Eyelid Surgery — Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty

City Facial Plastics provides a full range of eyelid procedures under Dr. Gary Linkov, whose subspecialty training in facial plastic surgery covers both cosmetic and functional periorbital surgery. The practice serves patients from across New York City and the wider Metro area who want experienced, board-certified care in a dedicated facial surgery setting.

Upper blepharoplasty corrects drooping eyelids caused by excess skin, redundant orbicularis oculi muscle, or herniated fat pads. The incision is placed precisely within the natural eyelid crease, where post-operative scarring is imperceptible once healed. In cases where the upper eyelid margin itself is low due to levator muscle weakness — a condition called ptosis — levator muscle tightening is performed concurrently or as a standalone procedure.

Lower blepharoplasty at City Facial Plastics favours the transconjunctival approach: incisions are made on the inner surface of the lower lid, entirely avoiding visible external scarring. This technique suits younger patients whose primary concern is under-eye fat prolapse with good lower lid skin quality. Skin resurfacing or a small skin pinch can be combined when fine surface lines are also present.
