Eyelid Surgery
Men and women who come to our Rochester, NY, practice for eyelid surgery want expressive eyes that communicate an alert, rested appearance. Sometimes patients also suffer from drooping or heavy upper eyelids that can significantly reduce one’s visual field. Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the area. This transformational procedure is safe and effective when performed by Dr. Vito C. Quatela, a respected, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing blepharoplasty; or by Dr. Heather Lee, a board-certified otolaryngologist and board-certified facial plastic surgeon, or Dr. Alex Montague, a highly-trained facial plastic surgeon and board-certified otolaryngologist, who have both trained extensively with Dr. Quatela.
Our facial plastic surgeons’ reputations as facial plastic surgery specialists attract eyelid surgery patients from Buffalo, Syracuse, and throughout New York. You can request your consultation with one of them using the online form or call our office at (585) 244-1000 to schedule an appointment.
At the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery, eyelid surgery patients get consistently excellent results that give them the youthful appearance they desire. Dr. Lee and Dr. Montague’s expertise in functional eyelid surgery allows their patients to enjoy restored sight and improved vision after they remove or reposition excess tissue in the upper eyelid.
Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery
Men and women frustrated with loose, sagging skin and accumulated fat along the upper or lower eyelid may be good candidates for blepharoplasty. Those who have obscured vision due to upper eyelids weighed down with excess tissue may be good candidates for functional blepharoplasty. Three eye tests can determine whether your vision is obstructed enough for a functional procedure: Visual Fields, Shurmer Tearing Test, and Visual Acuity. Patients should be in overall good health, understand the eyelid lift procedure, and have reasonable expectations for their results. All skin types and ethnicities can benefit from the procedure. During your consultation, your surgeon determines if blepharoplasty is right for you.
