyelid surgery it is necessary not to remove the fat bags under the eyes, but "transpose" or move the fat into deep grooving under the eye. This prevents a "hollowing out" of the lower eyelids.

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.
