Understanding Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, is a precision surgical procedure designed to address sagging and puffy skin around the eyes. This transformative treatment can dramatically rejuvenate one's facial appearance by removing excess skin and repositioning underlying tissues.
Types of Blepharoplasty
- Upper Eyelid Lift: Removes excess skin obscuring the natural eye contour
- Lower Eyelid Lift: Reduces under-eye bags and wrinkles
- Asian Blepharoplasty: Specialized technique creating a subtle upper eyelid fold
Procedure Benefits
Blepharoplasty offers multiple aesthetic and functional advantages:
- Restores a more youthful, refreshed appearance
- Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags
- Can improve peripheral vision obstructed by drooping skin
- Provides long-lasting results
Ideal Candidates
Suitable candidates for blepharoplasty typically have:
- Healthy overall medical condition
- Realistic aesthetic expectations
- Noticeable skin laxity around the eyes
- Non-smokers or willing to quit before and after surgery
Procedure Details
The surgical approach varies based on individual needs. Incisions are strategically placed within natural eye creases to minimize visible scarring. Depending on the patient's requirements, surgeons can address upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities within one week. Final results gradually emerge as swelling subsides, revealing a more youthful and rejuvenated eye area.

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, blepharoplasty can be combined with:
- Brow Lift
