“I had a great experience with Dr. Newman. After having my lower eyelids done by him a few years ago, it was time for another rejuvenation - I wanted a laser resurfacing treatment. The procedure went exactly as Dr. Newman had promised it would; he had explained the pre-op and post-op care to me, as did his wonderful nurse. I look fantastic - the healing took the amount of time the doctor had said it would. My friends ask if I've been on vacation and say that I look ten years younger. When I tell people my age, they are amazed! (PS Dr. Newman is a kind, caring, and talented doctor with a kind and attentive staff)”

An Incredibly Popular Treatment
With over 30 years of plastic surgery experience, Dr. Newman has the knowledge and expertise to provide results that enhance your self-esteem as well as your appearance.During a consultation at our Fairfield County, CT, practice, he can determine if eyelid surgery is the right facial plastic surgery for you or whether a non-surgical option can help.
FIND OUT IF YOU'RE A CANDIDATEIndividuals considering surgery should not have any health issues that could cause complications.
Since nicotine can interfere with healing, it is important to stop with plenty of time before surgery.
While blepharoplasty can provide significant rejuvenation, it cannot completely reverse the effects of aging.
Dr. Newman can address the upper or lower eyelids when performing surgery at our Fairfield County, CT, facility. In both procedures, scars can be hidden in the lash line or the crease of the eyelid for natural-looking results.
Upper blepharoplasty can remove drooping skin and fat in the upper eyelids that can obscure vision and cause patients to look tired or angry.
Lower blepharoplasty can reduce puffiness and under-eye circles by tightening the skin and removing excess fat from the eyelids.
Modern Techniques Make Scarring Virtually Undetectable
Dr. Newman uses modern surgical techniques to minimize the appearance of scarring after blepharoplasty. In upper eyelid surgery, he creates incisions in the natural crease of the eyelid. For lower eyelid surgery, he can place the incision just below the lash line. Dr. Newman works carefully to provide patients with a rested and rejuvenated appearance with no obvious scarring.
Although the length of your procedure will vary depending on the extent of your surgery and whether you are combining other treatments, the procedure typically lasts one to two hours.
The anesthesiologist will provide anesthesia so that you remain unconscious during the entire procedure.
For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are made in the eyelid’s natural crease, beginning at the inside corner of the eye and extending past the outer corner.
During lower eyelid surgery, the incision is usually made just beneath the lower eyelashes. For those who do not require extensive adjustments, lower blepharoplasty can sometimes be performed with an incision on the inside of the eyelid.
Dr. Newman will carefully remove or reposition fatty tissue, tighten underlying muscle tissue, and trim away excess skin and fat as needed.
The incisions are then closed with sutures.
Elevating your head and applying cold compresses to the eyes will help to minimize any swelling from blepharoplasty. It is particularly important to rest with your head up so that the fluids causing the swelling cannot accumulate.
Bruising around the eyes will increase up to a point and then fade. However, you can use makeup to conceal any lingering discoloration after a week. You may also experience blurred vision, excess tears or dry eyes, itchiness in the area, or sensitivity to light. Stitches will be removed or will dissolve by the end of the week. After that, you can return to ordinary activity, but strenuous activities should be avoided for approximately a month after surgery.
After about four weeks, you can resume more strenuous activities and the use contact lenses. At this point, you should no longer experience blurry vision or sensitivity to light.
Most patients are pleased with their blepharoplasty experience and their newly invigorated appearance. In fact, greater confidence in one's appearance can often lend itself to greater confidence in professional and social engagements. Most people will not realize that you have undergone a surgical procedure but may comment that you look younger, healthier, and better rested.

The cost of blepharoplasty varies depending on several factors, including the patient's unique situation and desired aesthetic goals. To determine an accurate estimate, it is essential to have a private, in-person consultation with Dr. Fredric Newman at our practice in Fairfield County. During this consultation, Dr. Newman will assess your specific needs and discuss the recommended treatment plan. By considering your individual circumstances, Dr. Newman will provide you with detailed information regarding the cost of your blepharoplasty procedure.

During consultations at our Fairfield County, CT, practice, we discuss typical post-operative side effects of eyelid surgery, which include:
Discomfort
Some pain is common after many cosmetic procedures. However, the discomfort from eyelid surgery is usually minimal.
Bruising And Swelling
As with any plastic surgery procedure, some bruising and swelling can be expected. However, this generally fades in the days following treatment.
Blurry Vision
Dr. Newman applies an ointment to lubricate and protect the eyes. This can temporarily blur your vision.
Tightness Of The Skin
A result of post-surgical swelling, tightness, or itchiness of the skin usually diminishes quickly.
The venue where the surgery takes place is a significant cost factor. Hospitals are the costliest option, while an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) or third-party surgical venue costs less. Dr. Newman has his own surgical center certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, which is considered the gold standard for patient care and safety. In addition, the center meets the stringent requirements of the State of Connecticut, the same agency that credentials hospital operating rooms.
Having our own ambulatory surgical facility allows us to offer our patients increased privacy and provides significant cost savings compared to a hospital or ASC. We follow a strict screening protocol and do not treat anyone with infections. Patients need first to undergo pre-operative testing, after which they are cleared to receive treatment at our facility. This has ensured that we have an infection rate of nearly zero.
A reputable surgeon will likely cost more than a less experienced surgeon, but the likelihood of an excellent outcome is far greater.
Cost also varies according to the extent of treatment necessary to achieve your goals. A more dramatic change will cost more.
Blepharoplasty cost is typically higher for out-of-town and overseas patients simply because of the cost of accommodations.
Patients who undergo blepharoplasty to improve their vision can expect that insurance may cover a portion of the cost. If not, we can still recommend a number of financing options, including PatientNow and Comprehensive Finance, which offer low-interest monthly payment plans for qualified applicants. Dr. Newman and his team believe that treatment should be within reach for all individuals who desire it, and we will do everything we can to make your treatment more affordable at our Fairfield County practice.
Explore Your Options
For patients who are not ready to undergo surgery, Dr. Newman can recommend a non-surgical alternative such as microdermabrasion or laser treatments. However, it is important to remember that non-surgical treatments do not provide the same long-lasting results as eyelid surgery. You will likely need to undergo regular treatments to maintain your results. Non-surgical treatments, along with additional procedures such as facelift and browlift, can also enhance treatment results.
