Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids. As we age, the skin around the eyes can become saggy or puffed, causing a tired or older appearance. This surgery targets the upper and lower eyelids to reduce puffiness, drooping, or bags under the eyes, creating a more youthful and rested look.
Benefits:
- Reduces excess skin on the upper eyelids.
- Corrects puffiness and under-eye bags.
- Improves vision obstructed by droopy eyelids.
- Gives a more refreshed, youthful appearance.
Recovery:
- The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and can be done in an outpatient setting.
- Recovery time typically takes 1-2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within the first few days.
- Post-surgery, patients may experience some temporary discomfort, but the results are long-lasting, providing a revitalized eye area.
