Eyes are powerful. They tell stories, express emotion, and often reveal age before anything else. It’s no wonder so many people come to us asking how to look more refreshed—less tired, more vibrant. The answer? For many, it starts with a simple but precise procedure: blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift.
At Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center in Pittsburgh, this refined surgical option is performed with meticulous care by Dr. Roxana Barad. Her focus is never on changing how you look. It’s about helping you look more like yourself—just better rested and subtly renewed.
The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than anywhere else on the face. It’s also constantly in motion—blinking, squinting, smiling. Over time, that movement, along with changes in collagen and fat distribution, can lead to drooping lids, under-eye puffiness, and fine lines.
Genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle play a role, too. For many of our patients, these changes come earlier than expected or seem to accelerate suddenly, especially during perimenopause or weight shifts. And that’s completely normal.
Still, when the outside starts to mismatch how youthful and energized you feel on the inside, it can be frustrating. That’s where our approach begins.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that refreshes the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, repositioning or reducing fat, and tightening the delicate structures around the eyes. It’s designed to open up the eye area, smooth puffiness, and create a more rested, youthful look.
At our center, it’s often part of a broader rejuvenation plan tailored to your needs. Dr. Barad is known for her nuanced technique and conservative approach—results are natural, never overdone.
Some clients choose surgery alone. Others enhance their outcome with skin-firming treatments like Sofwave, collagen stimulators like PDO threads, or volume-restoring solutions such as Renuva or Hyperdilute Radiesse.
These signs are common and affect both women and men. We see patients from their 30s to their 70s. What matters most is what you see when you look in the mirror—and how you feel about it.
When it comes to aging, we know it’s never just about one thing. That’s why we take a full-spectrum view of eye rejuvenation, combining surgical and non-surgical options for the most refined results possible.
These therapies can be scheduled as part of a broader anti-aging plan or added to enhance and maintain the results of your eyelid lift over time.
Clients often come in asking about eyelids—but the conversation naturally expands. That’s because the eyes don’t exist in isolation. A refreshed eye area might highlight volume loss in the cheeks, loose skin on the neck, or changes in skin texture elsewhere.
We offer personalized plans that may include:
Each recommendation is based on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. Some prefer no-downtime treatments that fit into a busy schedule. Others choose more intensive solutions with faster, more dramatic results.
Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center isn’t a high-volume clinic. It’s a physician-led practice, grounded in deep expertise and personal attention. Dr. Barad brings decades of medical training—along with an artistic eye and a warm, thoughtful presence.
This is a place where you’re heard. Your concerns are respected. And your treatment plan is always built for you, not copied from someone else’s results on social media.
