If you are considering minor surgery for droopy eyes in Bucks County, contact the Center for Facial Plastic Surgery for a free consultation. Dr. Aaron Shapiro is a certified plastic surgeon who has experience with the eyelid lift Langhorne procedure as well as numerous other procedures to enhance your appearance. You may not be able to control getting older, but you can take steps to hold onto your youthful appearance for as long as possible.

As we age, our eyelids naturally begin to droop and sag. The skin around them becomes wrinkled from the build-up of excess fat. People may tell you that you look tired even after you’ve had a restful night’s sleep. However, droopy eyelids in the Langhorne area present more than just a cosmetic concern. Your vision may actually suffer because of it.

With upper lid blepharoplasty, Dr. Shapiro removes excess fat, muscle and loose skin by making tiny incisions into the eyelid. This procedure leaves minimal scarring that is not easily discernible to anyone else. Dr. Shapiro uses fine sutures to close the incisions and allow your upper eyelids to heal. He uses the same procedure with your lower eyelids to remove puffiness and excess skin.

You may be a candidate for laser blepharoplasty on your lower eyelids if you have a small amount of fullness around your eyes and minimal laxity to your skin. Laser blepharoplasty melts the excess fat and tightens the skin around your eyes. No stitches are necessary and your recovery is almost immediate.

Dr. Aaron Shapiro has 20 years experience in facial plastic surgery. When he first began his career, patients had to check into the hospital and have cosmetic procedures performed under general anesthesia. Technology has advanced to the point where most procedures can be completed on an outpatient basis at the Center for Facial Plastic Surgery. Side effects and recovery time for most plastic surgery procedures has also decreased significantly in the last two decades.
