Experience world-class blepharoplasty with double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mansher Singh
Aging eyelids can add years to your appearance, cast permanent shadows, and, even worse, impair vision. For those seeking blepharoplasty in NYC, Dr. Mansher Singh blends Harvard- and Johns Hopkins-honed expertise with a concierge, patient-inclusive philosophy to deliver subtle, naturally beautiful rejuvenation.
Blepharoplasty (commonly called an eyelid lift) is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat to refresh the eye area.
It smooths wrinkles, eliminates puffiness, and enhances your innate facial contours so you appear alert, rested, and effortlessly vibrant.
Results often last 5-7 years or longer before normal aging gradually resumes—making upper blepharoplasty in NYC a lasting investment in brighter, more youthful eyes.
| Approach | Ideal For | Incision | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transconjunctival | Younger patients / isolated fat bulges | Inside eyelid | No external scar, fat sculpting only |
| Transcutaneous | Skin laxity, wrinkles, significant bags | Just below lash line | Allows skin & muscle tightening plus fat repositioning |
Dr. Singh often combines fat repositioning or micro-fat grafting to smooth tear-trough hollows for seamless, blended contours.

While there’s no strict age limit, most patients are in their 30s to 60s—old enough to notice skin laxity or puffiness but young enough to heal robustly. Younger adults may seek blepharoplasty for congenital eyelid issues; older patients (70+) can still benefit if they’re in good general health.
You’ll need to pause contact lens use for at least one week to allow the conjunctival and lash-line incisions to heal. Glasses can be worn as soon as you feel comfortable—usually within a few days—but avoid heavy frames that press on swollen lids.
Temporary numbness, mild stiffness, or a subtle change in blink rate are common in the first two weeks. All sensations typically return over one to three months, and Dr. Singh’s technique preserves the orbicularis muscle to ensure normal eyelid closure and long-term expression.
