Skin Pinch Surgery NYC

A "skin pinch" is a targeted procedure designed to address crepey, sagging skin beneath the eyes, helping you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance. By removing excess skin without disrupting the delicate under-eye structure, this procedure can smooth the skin and restore vitality to your eyes.

How Is Skin Pinch Surgery Performed?

If you feel that sagging skin beneath your eyes makes you appear older or more tired, the skin pinch procedure may be an ideal solution. Performed under local anesthesia, this procedure takes about one hour. The excess skin is "pinched" and trimmed away using a specialized surgical tool, and tiny incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. Skin pinch surgery can also be combined with upper eyelid surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Benefits of Skin Pinch Surgery

Skin pinch surgery offers numerous advantages, including:

Safe and minimally invasive
Fast procedure with natural-looking results
No need for general anesthesia
Smooths crepey undereye skin
Short recovery time, usually around 5-7 days
Provides a well-rested, youthful appearance
