is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle.
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, focuses on rejuvenating the upper or lower eyelids. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, causing the eyelids to sag or droop which may result in a tired, aged appearance and, in some cases, can even impair vision. The procedure can be done on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs. In many cases, patients choose to have both upper and lower blepharoplasty to achieve a complete rejuvenation of the eye area.
As the eyes are often the focal point of the face, drooping eyelids or under-eye bags can make a person look older or more tired than they feel. By removing excess skin and fat, blepharoplasty restores a youthful, refreshed look.
In cases where the upper eyelid droops over the eye (a condition known as ptosis), blepharoplasty can help lift the eyelid, improving peripheral vision. This can be particularly important for older patients whose sagging eyelids obstruct their ability to see clearly.
Many patients seek blepharoplasty to feel more confident about their appearance. Correcting tired, puffy eyes can significantly improve self-esteem and the way others perceive you.
This can occur immediately after surgery but typically resolves within a few days.
Some patients may experience dry eyes or irritation after surgery, which can be managed with lubricating eye drops.
Scars from the incisions are usually well hidden within the natural folds of the eyelids, but they may take time to fade completely.
It is common to experience swelling and bruising around the eyes, which will gradually subside over the first week. Using cold compresses and keeping the head elevated can help reduce these symptoms.
Mild discomfort, irritation, or tightness in the eyelids may occur during the first few days. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage any discomfort.
For patients who have external sutures, these are typically removed within 5 to 7 days after surgery.
Patients are advised to use prescribed ointments and eye drops to keep the area lubricated and prevent dryness or irritation.
Patients should avoid strenuous activities, bending over, or lifting heavy objects for at least 2 weeks to prevent unnecessary strain on the healing incisions. Sunglasses should be worn to protect the eyes from the sun and wind while healing.
The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for years. Upper eyelid surgery can last for 5 to 10 years, while lower eyelid surgery often provides permanent results. Although blepharoplasty cannot stop the ageing process, it can significantly refresh and brighten your overall facial appearance.
Most patients report feeling more alert, youthful, and confident after the procedure. For those who have undergone surgery for functional reasons, improved vision is often a significant benefit, allowing them to carry out daily activities more comfortably.
