Your Eyelid Surgery Options
Reawaken the Natural Beauty of
Your Eyes
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the eyes by addressing excess skin, shifting fat, and structural changes in the upper and lower eyelids that contribute to a tired or aged appearance. Dr. Mostovych customizes upper and lower blepharoplasty to restore balance, openness, and a refreshed look while preserving your natural eye shape.
Eyelid Surgery Treats:
- Excess upper eyelid skin causing heaviness or hooding
- Eyelid drooping that contributes to a tired or aged appearance
- Under-eye bags caused by herniated or displaced fat
- Dark circles and shadowing from volume loss or contour irregularities
- Fine lines and crepey skin beneath the eyes
- Visual obstruction related to sagging upper eyelids

What to Expect From Eyelid Surgery
Consultation
Your consultation with Dr. Mostovych begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your upper and lower eyelids, brow position, skin quality, fat distribution, and eyelid function. She carefully observes your eyes at rest and in motion, identifies asymmetries, and listens closely to your goals and concerns. Together, you’ll review before-and-after photos, discuss whether upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a combined approach is most appropriate, and develop a personalized surgical plan.
Procedure
Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with oral or IV sedation for comfort. For upper blepharoplasty, Dr. Mostovych places incisions within the natural eyelid crease, allowing excess skin to be removed or refined while preserving smooth eyelid movement. For lower blepharoplasty, incisions are carefully hidden either inside the eyelid or along the lash line, depending on your anatomy and skin needs.
Rather than aggressively removing fat, Dr. Mostovych prioritizes repositioning and conservation to maintain youthful volume and prevent a hollowed appearance. The procedure generally takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on whether one or both eyelids are treated.
Recovery
After surgery, temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and dryness around the eyes are expected. You’ll be instructed to keep your head elevated, apply cold compresses, and use prescribed ointments or lubricating drops. Sutures, if present, are typically removed within 5 to 7 days. Most patients return to desk work and social activities within 7 to 10 days, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks.
As swelling resolves, your eyes will gradually appear more open, smooth, and refreshed. Final results continue to refine over several months, revealing a natural, rested look.
Eyelid Surgery FAQs
Will Eyelid Surgery Change How My Eyes Look?
Eyelid surgery is designed to restore, not change. Dr. Mostovych focuses on subtle refinement so you still look like yourself, just brighter and more rested.
Will There Be Visible Scars?
Incisions are carefully placed within natural creases or inside the eyelid, making scars discreet and typically barely noticeable once healed.
How Long Do Results Last?
Blepharoplasty offers long-lasting improvement. While aging continues, most patients enjoy results for many years.
