Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin and fat that can give them a tired or aged appearance.
As we age, it’s natural for wrinkles and loose skin to appear, which can make us look older than we feel. This procedure aims to restore a refreshed, youthful look to our patients. After a thorough evaluation, we can combine blepharoplasty with other procedures like a brow lift (frontoplasty) for enhanced results.

Approximately 7 days.
3 to 6 months.
Before the procedure, your surgeon will evaluate your eyelids and discuss your goals. You may need to stop certain medications and follow preoperative instructions. After blepharoplasty, you can expect reduced puffiness, fewer wrinkles around the eyes, and a refreshed, youthful look. Swelling and bruising are common but should subside over the course of a few weeks, with final results becoming more noticeable in 3 to 6 months.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty focuses on addressing issues such as under-eye bags, excess skin, and fat deposits. The goal is to create a smoother, more youthful appearance by tightening the skin and removing or repositioning fat to eliminate puffiness or sagging under the eyes.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty aims to eliminate excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, a condition that can cause the eyes to appear droopy or fatigued. In some cases, it can also improve vision if sagging skin obstructs the field of view. The outcome is a more alert and refreshed appearance, yielding natural results that do not make the surgery obvious.
Recovery after blepharoplasty typically takes about 7 to 10 days for the initial healing period, though mild swelling and bruising may last longer. You’ll need to rest with your head elevated, apply cold compresses, and avoid strenuous activities. Full recovery and final results may take up to 3–6 months as the tissue fully heals.
After blepharoplasty, proper aftercare is essential for a smooth recovery. Your surgeon will recommend using cold compresses to reduce swelling, avoiding rubbing your eyes, and applying prescribed ointments to aid healing. It's also important to protect the area from the sun and avoid makeup for at least a week. Follow all post-op instructions closely to ensure optimal results.
