Upper Eyelid Lift
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat through the natural crease, tightening muscle if needed, for a more alert look and, when lids are heavy, clearer vision.
Looking for the best blepharoplasty surgeon? Dr. Leonard Grossman, a Brooklyn, NYC plastic surgeon with more than 30 years of experience, performs upper, lower and combined blepharoplasty under local anesthesia, alone or with sedation, at his fully accredited surgery center. Upper incisions sit in the natural crease, lower-lid fat is often removed from inside the lid, and most patients return to desk work the day after surgery.
Upper, lower and combined blepharoplasty planned around your own eye shape and anatomy.
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat through the natural crease, tightening muscle if needed, for a more alert look and, when lids are heavy, clearer vision.
Lower blepharoplasty treats bags, often through the inside of the lid (transconjunctival), with a pinch excision or CO2 laser for minimal loose skin.
Upper and lower blepharoplasty in one session of about one to two hours, under local anesthesia with or without sedation, and home the same day.
Blepharoplasty with Dr. Leonard Grossman is deliberately conservative, with a focus on minimal scarring and natural results. He removes only true excess skin and fat, hides upper incisions in the natural crease and, where possible, treats lower-lid bags from inside the lid. When the lower lid looks hollow rather than puffy, he may suggest restoring volume with your own fat instead of removing tissue. Surgery is outpatient at his Brooklyn center under local anesthesia, alone or with sedation.

Reconstructive and Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Leonard Grossman is a Brooklyn, New York City plastic and reconstructive surgeon with more than 30 years of experience and a pioneer of Organic Plastic Surgery, using patients' own fat in place of synthetic materials. He earned his medical degree from New York Medical College in 1985, completed his internship and General Surgery residency at Beth Israel Medical Center, and completed fellowships in Microsurgery at Montefiore Hospital and Burns and Reconstruction at Jacobi Hospital. In 1995 he completed a fully accredited plastic surgery residency at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Texas; his practice reports he became the first American plastic surgeon to use Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction that year. He pioneered calf augmentation with fat grafting in 1995 and, by his practice's count, has performed more than 4,500 calf augmentations. He operates at his fully accredited (AAAHC) surgery center at 3039 Emmons Ave in Brooklyn. Recognized by the Castle Connolly Guide, Vitals.com and RateMDs.com, he is dedicated to privacy, professionalism, and helping patients make informed decisions about their care.
Dr. Grossman does not work from an average or publish prices, because eyelid surgery costs vary significantly by geographic location and by the patient. The fee for upper blepharoplasty depends on how much skin and fat are removed, whether muscle is tightened and whether the lower lids are treated too. He gives you a detailed, transparent breakdown of costs at consultation. Since he operates in his own outpatient center rather than a hospital, there is no hospital stay to pay for, and financing options are available.
