Westchester County, New York
Introduction
Over time, the delicate skin around the upper eyelids can lose elasticity, leading to drooping, sagging, or puffiness. This not only makes you look tired or older than you feel, but, in some cases, excess skin can even affect your vision. Upper eyelid surgery, performed by Dr. Abraham Pathak, helps restore a refreshed, alert appearance that still looks completely natural.
At his practice in Purchase, NY, he works closely with each patient to design a personalized approach that balances function and aesthetics. His patients from Purchase, Westchester County, Greenwich, New York, and the greater Tri-State area benefit from his expertise, careful attention to detail, and ability to achieve results that feel natural rather than overdone.
Upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure offered by Dr. Pathak to improve the appearance and function of the upper eyelids.
The surgery can be purely cosmetic or functional, depending on your needs. For some patients, the goal is to brighten and refresh the eyes. For others, the procedure also helps improve peripheral vision that may be impaired by sagging skin.
The best candidates for Dr. Pathak’s upper eyelid surgery are individuals in the Westchester, NY, and nearby Greenwich, CT areas who have drooping or excess upper eyelid skin, puffiness, or a tired appearance that doesn’t match how they feel.
You may be a good candidate if you notice:
While most patients seeking this procedure are in their 40s or older, younger individuals may also benefit if sagging or puffiness is hereditary. During a consultation, Dr. Pathak will examine your eyelids and determine if upper eyelid surgery is right for you.
Dr. Pathak’s upper eyelid surgery’s most common benefits include:
Your first step toward upper eyelid surgery in New York and the Tri-State area begins with a consultation at Dr. Pathak’s Purchase practice. During this appointment, he takes time to learn about your goals, evaluate your eye and brow anatomy, and discuss what kind of results you hope to achieve. He also reviews your medical history, previous surgeries, and any vision-related issues.
This personalized consultation helps ensure your surgery plan fits your unique facial structure and expectations. Dr. Pathak will explain the details of the procedure, anesthesia options, and recovery process so you feel informed and comfortable before moving forward.
Your surgery will be done under local anesthesia with sedation, though some patients may prefer general anesthesia depending on their comfort level.
Dr. Pathak begins by marking the incision lines along the eyelid creases to ensure the scars remain virtually invisible once healed. Through these tiny incisions, he removes excess skin, tightens muscles, and repositions or removes fat deposits as needed.
Once the procedure is complete, a light protective ointment is applied, and you’ll rest in the recovery area for a short time before going home. Most patients return home the same day, accompanied by a friend or family member.
Your Guide to Post-Upper Eyelid Surgery Care
There will be swelling, bruising, and tightness around the eyes for the first few days. We tell our clients to use a cold compress during this time and to keep their head elevated, which helps reduce swelling and speed healing.
Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days and can go back to work in about a week. Any makeup and contact lenses can usually be worn again after 10 to 14 days once the incisions have healed, but it’s important to avoid too much activity for the first couple of weeks to prevent unnecessary swelling.
The cost of upper eyelid surgery in Purchase, Westchester County, Greenwich, New York, and the greater Tri-State area varies based on how difficult the procedure is, whether it’s combined with other treatments, the type of anesthesia used, the surgical technique, and whether the procedure is purely cosmetic or also functional.
