Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper lids or lower eyelids. This surgery not only improves the appearance of tired or drooping eyes but can also enhance vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs sight.
Whether you are considering cosmetic enhancement or addressing functional issues, understanding the procedure, risks, and outcomes is crucial before deciding on eyelid surgery.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that focuses on improving the appearance and function of the eyelids. It can target:
Upper eyelids – to remove sagging skin that may obstruct vision or make the eyes look tired.
Lower eyelids – to reduce puffiness and under-eye bags.
The surgery carefully removes excess skin, fat, or tissue to create a smooth, youthful eyelid contour. It can also be combined with other facial procedures, such as a brow lift or facelift, for complete facial rejuvenation.
Blepharoplasty is ideal for individuals who:
Have drooping upper eyelids that affect vision.
Notice puffiness or under-eye bags caused by fat deposits.
Want to rejuvenate the appearance of their eyes.
Are in good overall health with realistic expectations.
Note: Blepharoplasty does not treat wrinkles, crow’s feet, or dark circles. Other treatments may be recommended alongside surgery for complete eye rejuvenation.
