Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Refresh Your Eyes, Reclaim Your Vision

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This treatment restores a more youthful, alert appearance and can even improve vision when sagging skin interferes with sight.

What Blepharoplasty Treats

  • Droopy or sagging upper eyelids
  • Puffy under-eye bags
  • Wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes
  • Vision obstruction due to excess eyelid skin
  • Tired or aged appearance

Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your specific needs.

Blepharoplasty Procedure – Step-by-Step
Consultation & Preparation
  • Detailed evaluation of eyelid structure, skin elasticity, and personal goals.
  • Medical history review and pre-surgery testing.
  • Customized pre-operative instructions.
Anesthesia Administration
  • Local anesthesia with sedation for minor surgeries.
  • General anesthesia for more extensive procedures.
Surgical Process
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty:
  • A small incision is made along the natural upper eyelid crease.
  • Removal or repositioning of excess skin, fat, and muscle.
  • Fine sutures are used to ensure minimal scarring.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty:
  • An incision is made either just below the lower lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach).
  • Fat deposits are removed or repositioned to reduce puffiness.
  • Incision closed with dissolvable sutures or allowed to heal naturally.
Recovery & Aftercare
  • Cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising.
  • Stitches removed in 5–7 days.
  • Most swelling subsides within 1–2 weeks.
Procedure Timeline
  • Surgery Time: 45 minutes to 2 hours
  • Downtime: 1–2 weeks (return to work and light activities)
  • Full Recovery: 4–6 weeks
  • Final Results: Visible after a few months as the skin fully settles
