Dr. Tripathi performs 2 forms of blepharoplasty:

Upper blepharoplasty lifts sagging upper eyelids, better defines the upper eyelid crease, and may even reduce vision impairment caused bi-hooded eyelid skin. This creates a more awake and revitalized expression.

For upper blepharoplasty, he makes a small incision along your natural eyelid crease to conceal any scarring. He uses this incision to trim away skin, remove fat, and reposition muscles as needed.

Lower blepharoplasty reduces fat deposits under the eyes and smooths the area for a more youthful look. The procedure can also lift sagging skin along the lower eye that may be contributing to a fatigued appearance.

For lower blepharoplasty, he makes an incision either just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival). He then removes or repositions fat and tightens the skin.
