BLEPHAROPLASTY
Awaken your look.
WHAT IS BLEPHAROPLASTY?
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid lift) is a cosmetic or functional surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
​
Here’s a simple breakdown:
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty removes or tightens excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat that causes drooping or sagging lids — often improving vision if the skin obstructs the eyes.
​
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty focuses on reducing puffiness, bags, or wrinkles under the eyes by repositioning or removing fat and tightening the skin.
HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE WORK?
Blepharoplasty is usually done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s comfort.
1. Marking and Preparation
The surgeon carefully marks where incisions will be made to follow the natural lines and creases of your eyelids, ensuring minimal visible scarring.
​
2. Upper Eyelid Surgery
A small incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid.
The surgeon removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat that cause drooping or heaviness.
The incision is then closed with fine sutures, often hidden in the eyelid’s natural fold.
​
3. Lower Eyelid Surgery
The incision may be made just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (a “transconjunctival” approach with no visible scar).
The surgeon removes or repositions fat deposits to smooth out under-eye bags and may tighten loose skin if needed.
The area is then carefully closed with tiny sutures.
WHO IS SUITABLE FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY?
Blepharoplasty is suitable for individuals who have drooping upper eyelids, puffiness, or bags under the eyes that make them look tired or older. It’s ideal for people in good overall health, who have realistic expectations and want to improve the appearance or function of their eyelids. Many candidates are in their 30s to 60s, though age isn’t the main factor — it’s more about the condition of the skin and eyelid tissues.
