We are proud to have achieved remarkable results for our patients through Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty surgeries. This transformative procedure is designed to rejuvenate the eyes, enhancing not just appearance but also confidence. With a patient-centered approach, our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional outcomes tailored to individual needs.


What Is Blepharoplasty?


Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It can address issues such as:

  • Excess skin that creates sagging or droopy eyelids.

  • Puffiness or bags under the eyes.

  • Fine wrinkles and folds around the eyes.

This procedure is ideal for those seeking a refreshed and youthful look, or those experiencing functional issues like impaired vision caused by droopy eyelids.


Types of Blepharoplasty


There are two main types of blepharoplasty, and the technique best suited for you will be determined after a detailed consultation with your doctor:


  1. Upper Blepharoplasty: Focuses on removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelids to reduce sagging and improve eyelid contour. This type is often performed for both cosmetic and functional purposes.


  2. Lower Blepharoplasty: Addresses puffiness, bags, and fine lines under the eyes by removing or redistributing fat and tightening the skin.

The doctor will recommend the most appropriate technique based on your specific concerns, facial anatomy, and desired results.


The Procedure


Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgery and patient preference.


  • Upper Blepharoplasty: An incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin, fat, and muscle are carefully removed or repositioned.


  • Lower Blepharoplasty: The incision is usually made just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach). Fat is either removed or redistributed, and the skin may be tightened if necessary.

The procedure generally lasts 1-3 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower eyelids are being treated.


Post-Surgery Care and Recovery


To ensure optimal healing and results, patients should follow these aftercare instructions:

  • Use prescribed eye drops and ointments to keep the area clean and moist.

  • Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over for at least two weeks.

  • Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.

  • Protect the eyes from direct sunlight by wearing sunglasses.

Most patients experience swelling and bruising for about 1-2 weeks. The majority of visible results become apparent within 4-6 weeks, with final outcomes settling after a few months as the tissues fully heal.

Our Blepharoplasty surgeries are performed by a highly skilled and experienced surgeon, supported by a dedicated medical team. Every step of the process, from consultation to recovery, is designed to prioritize patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction.
