Eyelid Surgery

What is blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery, also known as Blepharoplasty, aim to correct the sagging skin on the upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes that can make you look older and more tired than you really feel. Sometimes this procedure has also a health benefit, as it helps improve your vision by removing the excess skin that restricts your field of view.

It is important to know that blepharoplasty won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows.

Blepharoplasty can help enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. It can help bring a refreshed look to your eyes, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or change your life.

The best candidates

The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are physically healthy, and realistic in their expectations. Bear in mind that upper eyelid surgery will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be performed alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or brow lift.

After surgery the upper eyelids no longer look saggy and the skin under the eyes is smooth and firm. Healing is a gradual process, and your scars may remain slightly pink for six months or more after surgery. For many people the alert, youthful look as a result of eyelid surgery is permanent.
