Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic and/or functional procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It helps correct droopy or puffy eyelids, reduce under-eye bags, and create a more youthful, rested appearance. In some cases, it also improves vision obstructed by sagging upper eyelid skin.

How Does Eyelid Surgery Work?

Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case.

For upper eyelid surgery, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to remove or reposition fat and tighten skin.

For lower eyelid surgery, the incision is either placed just below the lash line or inside the lower lid (transconjunctival approach) to address puffiness and sagging.

The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, leaving minimal visible scarring. The entire procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours.

Post Eyelid Surgery Care

After blepharoplasty, it’s common to experience mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity around the eyes. Most symptoms resolve within 1 to 2 weeks. Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions is crucial to promote healing and protect your results.

Apply cold compresses – Use ice packs to reduce swelling and bruising, especially within the first 48 hours.

Sleep with your head elevated – Keeping your head elevated helps minimize fluid buildup and swelling.

Avoid rubbing your eyes or strenuous activity – Gentle care is key to preventing irritation and promoting healing.
