Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids by addressing sagging skin, puffiness, and excess fat.
Individuals bothered by droopy or baggy eyelids due to aging, genetics, or other factors are ideal candidates. Good health and realistic expectations are essential.
There are two main types – Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty targets upper eyelids, while Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty focuses on under-eye bags and loose skin.
Typically an outpatient procedure, blepharoplasty duration varies, but it usually takes a couple of hours.
Recovery times vary, but most people can return to light activities within a week, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides.
Local anesthesia is commonly used, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure. Pain during recovery is manageable with prescribed medications.
