Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and/or fat from the upper or lower eyelids to improve their shape and appearance.
As we age, the muscles around the eyes weaken and the skin loses elasticity. This can lead to folds in the upper eyelids, deep creases in the lower lids, and bulging fat pads, resulting in the appearance of eye bags and a tired look.
Blepharoplasty is commonly chosen to refresh the eyes and reduce the appearance of tiredness caused by heavy or drooping eyelids. This procedure can diminish under-eye bags, creating a more alert and rejuvenated look.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, eyelid surgery can improve eye symmetry and, in some cases, restore clear vision. Excess upper eyelid skin can obstruct the visual field, particularly peripheral vision, and blepharoplasty can remove this obstruction, enhancing both appearance and function.
Remove sagging skin and droopy lids to achieve a more youthful, rejuvenated look.
Lifted eyelids and reduced under-eye bags help you appear less tired and more alert.
Improved eyelid shape can enhance overall facial aesthetics, leaving you feeling more confident.
Excess upper eyelid skin can obstruct your sight—surgery clears the visual field for better day-to-day function.
Lifting droopy eyelids lessens the need to raise your brows, helping prevent deep lines and wrinkles.
With results often lasting 10–15 years, blepharoplasty provides a durable solution for sagging eyelids.
Incisions are carefully hidden in natural folds or under the lash line, leaving barely noticeable scars.
Refined eyelids can make your expressions appear more open, friendly, and approachable.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, reshapes the upper and/or lower eyelids to reduce sagging, drooping, puffiness, and under-eye bags. Upper eyelid surgery refreshes hooded or tired-looking eyes, while lower eyelid surgery can smooth wrinkles and eye bags. Beyond cosmetic benefits, the procedure can also improve vision in cases where excess upper eyelid skin obstructs the visual field.
Performed under local or twilight anaesthesia, incisions are carefully placed within natural eyelid folds or just below the lash line for minimal visible scarring. Fat deposits can be removed or repositioned, and muscles tightened to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Recovery typically takes 1–2 weeks, with full results visible in about 4 weeks and scars continuing to improve over 12–18 months.
