Eyelid surgery isn’t reserved for patients within a specific age range. At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, the benefits of a lower eyelid lift in NYC go beyond anti-aging.
Dr. Steven Pearlman has spent decades studying the anatomy of the eye, allowing us to address genetic predispositions that determine your eyes’ appearance—no matter your age.
The Anatomy Behind Under-Eye “Bags”
Our eyes are delicate organs housed in a bony socket and surrounded by fat to cushion them. As we age, this fat can prolapse out of the eye socket. Infraorbital fat protrusion or herniation, referred to as under-eye bags, causes chronic puffiness. While this condition worsens with time, your genetics determine the amount and position of those muscles and fat pads in the first place. Fat deposits in front of those muscles can make the area appear swollen and bulge outward.
How Surgery Combats Congenital Bags
Topical skincare products and surface-level aesthetic treatments don’t address the root of the problem, making eyelid surgery the only true solution. A blepharoplasty (eye lift) in NYC removes excess fat and trims the surrounding muscle tissue and skin for permanent results.
The Anatomy Behind “Hollow” Under-Eyes
Volume loss beneath the eyes is another prominent concern that may become more pronounced with age as your skin produces less elastin. However, this can also develop earlier in life. In contrast to “bags,” you can experience a depletion of soft tissue around the eyelids or a thinning of the muscles. Without ample support, the delicate skin around your eyes begins to “droop.”
How Surgery Smoothes Tear Troughs
A lower eyelid lift in NYC can also reposition fat and muscle, permanently and naturally “filling” the sunken area between your eyes and cheekbones, known as the tear troughs. By carefully repositioning the fat, our surgeons help patients go from a hill-valley-hill appearance to a smoother transition from the eyelid to the cheeks.
Work With an Expert Blepharoplasty Surgeon
Patients trust Dr. Steven Pearlman, who is uniquely dual board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology—head and neck surgery (ENT)—to perform their eyelid surgery.
