Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and tissue from the eyelids to create a more youthful, rested appearance. It’s commonly chosen by individuals who struggle with sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, or a tired look that doesn’t improve with sleep or skincare. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and can address the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your needs.

• Upper blepharoplasty focuses on correcting drooping skin on the upper eyelids that may interfere with vision or make the eyes look heavy and aged. The surgeon makes a small incision in the natural crease of the eyelid, through which they remove or reposition skin and fat to lift the lid. This not only enhances the eye’s appearance but can also improve sight if sagging skin obstructs your peripheral vision.
• Lower blepharoplasty is aimed at reducing puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose or wrinkled skin beneath the eyes. The incision is usually made just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), depending on the technique and the amount of correction needed. This procedure smooths and tightens the under-eye area, helping you look more awake and refreshed.
