Blepharoplasty in Morristown, NJ

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that removes the excess skin and fat that make the eyes look heavy or tired. Upper blepharoplasty lifts the weight off the upper lids, which can also open up a crowded field of vision. Lower blepharoplasty softens under-eye bags and puffiness. Because Dr. Sheikh trained specifically in oculoplastic surgery, the plan is built around how your eyes work as well as how they look.

Common questions

Should I have upper, lower, or both?: Upper and lower eyelids age differently, so they are assessed separately. Upper surgery addresses heaviness and hooding; lower surgery addresses bags and puffiness. Dr. Sheikh will tell you honestly if only one is needed to reach your goal.
Will I still look like myself?: That is the goal. The aim of eyelid surgery here is a rested, natural version of your own eyes, not a changed appearance. The before-and-after photos on this page show real patients treated with that approach.
