Eyelid Surgery Results
From Dr. Kishinevsky
Dr. Kishinevsky regularly meets patients who wish they had brighter, more noticeable eyes. To address these concerns, she offers blepharoplasty, a procedure designed to remove excess skin above or below the eyelids.
How Dr. Kishinevsky Transforms Patients With Blepharoplasty
Over time, our eyelids can change. Some people feel like this process is unremarkable, while others worry that they look exhausted. If you want to turn back the clock and feel confident again, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kishinevsky offers eyelid surgery for patients across Connecticut. If you're not ready for blepharoplasty just yet, she can also address eyelid concerns non-surgically.
Wish You Could Rejuvenate Your Eyelids? Visit a Trusted Norwalk Plastic Surgeon
Connecticut patients choose our surgeon for lower and upper eyelid concerns like:
Did you know that blepharoplasty can smooth certain wrinkles around your eyelids? If you have fine lines that are caused only by excess skin or sagging eyelids, surgical treatment can rejuvenate the area.
Patients with hooded eyes have excess skin on their upper eyelids. They may be born with hooded eyes, or their eyelid skin can droop over time. Our surgeon routinely helps patients achieve more open eyes with blepharoplasty.
Under your eyelid, you may notice a bulge, called a fat pad. It can look puffy, contributing to a tired-looking appearance. With blepharoplasty, our surgeon can smooth the area beneath your eyelid.
Blepharoplasty isn't just cosmetic. It can also improve your vision. That's because loose skin around the eyelids can obscure your sight. This specific concern is often covered by insurance, making the cost more manageable.

Types of Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. During eyelid surgery, Dr. Kishinevsky trims away unwanted fat and skin deposits from the upper or
lower eyelids, or both.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
During upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made along the eyelid crease. Through this incision, we can redistribute or eliminate excess fat and tighten the skin. The incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize visible scarring. Upper eyelid surgery can also improve your vision by addressing the obstruction caused by sagging eyelids. In these cases, patients may qualify for insurance coverage.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Do you have baggy-looking skin under your eyes? It can create a tired appearance, which blepharoplasty addresses. By removing or redistributing fat in the lower lids, and then tightening the skin, Dr. Kishinevsky can help patients achieve natural-looking rejuvenation. There is no visible scarring with lower eyelid surgery since the entire procedure is performed using a discreet incision on the inside of the eyelid.
Recovery after Blepharoplasty
Our surgeon uses gentle techniques so our patients from Norwalk and Bridgeport, CT, and surrounding areas only require one to two weeks of recovery. During this time, you can expect the following side effects:
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Discomfort
- Dry Eye
- Itching
- Tightness
While most side effects subside quickly, bruising and swelling can last for several weeks. Patients can easily conceal any visible changes with a simple pair of sunglasses.
Non-Surgical Alternatives and Complementary Treatments
Eyelid surgery can also be combined with injections such as dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® or Restylane® for superior facial rejuvenation. We provide multiple injectables, and invite you to explore your options.
If you are primarily concerned with fine lines but do not have substantial excess skin or fat deposits, non-invasive treatments can provide great results. We offer safe, effective chemical peels to subtly enhance the area.
