Eyelid Lift
Lower lid fat is removed through the inside of the lid or with a small incision just below the lashes; upper lids are treated through the natural crease.
Choosing among the best lower blepharoplasty surgeons in New York means looking at technique and training. Dr. Leonard Grossman, a Brooklyn plastic surgeon with more than 30 years of experience, frequently corrects lower eyelid bags through a transconjunctival incision inside the lid, adding a skin pinch or CO2 laser when needed. His gallery shows women and a 60-year-old man one year after transconjunctival surgery.
Lower eyelid surgery and the procedures Dr. Grossman pairs with it at his Brooklyn practice.
Lower lid fat is removed through the inside of the lid or with a small incision just below the lashes; upper lids are treated through the natural crease.
Offered for brows that are genuinely low or uneven; since brows tend to rise with age, Dr. Grossman often restores the area with fat instead.
Restoring cheek support, by lifting or with your own fat, can soften the tired look and under-eye hollows that lower eyelid surgery alone cannot fix.
Lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Leonard Grossman is planned around what causes your under-eye problem. Bags from bulging fat are usually corrected from inside the lid, where the incision stays out of sight; extra skin can be trimmed with a small pinch below the lashes; fine crepey skin may need only CO2 laser. The procedure takes about one to two hours under local anesthesia, with or without sedation, and you go home the same day.

An average figure tells you little, because lower blepharoplasty cost varies significantly by geographic location and by what your lower lids need. Dr. Grossman does not post a set price: cost depends on the technique (transconjunctival fat removal, a skin pinch or CO2 laser), the complexity of the case, and whether the upper lids or another facial procedure are treated at the same time. At consultation you receive a personalized quote, and financing options are available through Cherry and Prosper Healthcare Lending.
