Dr. Wise has performed thousands of successful eyelid surgeries in New Jersey, giving his patients a more youthful and energized appearance.*
Blepharoplasty, also called eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, is a procedure performed on the upper and/or lower eyelids to provide a more alert and rejuvenated appearance. Many of Dr. Wise’s patients seek this procedure to correct puffy bags and loose skin under the eyes, sagging skin on the upper eyelid, and fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Blepharoplasty with Dr. Wise can help you look refreshed, pleasantly and naturally awake, and more youthful by removing excess skin to open the eyes or smoothing puffy bags and circles under the eyes.
Tightening the skin of the upper and/or lower eyelids can automatically improve or reduce the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, commonly known as "crow’s feet."*
Puffy bags under the eyes and excess skin on the upper eyelids can make one look constantly tired or sad. Blepharoplasty can help patients appear more alert and express their true emotions.
Sagging upper eyelid skin can make it difficult to see. The upper eyelid lift removes this excess skin to broaden the scope of patients’ vision.
