Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Dr. Lewen performs upper and lower blepharoplasty, quad blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, and xanthelasma removal at his Aventura clinic near Miami. As a double board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, he combines subspecialty precision with an eye for natural, balanced results. Upper eyelid procedures take approximately one hour; lower eyelid procedures approximately two hours. Virtual pre-consultations are available for out-of-state and international patients, with follow-up visits consolidated to minimise return trips.

Blepharoplasty at Lewen Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa in Aventura, Florida is performed exclusively by Dr. Gregory D. Lewen — a double board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon whose entire subspecialty is focused on the eyelids, brow, and mid-face. For patients across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and South Florida seeking eyelid rejuvenation, this level of subspecialty focus is rare compared to general plastic surgery practices. Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and puffiness of the upper eyelids through a discreet incision placed within the natural eyelid fold, making resulting scars virtually invisible once healed. Surgery takes approximately one hour under local or IV sedation; sutures are removed within approximately one week, and most swelling resolves within one to two weeks. Starting price is $8,000. Lower blepharoplasty removes or redistributes fat from the lower lids to address under-eye bags and hollowing. Dr. Lewen uses either a transconjunctival approach — placing the incision inside the eyelid for no external scar — or a transcutaneous approach depending on the patient's skin laxity and anatomy. Recovery allows light activity the next day, with most bruising resolved within two to three weeks. Starting price is $12,000. Quad blepharoplasty treats all four eyelids in a single session for patients seeking comprehensive upper and lower lid rejuvenation, starting from $20,000. Ptosis repair corrects drooping eyelids caused by a weakened levator muscle, offering both cosmetic and functional benefit from $6,000. Xanthelasma removal addresses cholesterol plaques on the eyelid skin from $2,800. The practice is located in Aventura, approximately 30 minutes from both Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), making it a practical destination for medical tourists and out-of-state patients. Virtual pre-consultations allow patients to review photos and discuss surgical planning before travelling, and the practice works to consolidate post-operative follow-up visits to minimise return trips for out-of-town patients.
