What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It can remove or adjust extra skin, fat, or muscle around the eyes.

Upper blepharoplasty usually focuses on heavy, droopy, or hooded upper eyelids. Lower blepharoplasty focuses on puffy under-eyes, eye bags, and loose skin below the eyes.

The right treatment plan depends on your eyelid shape, skin quality, brow position, eye health, and the result you want.

What Concerns Can Eyelid Surgery Treat?

  • Droopy upper eyelids
  • Hooded eyelids
  • Heavy eyelid skin
  • Puffy under-eyes
  • Eye bags
  • Loose lower eyelid skin
  • Tired-looking eyes
  • Uneven eyelid folds
  • Upper eyelid skin that affects vision

Blepharoplasty does not treat every concern around the eyes. A consultation is important before deciding on surgery.

Upper vs Lower Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty treats extra skin or fat on the upper eyelids. The incision usually sits in the natural upper eyelid crease.

  • Hooded eyelids
  • Droopy upper eyelid skin
  • Heavy upper lids
  • Skin that blocks part of vision

How Upper Blepharoplasty is Performed

For upper blepharoplasty, the incision usually follows the natural upper eyelid crease so extra skin can be removed and small fat pockets can be adjusted when needed.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower blepharoplasty treats puffiness, eye bags, and loose skin under the eyes. Incision can be near lash line or inside eyelid in selected cases.

  • Puffy under-eyes
  • Eye bags
  • Lower eyelid fat bulging
  • Loose lower eyelid skin

How Lower Blepharoplasty is Performed

For lower blepharoplasty, the incision may be placed just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid in selected cases, and fat may be removed or repositioned with skin adjustment based on your concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that treats extra skin, fat, or muscle around the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.

Yes. Blepharoplasty is the medical name for eyelid surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty treats droopy, hooded, or heavy upper eyelids. It usually focuses on extra skin or fat on the upper eyelid.

Lower blepharoplasty treats puffy under-eyes, eye bags, and loose lower eyelid skin.

Yes, some patients can do upper and lower blepharoplasty together. Your surgeon will confirm this after checking your eyelids and medical history.

Blepharoplasty is generally safe when done by a qualified surgeon, but it still has risks. These may include swelling, bruising, infection, dry eyes, scarring, asymmetry, and rare vision-related problems.

Early recovery often takes around 7 to 10 days, but swelling can take several weeks to settle fully.

Most patients feel mild discomfort, tightness, swelling, or irritation after eyelid surgery. Severe pain is not expected and should be reported to the clinic.

Upper eyelid incisions usually sit in the natural eyelid crease. Lower eyelid incisions may sit near the lash line or inside the eyelid in selected cases. Scar healing varies from person to person.

Blepharoplasty can improve puffiness and eye bags caused by fat or loose skin. It may not remove dark circles caused by pigmentation, thin skin, or hollowing.

It may help if extra upper eyelid skin blocks part of your field of vision. Your surgeon will check this during consultation.

The cost depends on whether you need upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both. It also depends on case difficulty, anaesthesia, and care plan. You will get a cost estimate after consultation.

This depends on your healing. Wait until your surgeon says it is safe to apply makeup around the eyes.

Some lower eyelid cases can be done through an incision inside the eyelid, which avoids an external skin incision. Not every patient is suitable for this method.

There is no fixed best age for blepharoplasty. Some people choose it for natural eyelid shape, while others choose it later for age-related sagging or puffiness.

You need a consultation. The surgeon will check whether your concern comes from extra skin, fat, brow position, pigmentation, hollowing, or another cause.
