Am I a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is ideal for individuals with:

  • Droopy upper eyelids.
  • Sagging or puffy lower lids.
  • Obstructed vision caused by eyelid anatomy.

While most of Dr. Sistare’s blepharoplasty patients are over 35, younger individuals may benefit from eyelid surgery to address congenital concerns unrelated to aging. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results.

If crow’s feet or fine lines around your eyes are a concern, Dr. Sistare may recommend nonsurgical treatments to complement your results. Eyelid surgery primarily focuses on the eyelid area and does not address these specific wrinkles.

I am totally blown away by Dr. Sistare's talent as a young cosmetic surgeon. He's definitely ahead of the curve as it relates to new technology in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Sistare is a gamechanger. His attention to detail, and precision are unmatched. He took the time to understand my goals and delivered results that far exceeded my expectations. His artistic eye and skills for balance and symmetry are truly impressive. I feel like a more confident and refreshed version of myself. His staff are so friendly, they know you by name after the first visit. Concierge cosmetic surgery, treatment and results without the concierge prices. And he's charming to boot!
Alexandra Kelly
After going on several consultations for a breast implant removal procedure with a breast lift, I was sure Dr. Sistare was going to be the doctor I would choose. He listened carefully to what I wanted and explained step by step how and what to expect from the procedure. He took his time to answer ALL of my questions. I didn’t feel persuaded to change my mind about what I wanted. He listened! I have my procedure scheduled so I’m looking forward to my results.
I do have a friend that already used Dr. Sistare and she’s EXTREMELY happy with her results.
Victoria Rogers
After years of dealing with my eyelids impacting my vision, I finally decided to move forward with a procedure to address it and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Sistare. From the first appointment, he was thoughtful, clear, and attentive. He took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process.

The procedure itself was awake, smooth and surprisingly easy. I’m very grateful for Dr. Sistare’s expertise and care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others considering similar care! He has great bedside manner, and also gives you his personal number to help answer any questions.

Dr. Michael Sistare did surgery for my neck & face and I was very pleased with his expertise during my surgery. He called me later that night after the surgery to check up on me. That was very impressive. The post-opt experience was very good. He answered all my questions and was very patient, caring and kind.
A week after my surgery, my face and neck looked significantly better. It boosted my confidence and brought me great joy.
I am ecstatic and pleased by how I now look in the mirror.
Good job!

More about Eyelid Surgery

The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate, making it particularly prone to signs of aging like sagging, wrinkles, and puffiness. Eyelid surgery, which can target the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, addresses these concerns by tightening muscles, removing excess fat, and eliminating loose skin. Benefits can include:

  • Reduces droopy upper eyelids.
  • Smooths puffiness and bags under the eyes.
  • Enhances vision if eyelid sagging obscures eyesight.
  • Creates a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

Dr. Sistare may recommend combining blepharoplasty with additional facial procedures, such as a brow lift or  facelift, to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Eyelid surgery is generally safe, with minimal risks. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential complications, including:

  • Adverse reactions to anesthesia.
  • Infection.
  • Temporary light sensitivity or dry eyes.
  • Rare cases of difficulty closing the eyes or vision changes.

Dr. Sistare will discuss all potential risks and benefits during your consultation, ensuring you feel informed and confident about your decision to move forward with surgery.
