Eyelid surgery, or Blepharoplasty surgery as it is known in medical terms, can significantly improve the appearance of droopy, sagging looking eyes. This is done surgically by removing fat pockets and extra skin from either the lower or the upper eyelids, or sometimes both.
Some individuals prefer to combine blepharoplasty with other cosmetic procedures such as midface lift or brow lift and non-surgical procedures to address forehead and brow lines and crow's feet. This cosmetic surgical procedure can rejuvenate the appearance of the face and give you a younger more refreshed look.

What is the ultimate purpose of blepharoplasty surgery?
A blepharoplasty is ideal for treating puffy fat deposits in the upper or lower eyelids; sagging lower eyelids that may reveal the whites of the eyes under the irises and drooping upper eyelids. Also for drooping upper eyelids, folded or sagging eyelids which may impair vision, excess skin on the lower or upper eyelids, as well as fine creases on the lower eyelids.

What is Cosmetic Blepharoplasty?

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is used to remove fat rather than ...
... skin from the lower eyelid. Transconjunctival blepharoplasty involves making an incision inside the lower eyelid so that the fat is removed without leaving any visible skin incisions. This technique does not affect one’s vision and can give a person a younger and more refreshed appearance.

Oculoplastic surgeons typically perform functional blepharoplasty, as well as cosmetic or aesthetic blepharoplasty.

Who are good candidates for Blepharoplasty surgery?
In general, suitable candidates for blepharoplasty have sagging skin or creases on the skin of the eyelids or puffy skin beneath the lower eyelids. In some circumstances the sagging eyelid skin can also obstruct the patient’s eyesight.
What are the costs of blepharoplasty surgery?

Blepharoplasty surgery costs are often determined by various factors, including the technique and length of the procedure, the length of your hospitalisation recovery (if necessary), and any extra procedures required. Depending on whether both the upper and lower eyelids are operated on, the process might take anywhere from 45 minutes to three hours.
However, the overall cost of blepharoplasty surgery will be determined by your specific goals and needs. The final costs will therefore be influenced by a variety of factors. Don't be afraid to ask your surgeon any questions you may have, especially concerning your expectations and worries about the results, as well as the procedure's expenses.

Why is the first consultation with a blepharoplasty surgeon so important?
It is critical to provide a comprehensive medical history, including any allergies you have, during your initial appointment with your surgeon, as well as a list of prescription or over-the-counter medications and supplements and any other medical records.

During the first consultation, both you and the surgeon should thoroughly discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure. Your surgeon will describe how the blepharoplasty surgical techniques work, how it will be performed, exactly what it entails and whether any other treatments will be required.

When you consult a blepharoplasty surgeon, make sure you have done your research ahead and ensure that any potential risks are thoroughly acknowledged and addressed by the surgeon during your first consultation.
