Dr. Jeffrey Ridha: Precision and Expertise in Eyelid Surgery
As a double board-certified plastic surgeon who graduated valedictorian from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Dr. Ridha offers a nuanced approach to blepharoplasty. His conservative techniques ensure natural-looking results that refresh and rejuvenate without appearing artificially altered.
Surgical Procedure Overview
Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under sedation or general anesthesia. Strategic incisions are placed within natural eyelid structures to minimize visible scarring. The procedure may involve repositioning or removing fat deposits, tightening muscles and tissue, and removing excess skin.
Recovery and Results
Most patients can return to normal activities within 10 days. Full results develop over several weeks, with incision lines continuing to refine for up to a year. Dr. Ridha provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Post-Surgical Recommendations
- Avoid contact lenses for several weeks
- Minimize eye makeup during recovery
- Follow all provided care instructions
- Protect eyes from sun exposure
