Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Dr. Salomon performs upper, lower, and combined quad blepharoplasty at his South Miami practice to address drooping upper lids, under-eye puffiness, and hollowing around the eyes. Upper eyelid surgery uses an incision within the natural eyelid crease; lower eyelid surgery may use a subciliary or transconjunctival approach, leaving no external scar. Recovery is typically one to two weeks. The procedure may be combined with a brow lift or fat grafting for a more complete periorbital refresh.

Blepharoplasty at Dr. Jhonny Salomon's South Miami office addresses one of the most common concerns patients bring to a plastic surgeon: the appearance of aging or fatigue around the eyes. Whether the issue is excess skin weighing down the upper lids, persistent puffiness in the lower lids, or dark hollowing caused by fat redistribution over time, eyelid surgery can refine the periorbital area with relatively modest downtime. Dr. Salomon offers three primary configurations: Upper blepharoplasty uses an incision precisely placed within the natural fold of the upper eyelid. Excess skin, and where appropriate a small amount of fat, is removed or repositioned. For patients with ptosis — a drooping of the lid that can affect vision — the surrounding elevator muscles can be tightened at the same time. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye puffiness and the appearance of fatigue. Two incision strategies are used depending on the patient's anatomy: a subciliary incision (placed just below the lower lash line) or a transconjunctival approach (inside the eyelid, leaving no external scar at all). Autologous fat transfer from elsewhere on the body may be used to restore volume to areas of hollowing at the same time. Quad blepharoplasty addresses all four eyelids in a single session, which is the most common approach for patients seeking comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation. Most patients experience mild to moderate swelling and bruising in the first week. Sutures are typically removed at seven days, and the majority of patients return to work within one to two weeks. Final results become visible around one month post-procedure. Eyelid surgery at this practice is frequently combined with an endoscopic brow lift, CO2 laser resurfacing of the surrounding skin, or a facelift. Dr. Salomon brings FACS credentials and fellowship-level craniofacial training to periorbital anatomy — a region where surgical precision and an understanding of the underlying bone structure and fat compartments are particularly valuable. Complimentary consultations are available.
