Eyelid Surgery In NJ To Treat Festoons, Malar Bags, & Eyelid Ptosis

POSTED ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2021 AT 9:00 AM  by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi

Eyelid surgery, which is also commonly referred to as blepharoplasty, can rejuvenate the eyes for a younger-looking appearance. With age, many patients may notice that their upper or lower eyelids begin to sag and droop. Wrinkling around the eyes can cause a person to look tired and appear older than they actually are. In more severe cases, lax skin on the upper eyelid can even impair vision.

Dr. Asaadi offers blepharoplasty to treat a variety of conditions related to the lower and upper eyelids. Some of the most common issues treated during eyelid surgery include improving festoons, malar bags, and eyelid ptosis.

Blepharoplasty Benefits

  • Restores A Youthful-Looking Appearance
  • Removes Excess Tissues & Skin
  • Effective Treatment For The Upper & Lower Eyelids
  • Discretely Placed Incisions
  • Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Results

Eyelid Surgery For Festoons

Festoons form under the lower eyelid and are often caused by aging, excessive sun exposure, or smoking. Festoons cause the skin beneath the lower eyelid to sag, wrinkle, and crease. Some refer to the appearance of a festoon as a drape of skin that wrinkles and sits above the cheek bone. Lower eyelid surgery can correct festoons by removing this excess skin and restoring a smoother appearance to thenderneath the lower eyelid.

Eyelid Surgery For Malar Bags

Similar to festoons, malar bags develop beneath the lower eyelid and cause puffiness and undereye bags. The main difference between a festoon and a malar bag is that festoons form wrinkles, whereas malar bags are smooth, puffy mounds that rest below the lower eyelid. In cases of malar bags, blepharoplasty can correct this puffiness by removing excess skin that is causing a tired-looking appearance.

Blepharoplasty For Eyelid Ptosis

Eyelid ptosis is most commonly referred to as sagging eyelids. This lax skin can cause wrinkles and creases to form above the eyes. In severe cases, eyelid ptosis can even hinder vision when sagging skin begins to hang over the eyelashes. Eyelid surgery can restore your field of vision by removing excess skin and tissue from the upper eyelid with discreet incisions.
