Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) – Restore a Youthful Look

The eyes are one of the most expressive and defining features of the face. However, several factors such as aging, sun exposure, smoking, obesity, and loss of skin elasticity can lead to sagging, drooping, or puffy eyelids. These changes can make a person look older, tired, or even impair vision in severe cases.

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid lift surgery, is a highly effective procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. By tightening muscles, repositioning fat, and removing excess skin, this procedure provides a refreshed and youthful look while maintaining natural facial harmony.

Why Consider Blepharoplasty?

• Drooping upper eyelids that impair vision
• Puffy bags under the eyes that create a tired appearance
• Loose or sagging skin that distorts the natural contour of the eyelid
• A desire to achieve a more youthful and alert appearance

Who is a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?
The ideal candidates for eyelid lift surgery are:

• Individuals in good overall health
• Non-smokers
• Those without serious eye conditions
• People with realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes

The Blepharoplasty Procedure
The surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs. It is typically conducted under local anesthesia with sedation, but general anesthesia may be used for anxious patients. The procedure usually takes between 1 to 2 hours.

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: An incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid. Excess fat and skin are removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened.
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: An incision is made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid. Fat deposits are repositioned, and excess skin is removed to smooth the under-eye area.

After the procedure, the incisions are closed with sutures and covered with gauze to aid healing.

Recovery & Results

• Most patients can resume work within two days but should avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks.
• Swelling and bruising gradually subside within two weeks, with final results visible over the next few months.
• Scars are well-concealed within the natural folds of the eyelids and fade over time.
• Results are long-lasting, enhancing facial aesthetics while maintaining natural expression.
