How Does Blepharoplasty Work
Blepharoplasty works by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat through tiny incisions hidden in the natural eyelid creases or just below the lower lash line. Upper blepharoplasty focuses on drooping lids, while lower blepharoplasty targets bags and puffiness. The approach is tailored to your anatomy to maintain a natural eyelid contour.
What are benefits of Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty can create a brighter, more rested appearance and may improve vision if upper eyelid heaviness is blocking sight. Results are long lasting and subtle, helping you look refreshed without obvious signs of surgery.
FAQ's
What concerns does eyelid surgery improve?
Upper eyelid surgery reduces drooping skin and heaviness, while lower eyelid surgery improves bags, puffiness and under eye fullness. It can also help refine eyelid contour for a smoother look. Your surgeon will advise whether your concern is best addressed surgically or with complementary treatments.
Is recovery difficult?
Recovery is usually straightforward, with swelling and bruising most noticeable during the first week. Many patients return to work within seven to ten days depending on healing. The eye area continues to refine over several weeks as subtle swelling settles.
Will it change my eye shape?
When performed correctly, blepharoplasty should not change your natural eye shape. The goal is to restore a fresher version of your eyes rather than create an artificial look. A personalised plan ensures your eyelids remain balanced and expressive.
Are scars visible?
Scars are typically hidden in natural creases and fade well over time. In lower eyelid surgery, incisions may be placed inside the eyelid in suitable cases, leaving no visible scar. Good aftercare and sun protection support discreet healing.
How long do results last?
Results often last many years because excess skin and puffiness are physically reduced. Ageing continues naturally, but most patients continue to look refreshed long term. Maintaining good skincare and healthy lifestyle habits can help prolong the result.
