Blepharoplasty (Eye Lift)
A procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the eyes for a more refreshed, youthful appearance.
What is Blepharoplasty (Eye Lift)?
Blepharoplasty reshapes the eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both. It is performed to address sagging or puffy eyelids that can make you look tired or older than you feel, and in some cases, to improve vision obstructed by drooping upper eyelid skin. Your surgeon makes carefully placed incisions along the natural creases of the eyelid to minimize visible scarring, then removes or repositions the excess tissue before closing the incision. The procedure can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, and typically takes one to two hours depending on whether one or both eyelids are treated.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Excess or sagging skin on the upper eyelids
- Puffy or baggy appearance under the eyes
- Upper eyelid skin that obstructs peripheral vision
- A tired or aged appearance around the eyes
- A desire for a more refreshed, alert look
How does this procedure help?
Blepharoplasty creates a noticeably more refreshed and youthful appearance around the eyes, and when drooping skin was affecting vision, can meaningfully improve your field of view. Most swelling and bruising resolve within one to two weeks, with the final, refined result visible within a few months. Results are long-lasting, and many patients do not require the procedure to be repeated for many years.
