FAQs
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids to improve appearance or correct vision issues caused by drooping lids.
Who is a good candidate for blepharoplasty?
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals who experience sagging upper eyelids, puffiness, or bags under the eyes. It’s commonly chosen for both cosmetic reasons and functional concerns, like impaired vision.
Is blepharoplasty painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, with or without sedation. Most patients report minimal discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
What is the typical recovery time?
Swelling and bruising usually subside within 7 to 10 days. Most people feel comfortable returning to work and social activities after one week, although full recovery can take several weeks.
Are there any risks or side effects?
As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, scarring, dry eyes, or temporary blurred vision. These are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced medical professional.
Will there be visible scarring?
Incisions are placed along the natural eyelid creases and typically heal very well. In most cases, scarring is minimal and becomes barely noticeable over time.
