Surgical Approaches in Huntingdon Valley

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat that can obstruct vision and create a heavy, aged appearance. Dr. DiBello strategically places incisions within natural eyelid creases to minimize visible scarring, often performing the procedure in his in-office surgical suite.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery targets bags, puffiness, and skin laxity beneath the eyes. Depending on individual anatomy, Dr. DiBello may utilize techniques including traditional incisions or transconjunctival approaches to achieve optimal rejuvenation.

Ethnic Considerations in Eyelid Surgery

Dr. DiBello understands that eyelid surgery must respect each patient's unique facial characteristics. Ethnic blepharoplasty is carefully designed to enhance natural beauty while preserving cultural identity, ensuring results that look harmonious and authentic.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience minimal discomfort with initial swelling and bruising resolving within 7-10 days. Dr. DiBello provides personalized post-operative instructions to support optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

Suitable candidates include healthy individuals with: • Excess upper eyelid skin • Puffy or bags under eyes • Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes • No significant underlying medical conditions
