The eyes are often the first feature to show signs of ageing. Loose skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags can make you appear tired or older than you feel. Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids to create a fresher, more youthful look.

What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It involves removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and, in some cases, tightening the underlying muscles to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Besides cosmetic enhancement, the procedure can also improve vision when sagging upper eyelid skin interferes with the field of view. 

Who Can Benefit from Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is suitable for individuals who wish to rejuvenate the appearance of their eyes or address functional concerns caused by excess eyelid skin. During your consultation, Dr Manoj Khanna will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and treatment goals to determine the most appropriate approach.

Common Signs You May Benefit from Blepharoplasty

Ageing, genetics, and lifestyle factors can all contribute to changes around the eyes. If you notice any of the following concerns, blepharoplasty may be an effective treatment option.

Age-Related Changes

• Loose or sagging upper eyelid skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Heavy or drooping eyelids

Fat Deposits

• Puffy upper eyelids
• Prominent under-eye bags
• Bulging lower eyelids

Functional Concerns

• Reduced peripheral vision due to excess upper eyelid skin
• Difficulty keeping the eyes fully open
• Excess skin interfering with makeup application or daily activities

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Every eyelid surgery is carefully planned to achieve natural-looking results while preserving the unique character of your eyes. Take a look at the process below.

Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your eyelids, facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.

Customised Treatment Planning

A customised surgical plan is created to determine whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination of both is required.

Anaesthesia

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of surgery and individual requirements.

Surgery

Carefully placed incisions are made within the natural eyelid creases or inside the lower eyelid whenever appropriate. Excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed or repositioned to achieve a smoother, rejuvenated appearance.

Closure

The incisions are meticulously closed using fine sutures to promote optimal healing and minimise visible scarring.

Recovery

Following surgery, mild swelling and bruising gradually subside over the next one to two weeks, revealing a brighter and more youthful appearance.

What are The Benefits of Eyelid Surgery?

Here is a list of some of the benefits of blepharoplasty:

More Youthful Appearance - Reduces visible signs of ageing around the eyes for a refreshed look.

Brighter, More Alert Eyes - Helps eliminate the tired or fatigued appearance caused by drooping eyelids or under-eye bags.

Improved Facial Harmony - Enhances the balance and proportion of your facial features while maintaining a natural appearance.

Reduction of Under-Eye Bags - Removes or repositions excess fat to create smoother lower eyelids.

Improved Vision - In suitable candidates, removing excess upper eyelid skin can improve the field of vision.

Minimal Visible Scarring - Incisions are strategically placed within natural eyelid creases or hidden inside the lower eyelid whenever possible.

Long-Lasting Results - The improvements achieved through blepharoplasty typically last for many years, although the natural ageing process continues.

Increased Confidence - A rejuvenated eye area often contributes to greater self-confidence and a more positive self-image.

Recovery and Results

Recovery following blepharoplasty is generally straightforward. Mild swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness around the eyes are expected during the first few days and gradually improve with proper care. Most patients can resume light daily activities within one to two weeks.

Recovery Timeline

First 2–3 Days

• Mild swelling and bruising
• Cold compresses help reduce discomfort

Within 1 Week

• Sutures are removed if required
• Most bruising begins to fade

2 Weeks

• Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities

4–6 Weeks

• Swelling continues to resolve and the eyelids appear more natural

2–3 Months

• Final results become increasingly visible as healing is completed

The result is a brighter, more youthful eye area with natural-looking contours and improved facial harmony.

FAQs

1. Is blepharoplasty a painful procedure?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort, which is well controlled with prescribed medications.

Incisions are carefully placed within the natural eyelid creases or inside the lower eyelid whenever possible, making scars discreet once healed.

3. How long do the results last?

The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting. While the natural ageing process continues, many patients enjoy improvements for many years.

4. Can upper and lower eyelids be treated together?

Yes. Depending on your needs, upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both can be performed during the same procedure.

5. When can I return to work?
