The eyes are often the first facial feature to show signs of aging. Drooping eyelids and under-eye bags can make you appear tired or older than you feel. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) offers a solution by removing excess skin and fat to create a more alert, youthful appearance.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooded or drooping eyelids that can sometimes even interfere with vision. Lower blepharoplasty focuses on reducing under-eye bags and smoothing the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
Many patients are surprised by how subtle yet impactful this procedure can be. Recovery is relatively quick compared to other facial surgeries, with most visible bruising subsiding within 1-2 weeks.
For optimal results, blepharoplasty is often combined with complementary procedures like brow lifting or skin resurfacing to address multiple aspects of periorbital aging. Non-surgical options like fillers can also enhance results for appropriate candidates.
Patients frequently report not just aesthetic improvement but also functional benefits after blepharoplasty, including a wider field of vision and reduced eye strain—proving that this procedure offers both cosmetic and practical advantages.
