Eyelid surgery is a popular choice for those seeking a more youthful appearance. Age-related changes like sagging and drooping eyelids can be addressed, leading to a refreshed look.
Eyelid surgery can effectively target heavy eyelids and under-eye bags, helping individuals appear more awake and revitalized.
Many patients experience a significant boost in self-esteem and confidence following eyelid surgery, as they feel happier with their appearance.
Individuals who frequently raise their eyebrows to compensate for impaired vision due to sagging eyelids may develop forehead wrinkles. Eyelid surgery can alleviate this issue, potentially reducing wrinkle formation.
Sagging upper eyelids can obstruct vision. Eyelid surgery can address this functional issue, improving daily activities and enhancing the visual field.
Unlike some cosmetic procedures, eyelid surgery offers long-term benefits. While results can vary, many patients enjoy the effects for 10–15 years
Eyelid surgery typically involves discreet incisions placed within natural folds and creases, resulting in minimal scarring.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This can improve vision obscured by droopy eyelids and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. There are also different techniques, such as traditional incisional surgery and transconjunctival blepharoplasty (where the incision is made inside the lower eyelid).
Good candidates are typically in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. This procedure is suitable for those with sagging or drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess skin that affects their vision or appearance.
Blepharoplasty can reduce puffiness, bags under the eyes, drooping upper eyelids, and wrinkles around the eyes. It can improve peripheral vision and create a more alert and rejuvenated look.
The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions (either in the natural crease of the upper eyelid or inside the lower eyelid), removes excess tissue, and repositions or tightens muscles as needed.
The duration varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but it typically takes 1-3 hours.
The incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids or inside the lower eyelid, making scars very well-concealed once healed.
Recovery typically involves swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first week or two. Most people can return to work and normal activities within 7-10 days.
While initial results are noticeable after swelling subsides, the final results may take several weeks or even months to fully develop as the tissues heal and settle.
Possible risks and side effects include infection, bleeding, dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, asymmetry, and changes in vision (rare).
Blepharoplasty should not negatively affect your vision. In fact, it can often improve peripheral vision if droopy eyelids were obstructing it.
