Eyelid Surgery NJ – Treating Undereye Bags, Festoons, & Malar Bags

Excess eyelid skin, puffiness, bags, and eye shape can contribute to an aging facial profile. Changes to the eyelids oftentimes cause patients to look more tired or older than they are. While over-the-counter creams and lotions aim to alleviate the signs of aging eyes, some may require more intense treatments such as plastic surgery.  

At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer a wide range of procedures to target the signs of aging eyes, from non-invasive treatments to cosmetic surgeries. Dr. Asaadi has become a familiar name for patients seeking eyelid surgery in NJ and from patients afar. He is one of just a handful of plastic surgeons who truly understands the nuances of the eyelid and the meticulousness involved when it comes to eyelid surgery. Learn more about these treatments below.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids while reshaping the lower eyelid. Excess skin and fat can contribute to drooping or sagging around the eye and lead to a puffy, tired appearance. In some cases, it may also result in impaired vision. Dr. Asaadi addresses each level of the eyelid, selectively tightening and repositioning as he goes for the best results. Blepharoplasty provides long-lasting enhancements to the eye for restored youthfulness.

Festoon Surgery

Festoons are a genetic condition that appear as swollen bags around the lower eyelids and above the cheeks, like dark circles. Festoon surgery removes the bags underneath the skin to improve the appearance of the eyes. Dr. Asaadi uses his “Botox® Test” to find the root cause of festoons and properly remove the festoons.  Festoon surgery provides patients with a refreshed appearance.

Malar Bag Surgery

Malar bag surgery removes swollen bags that appear between the undereye and cheek area. Malar bags can occur for a variety of reasons and can get worse with age as collagen production decreases. Dr. Asaadi utilizes his “Botox® Test” to diagnose the cause of malar bags and create an appropriate treatment plan. Undergoing malar bag surgery can provide patients with a restored and youthful-looking profile.

Canthopexy & Canthoplasty

Canthopexy and Canthoplasty are surgical procedures used to create a rested, younger look by addressing the outer corner of the eye. Canthopexy is less invasive, tightening the outer eye corner to address loose excess skin, sagging or drooping. Canthoplasty is commonly known as “cat eye surgery”, providing a more intense eye shape change as it lifts the outer corner.  Canthopexy and Canthoplasty can provide patents with symmetrical eyes, correct sagging or drooping lower eyelids, and achieve a revitalized, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Revision Festoon Surgery

Revision festoon surgery corrects results of past treatments and surgery meant to reduce or remove festoons. Festoons are incredibly difficult to treat, but there is usually no need for secondary surgery if going to the right and experienced plastic surgeon. Revision festoon surgery can address scarring, eyelid retraction, ectropion, partial removals, and aesthetic concerns.  

Revision Malar Bag Surgery

Revision malar bag surgery fixes past malar bag treatments or surgical results. This procedure is normally unnecessary if the malar bags are removed correctly to begin with. Since malar bags occur in a sensitive area of the face, when they are treated incorrectly, they can damage the skin while worsening the appearance of malar bags. Revision malar bag surgery can correct issues from past treatments.

Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty

Non-surgical blepharoplasty corrects sunken eyes and fine lines or wrinkles surrounding the eye. Cosmetic fillers and Botox® can restore volume around the eyes to provide an instant rejuvenating effect. This non-invasive technique allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately and enjoy rejuvenating results for years. 

Upneeq®

Upneeq® is a non-surgical eyelid lift, utilizing FDA approved eye drops to provide easy application and rapid results. These eye drops target the muscles of the eyelids, causing them to contract upwards, and widen the eye opening. Widening the eye opening not only addresses aesthetic concerns, but can improve field of vision. Upneeq® treats dropping eyelids in as little as one treatment and delivers a well-rested appearance.
