At The Cohen Clinic for Plastic Surgery in McLean, Virginia, we specialize in enhancing your natural appearance through advanced facial plastic surgery procedures and cosmetic treatments. One of our most sought-after procedures for men is blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift. This procedure can rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes, making you look younger and more refreshed. Eyelid lifts are customized to each patient’s needs, allowing you to address specific cosmetic concerns. We offer a range of male eyelid treatments tailored to your requirements, whether you need upper blepharoplasty, lower eyelid blepharoplasty, or both.
A men’s blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance and functionality of the eyelids. An eyelid lift can address various cosmetic issues, including sagging skin, undereye bags, and drooping eyelids. This procedure can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both, revitalizing the area around your eyes. Upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination can address the following concerns:
Ideal candidates for an eyelid lift are men in good overall health, non-smokers, and do not have severe eye conditions. You may consider blepharoplasty if you are unhappy with the appearance of your upper and lower eyelids or if you experience functional problems due to sagging or drooping eyelids. During your consultation at The Cohen Clinic for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Cohen will assess your condition to determine if you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty treatment.
The blepharoplasty procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on the extent of the surgery. For upper blepharoplasty, local anesthesia is used, and an incision is made within the lid’s natural crease to minimize visibility. For lower blepharoplasty, intravenous sedation is administered, and the incision is placed just below the lashes or inside the eyelid. Dr. Cohen removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat through these incisions to achieve a more youthful appearance. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures.
Recovery from eyelid surgery typically involves a short period of swelling and bruising. Most patients can resume normal activities within ten days, though complete recovery may take several weeks. Results are long-lasting and can help restore a more youthful, refreshed look to your eyes. Dr. Cohen and his team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure smooth and efficient healing. Additional treatments, such as a brow lift, fat grafting, or CO2 laser, can further enhance your results. The best way to determine the right treatment plan for your needs is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cohen.
