About this Procedure
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is an operation to remove excess skin or fat from the upper or lower eyelids. The NHS describes it as cosmetic surgery that changes the look of hooded or drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes. It can be carried out on the upper lids, the lower lids or both.
People consider blepharoplasty when loose eyelid skin makes them look tired or older, when upper lids feel heavy or hooded, or when fat under the eyes creates noticeable bags. It is a good idea to have your eyes and general health checked first, as a medical condition may be affecting the eyelids or may make the operation unsuitable. Results cannot be guaranteed, so it is important to have realistic expectations.
The procedure can be done under local or general anaesthetic. For upper lids, the surgeon usually makes a cut along the natural crease so the scar is hidden in the fold; for lower lids, the cut is just below the lashes or inside the eyelid, and fat may be repositioned or removed. The NHS says eyelid surgery may take around 45 minutes to 2 and a half hours, most people go home the same day, and many take about 2 weeks off work. Bruising can take several weeks to fade.
At Medwell, blepharoplasty is arranged at Paras Health, Gurugram, a partner hospital in Delhi NCR. Your plastic surgeon assesses your eyelids in consultation and confirms whether surgery is suitable for you.
