Advanced Blepharoplasty Surgery Techniques Available at Alinea Medical Spa
We specialize in a wide array of blepharoplasty procedures at Alinea Lipo, addressing concerns that range from under-eye bags and loose skin to eyelid asymmetry. Our surgical blepharoplasty procedures include the following:
Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty is ideal for patients experiencing drooping or hooding over the eyes as this procedure removes or repositions excess tissue on the upper eyelids.
- Ideal for sagging or puffy lids causing a tired appearance
- Helps lift hooded eyelids and restore a more open gaze
- Can improve peripheral vision by eliminating overhanging skin
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty addresses puffiness and sagging beneath the eyes by removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin.
- Ideal for under-eye bags, puffiness, or bulging
- Helps reduce shadows and hollowing under the eyes
- Restores smoother contours for a brighter, more rested look
Double Eyelid Surgery (Asian Blepharoplasty)
Double eyelid surgery creates a natural-looking fold in the upper eyelid, often enhancing eye shape and symmetry.
- Ideal for patients with monolids or low-set eyelid creases
- Enhances overall eye contour and symmetry
- Helps achieve a brighter, more alert expression
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty
This advanced blepharoplasty surgery technique removes bulging fat from the lower eyelids through an internal incision, avoiding external scars.
- Best for younger patients with under-eye bags and good skin elasticity
- No external cuts or stitches—completely scarless
- Helps reduce puffiness and improve contour beneath the eyes
Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Treatments We Offer
CO₂ Laser Blepharoplasty
CO₂ laser blepharoplasty uses focused laser energy to gently resurface the lower eyelids. It removes damaged skin and stimulates collagen to firm and smooth the area without surgery.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Intense Pulsed Light therapy gently treats discoloration and dullness around the eyes by using light energy to fade pigmentation and boost collagen. It’s recommended for early prevention or maintenance.
Profound® RF (Radiofrequency Microneedling)
Profound® RF uses fine microneedles to deliver controlled heat into the deeper layers of skin. This thermal energy activates the skin’s natural healing response, restoring firmness and elasticity in the lower eyelids.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP uses your own blood’s healing factors to rejuvenate the under-eye area. It’s ideal for patients with dark circles, volume loss, or dull, thinning skin. PRP helps build collagen, improve skin tone, and reduce discoloration.
Benefits of Getting Blepharoplasty in NYC
Blepharoplasty is a type of eyelid surgery that helps reduce puffiness, sagging and tired-looking eyes. It works by gently removing or reshaping extra skin and fat around the eyes, especially in areas where aging or genetics cause heaviness or under-eye bags. Some benefits of getting a blepharoplasty procedure include:
- Brighter, More Youthful Eyes: The eyes appear less weighed down, helping you look more energetic and alert.
- Clearer Vision: For patients with severely drooping upper lids, the procedure can improve peripheral vision and reduce eye strain.
- Natural, Long-Lasting Results: Unlike injectables or topical treatments, surgical eyelid correction offers results that last for years, with little to no need for maintenance.
- Enhanced Facial Symmetry: Rebalancing the eyelid contours can improve overall facial harmony and help restore a youthful look to the entire eye area.
Recovery & Aftercare Guide Following a Blepharoplasty in NYC
After your blepharoplasty procedure, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness around the eyes. These effects typically peak within the first 48 hours and gradually improve over the following days. Most patients are able to return to work or light activities within 7 to 10 days, depending on the extent of the procedure. Here are some tips to support your healing process:
- Apply Cold Compresses: Use a clean, cool compress on the eye area for the first 24 to 48 hours. This helps reduce swelling and minimize bruising.
- Keep Your Head Elevated: Sleep with your head propped up on pillows to reduce fluid buildup and encourage proper drainage.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from exercise, heavy lifting, or bending over for at least two weeks, as these can increase swelling and slow recovery.
- Use Prescribed Medications: Follow your surgeon’s instructions for applying ointments or taking medications to prevent infection and soothe the healing skin.
- Protect Your Eyes: Wear sunglasses when outdoors to shield your eyes from sunlight and wind, which can irritate the healing area.
Who is a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty in NYC?
You have drooping or sagging upper eyelids: If excess skin is causing your upper lids to appear heavy or hooded, blepharoplasty can lift and restore a more open, alert look.
You struggle with persistent under-eye bags: Lower blepharoplasty is ideal for patients with puffiness or fat deposits under the eyes that don’t improve with skincare or rest.
Your vision is affected by sagging skin: When eyelid skin obstructs your peripheral vision, especially in the upper lids, blepharoplasty can correct the issue and improve function.
You’re in good overall health: Ideal candidates are non-smokers with no serious medical conditions that could impair healing or increase surgical risks.
Treatments to Pair with Blepharoplasty for Full-Face Rejuvenation
Brow Lift
A brow lift raises drooping brows that can make the eyes look heavy or tired. It pairs well with blepharoplasty to create a more open, youthful expression.
Botox
A quick, non-surgical way to smooth fine lines around the eyes and brows. Perfect for enhancing facial expression and maintaining results.
Facelift
Addresses hollowing and skin laxity in the lower face for smoother lines, firmer contours, and a more balanced profile.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Improves skin tone, texture, and firmness by stimulating collagen—especially around the delicate eye area where signs of aging first appear.

Blepharoplasty Treatment FAQs
How much is blepharoplasty?
At Alinea Medical Spa, the cost of blepharoplasty ranges from $4,000 to $8,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether it is performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Pricing may also vary if the surgery is combined with other aesthetic treatments.
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic or functional procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. It’s often performed to reduce sagging, puffiness, or drooping that can make the eyes appear tired or obstruct vision. Blepharoplasty can be done on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs.
Who performs blepharoplasty?
At Alinea Medical Spa, blepharoplasty is performed by highly trained, board-certified cosmetic surgeons who specialize in facial rejuvenation procedures. With extensive experience in both surgical and non-surgical treatments, our team takes a personalized approach to achieve subtle, natural results while prioritizing safety and comfort.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for eyelid surgery?
If your eyelids feel heavy, look droopy, or cause you to appear more tired than you feel, eyelid surgery may be right for you. People with puffiness under the eyes, loose skin, or vision affected by upper lid sagging are often great candidates. The best way to know for sure is to meet with a specialist who can assess your skin, eye structure, and personal goals.
Will blepharoplasty get rid of my eye wrinkles?
Blepharoplasty can reduce wrinkles that are caused by excess, drooping skin—especially in the upper eyelids or under-eye area. However, it won’t remove dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet. For that, your provider may recommend combining surgery with Botox or skin resurfacing treatments for a smoother finish.
Will insurance cover the cost of blepharoplasty?
In most cases, blepharoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, if sagging upper eyelids significantly impair your vision, some coverage may be possible—but only with proper documentation from a medical exam. Even then, approval isn’t guaranteed, and cosmetic enhancements like lower eyelid surgery are not covered.
