Droopy, puffy eyelids and under eye bags can make you look older or more tired than you feel. Rejuvenate your appearance with blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, at Tamburrino Plastic Surgery in Doylestown, PA. This transformative procedure targets excess skin, muscle, and fat to reveal brighter, more alert eyes.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Also called an eyelid lift, this surgery addresses sagging or puffy upper and lower lids, restoring the natural contours of your eyes. Over time, aging, genetics, and environmental factors contribute to excess tissue that can affect your looks and impair your vision. By removing or repositioning this tissue, an eyelid lift smooths your eyelid contours and gives you a refreshed, open-eyed look.
Blepharoplasty Benefits
An eyelid lift offers both cosmetic and functional benefits, including:
- A Rejuvenated Appearance: Removing excess skin and fat opens up your eyes and gives you a more energetic look.
- Improved Vision: In cases of excessive hooding, the procedure can help restore your full field of vision.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: A refreshed look can boost your overall confidence, making you feel as vibrant as you appear.
- Long-Lasting Results: Although aging is ongoing, a well-executed eyelid lift can preserve your youthful look for many years.
For a more comprehensive rejuvenation, some patients choose to combine their eyelid lift with a brow lift or facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation. These additional treatments help balance facial features for an overall harmonious result.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates often share the following characteristics:
- Excess upper eyelid skin, puffiness, and under eye bags
- A “monolid,” or appearance of only a single upper eyelid
- Trouble with peripheral vision due to excess overhanging skin
- Good overall health and clear expectations
During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. assesses your specific concerns and anatomy and discusses your goals to determine if blepharoplasty is the right choice for you.

Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. performs the procedure using local anesthesia with sedation or, in some cases, general anesthesia. The approach varies based on the treatment area:
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Incisions follow the natural crease of your eyelid to remove excess skin and fat, enhancing your eye’s natural contours.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: This procedure targets under eye bags and puffiness by removing or repositioning excess fat or removal of excess lower eyelid skin, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. discusses these options during your consultation and recommends the method that best aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Recovery, Aftercare, and Lasting Results
After your procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which generally subside within 1 to 2 weeks. Recovery typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks, during which you should follow these guidelines for optimal healing:
- Avoid strenuous activities until your surgeon advises otherwise.
- Apply cold compresses and elevate your head to reduce swelling and improve comfort.
- Adhering to your surgeon’s aftercare instructions for the best possible outcome.
While aging continues, the improvements from a well-performed eyelid lift can be long-lasting, keeping your appearance vibrant for many years. With natural-looking results and the option to combine procedures for enhanced outcomes, you can enjoy a refreshed look that truly reflects your inner vitality.
