What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Whether you’re dealing with drooping upper lids, sagging lower lids, or excess skin around your eyes, blepharoplasty can help restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This surgery not only enhances your aesthetic appeal but can also improve your field of vision if sagging eyelids are obstructing it.
Key Benefits of Blepharoplasty:
- Youthful Appearance: Reduces puffiness and removes excess skin to create a more alert and vibrant look.
- Enhanced Vision: Eliminates sagging eyelids that may impair your peripheral vision.
- Long-Lasting Results: Provides durable improvements with proper care and a healthy lifestyle.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure
Understanding what to expect during your blepharoplasty can help ease any concerns and prepare you for a successful surgery. Here’s an overview of the procedure:
Consultation and Planning
During your initial consultation, our surgeons will assess your medical history, examine your eyelids, and discuss your aesthetic goals. We’ll create a customized surgical plan to address your specific concerns and ensure the best possible outcome.
The Surgery
Blepharoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and patient preference. The surgery involves:
- Upper Blepharoplasty: Making incisions along the natural creases of the upper eyelids to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle.
- Lower Blepharoplasty: Making incisions just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid to eliminate puffiness and excess skin.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-surgery, you’ll experience some swelling and bruising around the eyes, which typically subsides within two weeks. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, including tips on managing discomfort, caring for incisions, and when to resume normal activities.
Recovery Tips:
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.
- Apply cold compresses as directed.
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least two weeks.
