Blepharoplasty
What is Blepharoplasty ?
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This treatment rejuvenates the eye area, giving a more youthful, alert appearance while also improving vision in cases where drooping eyelids obstruct sight.
If you are considering eyelid surgery to rejuvenate your appearance or improve your vision, consult our experienced specialists to discuss Blepharoplasty options tailored to your needs. Achieve a refreshed, confident look with safe and effective treatment.
Why Consider Blepharoplasty?
Over time, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity, and fat deposits can accumulate, leading to:
- Droopy or sagging upper eyelids
- Puffy bags under the eyes
- Excess skin that affects vision
- A tired or aged facial appearance
Blepharoplasty corrects these concerns, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and eye function.
Types of Blepharoplasty
✅ Upper Eyelid Surgery
Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, correcting droopiness that may impair vision.
✅ Lower Eyelid Surgery
Removes or redistributes fat to reduce under-eye bags and tighten the lower eyelid area.
✅ Combined Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty
Addresses both upper and lower eyelids in a single surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Benefits of Blepharoplasty
- Restores a youthful, refreshed eye appearance
- Improves peripheral vision affected by drooping skin
- Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags
- Enhances facial harmony and confidence
- Long-lasting results with minimal scarring
The Blepharoplasty Procedure
Consultation
- Your surgeon will assess your eyelid concerns, eye health, and goals to plan a customized procedure.
Surgery
- Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia.
- Small incisions are made along natural eyelid creases to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle.
- Incisions are closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
Duration
- The surgery usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on whether both eyelids are treated.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Mild swelling and bruising are common for 1-2 weeks.
- Cold compresses help reduce discomfort.
- Stitches are removed within 5-7 days.
- Most patients return to normal activities within 10-14 days, with full recovery over several weeks.
Is Blepharoplasty Safe?
Blepharoplasty is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced plastic or oculoplastic surgeon. Risks are minimal but may include temporary blurred vision, dryness, or mild asymmetry, which are managed effectively with proper care.
