  • Consultation: Surgeon assesses eyelid structure, discusses your goals, and recommends a suitable surgical plan.
  • Preparation: Pre-operative instructions cover medication adjustments and anesthesia preparation.
  • Upper Blepharoplasty: Incisions are made in the natural eyelid crease, with excess skin and fat removed or repositioned for a refreshed look.
  • Lower Blepharoplasty: Incisions are placed below the lash line or inside the eyelid, adjusting fat and skin to reduce bags and wrinkles.
  • Anesthesia and Duration: Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia; typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the procedure’s complexity.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or Eyelid Surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to refresh the appearance of the eyelids by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle. It addresses drooping lids, puffiness, and wrinkles, creating a more alert and youthful look. The surgery can target the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, based on individual goals.
