What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a precise and transformative procedure that rejuvenates the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. As one of the first areas to show signs of aging, the eyes can appear tired, puffy, or droopy—even with adequate rest.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your treatment plan and comfort level. The procedure generally lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending on whether the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both are being addressed.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from blepharoplasty is generally quick and manageable. Swelling and bruising peak within 48 hours and subside over 1–2 weeks. Cold compresses and head elevation help reduce these effects. Discomfort is minimal and controlled with medication. Stitches are removed within 4–7 days, and most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, avoiding strenuous exercise for about 3 weeks. Final results refine over 1–3 months and are long-lasting.

Types of Blepharoplasty

Our clinic offers several specialized approaches to eyelid surgery, each tailored to address specific concerns:

  • Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to reduce hooding and create a more open, refreshed appearance.

  • Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Targets under-eye bags and puffiness, often repositioning fat rather than removing it to avoid a hollow or sunken look.

  • Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: Uses an internal incision inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible external scar—ideal for patients needing fat removal or repositioning only.

  • Canthopexy / Canthoplasty: Provides added support by tightening or reshaping the outer corners of the eyes, often performed alongside lower eyelid surgery.

  • Asian Blepharoplasty: Creates or enhances an upper eyelid crease to achieve a natural, defined look while respecting and preserving ethnic characteristics.

  • Functional Blepharoplasty: A medically necessary procedure aimed at improving vision impaired by drooping upper eyelid skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

You may be a good candidate if you have droopy or sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess skin around the eyes that affects your appearance or vision. Ideal candidates are healthy, non-smokers with realistic expectations.

Blepharoplasty is designed to improve appearance and, in some cases, vision if drooping skin interferes with eyesight. When performed correctly, it does not negatively affect eye function. Temporary dryness or blurred vision may occur during healing.

Scars from blepharoplasty are typically minimal and well-hidden within the natural folds of the eyelids. With proper care, they usually fade significantly over time and become barely noticeable.

Results from blepharoplasty are long-lasting. Upper eyelid surgery may last 5 to 10 years or more, while lower eyelid results are often permanent. However, natural aging will continue over time.
