What is Eyelid Surgery?
Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct:
- Droopy or sagging eyelids.
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes.
- Excess skin causing vision impairment.
The procedure enhances the natural contours of your eyes and leaves you looking more alert, rested, and youthful.
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

- Improves peripheral vision in cases of obstructed eyesight.

- Boosts self-confidence with lasting results.
The Procedure: What to Expect
- Consultation: A one-on-one consultation to understand your concerns and goals.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for your comfort.
- Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat to create a smoother contour.
- Lower Eyelid Surgery: Correction of puffiness and sagging, often through an incision inside the lower eyelid or just beneath the lash line.
- Closing Incisions: Discreetly sutured for minimal scarring.
The entire process typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
