Blepharoplasty
Refresh tired-looking eyes by removing excess eyelid skin and fat.
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It can create a more alert, rested appearance and, in some cases, improve upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision.
Candidacy & Benefits
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have drooping or puffy upper eyelids that make you look tired
- You have under-eye bags or loose lower eyelid skin
- Excess upper eyelid skin is affecting your peripheral vision
Key benefits
- A more refreshed, alert appearance
- Reduced puffiness and under-eye bagging
- Possible improvement in obstructed vision
How Blepharoplasty is performed
Assessment of the upper and lower eyelids, and in some cases a vision-field test if skin is affecting sight
Fine incisions are placed along the natural eyelid crease or just inside the lower lash line
Excess skin, muscle, and pockets of fat are carefully removed or repositioned
The eyelid tissue is smoothed and re-draped for a natural contour
Incisions are closed with very fine sutures to minimize visible scarring
Preparation & things to know
How to prepare
- Have a full eye exam if you have any pre-existing vision or dry-eye issues
- Avoid blood thinners and certain supplements for the period advised
- Arrange for someone to accompany you home, as vision may be blurry immediately after
- Prepare cold compresses and eye drops in advance for early recovery
Possible side effects & risks
- Swelling and bruising around the eyes, similar to two black eyes, for one to two weeks
- Temporary dry eyes, light sensitivity, or blurred vision
- Fine scars along the natural eyelid crease that fade over time
- Rare risk of asymmetry or difficulty fully closing the eyes, usually temporary
Every surgery carries some risk. Your consultation with Dr. Muhammad Ali will cover how these apply specifically to you.
