What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelids. It involves removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to achieve a more rejuvenated and youthful look. Eyelid surgery can address concerns such as drooping eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags.

Who is a suitable candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Individuals who have sagging or drooping eyelids, puffiness, or under-eye bags may be suitable candidates for eyelid surgery. It is important to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. A consultation with a qualified oculoplastic surgeon is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

How is Eyelid Surgery performed?

During eyelid surgery, incisions are made along the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring. The surgeon removes excess skin, fat, and muscle as needed. For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is typically made in the eyelid crease. For lower eyelid surgery, the incision may be made just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures.

What is the recovery process like?

After eyelid surgery, patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Cold compresses and prescribed medications can help alleviate these symptoms. It is important to follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions, which may include using eye drops, avoiding strenuous activities, and protecting the eyes from sunlight or irritants. Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities within a week or two, depending on the extent of the surgery.
