Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and puffiness. The result is a more refreshed, youthful, and rested appearance around the eyes.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelids by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and tissue around the eyes.
Upper eyelid surgery helps correct drooping lids and excess skin, while lower eyelid surgery reduces puffiness, under-eye bags, and tired-looking contours. Together, these procedures create a smoother, brighter, and more youthful appearance.
This procedure primarily addresses:
Modern blepharoplasty techniques focus on natural-looking rejuvenation while preserving facial expression and eye shape.
Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, the procedure typically takes 1–3 hours. Excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned to refresh and brighten the eye area.
As healing progresses, the eyes appear brighter, smoother, and more youthful while maintaining natural facial expression.
Reduces heaviness and puffiness around the eyes for a refreshed, rested look.
Removes excess skin and sagging tissue to improve eyelid contour and definition.
Minimizes puffiness and fat deposits beneath the eyes for a smoother lower eyelid appearance.
Upper eyelid surgery may improve peripheral vision when excess skin interferes with sight.
Modern techniques focus on subtle enhancement while preserving natural eye shape and expression.
Many patients feel more confident and youthful in photos, social settings, and everyday life.
Common during the first 1–2 weeks. Most symptoms gradually improve with proper care and recovery.
Some patients may experience temporary dryness, tearing, or eye sensitivity during healing.
Incisions are carefully placed within natural eyelid folds or inside the lower eyelid to minimize visible scarring.
Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia carries standard risks, which are carefully monitored by the medical team.
Mild blurred vision or light sensitivity may occur temporarily during the recovery period.
Healing differs from patient to patient. Minor asymmetry or additional adjustments may occasionally be required.
