Eyelid Surgery in Washington DC

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity, leading to sagging, particularly around the eyes. This can result in wrinkles, bulges, and even impair vision due to excess skin.

Dr. Jonathan Cabin offers blepharoplasty in Washington DC to address these concerns, enhancing both aesthetics and function.

Washington DC Eyelid Surgery

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. It aims to rejuvenate the eye area, providing a more youthful and alert appearance.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing sagging skin and fat deposits from the upper eyelids. Dr. Cabin makes precise incisions along the natural crease of the eyelid, ensuring minimal visible scarring.

This technique tightens the eyelid, resulting in a more alert and youthful appearance.

The procedure is minimally invasive, often performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation, allowing patients to return home the same day

Who Is Eligible for Upper Blepharoplasty?

Ideal candidates are healthy adults experiencing loose or sagging upper eyelid skin that affects their field of vision or those who wish to rejuvenate the appearance of their eyes.

While most candidates are over 35, younger patients with genetic concerns can also benefit from the procedure. Dr. Cabin will evaluate your specific needs during a personalized consultation.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery targets under-eye bags and puffiness that can make you look older or more fatigued than you feel.

Dr. Cabin utilizes a transconjunctival approach, placing incisions inside the lower eyelid to remove or reposition fat without leaving external scars. This method smooths the area, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and bags for a rejuvenated look.

Who is a Candidate for Lower Blepharoplasty?

Candidates for lower blepharoplasty are those in good overall health with concerns about under-eye puffiness or bags.

While it’s most common among people over 35, younger individuals with genetic under-eye concerns may also see significant improvement. Dr. Cabin will evaluate your needs and goals to determine if this surgery is right for you.

What is the Blepharoplasty Recovery Process?

Post-surgery, mild swelling and bruising are common but usually subside within a few weeks. Patients often see noticeable improvements immediately, with optimal results developing as healing continues.

Dr. Cabin provides detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth and successful recovery.
