Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery or an eye lift, is a surgical procedure designed to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance to the eyes by addressing the visible signs of aging in the upper and/or lower eyelids. Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes begins to stretch, and the supportive tissues weaken, allowing fat pads to bulge forward. This can result in puffiness, sagging skin, and a “tired” or “heavy” appearance—even when you feel well-rested.
In some cases, excess upper eyelid skin can also impair peripheral vision, making blepharoplasty both a cosmetic and functional procedure. By removing or repositioning excess skin and fat, this surgery can brighten the eyes, smooth contours, and in some patients, improve visual field obstruction.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and can involve the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both—depending on your individual anatomy and goals. Ideal candidates are those in good overall health who are bothered by drooping eyelid skin, under-eye puffiness, or functional concerns related to vision.
Recovery is generally well tolerated, with mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling that gradually resolve over the first one to two weeks. Initial improvements are visible shortly after surgery, with final results becoming more apparent as the healing process continues.
The benefits of eyelid surgery can be dramatic—revealing a more alert, youthful appearance and in some cases, enhancing peripheral vision. Many patients find that blepharoplasty improves both their confidence and their overall facial balance.
As with any surgical procedure, eyelid surgery carries potential risks and complications, which will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation.
