BLEPHAROPLASTY

Eyes that reflect your vitality

What Is a Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly called eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It’s one of the most effective ways to reduce the visible signs of aging around the eyes — eliminating puffiness, drooping skin, and under-eye bags that make you look tired even when you’re well-rested.

The result is refreshed, more youthful eyes that brighten your entire face. Blepharoplasty can be purely cosmetic or functional (to improve vision if drooping lids obstruct your view). Every procedure is customized to your eye anatomy and desired outcome.

An informed decision is a confident one

What Should You Know Before Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery creates beautiful, refreshed results when patients understand what to expect. Here’s what you should know:

01

You may have temporary swelling and bruising

Significant bruising and swelling around the eyes is normal after surgery. This takes 1-2 weeks to fade substantially, though mild residual swelling can persist for 2-3 weeks.

02

Scars are well-hidden

Upper eyelid incisions follow natural eyelid creases, making them nearly invisible. Lower eyelid scars fade into the lash line or are placed inside the lid. Scars are well-concealed with standard makeup.

03

You’ll have temporary vision changes

Mild dryness, grittiness, or fluctuating vision is common for a few days post-op. This resolves quickly. Artificial tears help.

04

Results look natural

Good blepharoplasty shouldn’t look like surgery—your eyes should simply look more awake and rested. The best results are ones people can’t quite put their finger on.

05

You can combine with other facial procedures

Blepharoplasty pairs well with Facelift, Facial Fat Grafting, or other facial rejuvenation for comprehensive facial transformation.

06

Results last many years

Aging continues, but most patients enjoy their results for 7-10+ years. Upper lids age more slowly than lower lids.

Brighter eyes, refreshed you

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your eye area, discuss your concerns, and recommend a personalized approach based on your anatomy and desired results.

 

A more refreshed appearance

Blepharoplasty can address excess eyelid skin, puffiness caused by fat deposits, and certain under-eye concerns that may contribute to a tired or heavy appearance. Depending on your needs, surgery may involve removing or repositioning excess tissue to create a smoother, more refreshed look while preserving your natural features. Upper eyelid surgery may also help improve vision when excess skin obstructs the visual field. Results vary depending on your anatomy, skin quality, and the procedure performed. Your surgeon will discuss the potential benefits, risks, recovery process, and whether eyelid surgery is appropriate for you.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty at Amaira is performed as an outpatient procedure. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is used. Most procedures take 1.5-2 hours.

Pre-op marking

Your surgeon marks incision lines and problem areas based on your eye anatomy and goals.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia with sedation (you’re mostly asleep but responsive) or general anesthesia is administered.

Skin & Fat removal

Excess skin and/or fat is carefully removed. Your surgeon checks symmetry as they work.

Incisions are closed with fine sutures or surgical tape. Upper lid sutures are typically removed in 5-7 days.

Brief monitoring before discharge. You’ll go home the same day.

RECOVERY

Blepharoplasty Recovery Timeline

Eye surgery recovery is relatively quick, though swelling and bruising take time to fade completely.

Immediately After Surgery

Rest with your head elevated and follow your surgeon's personalized post-operative instructions.

First Few Days

Swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, and temporary tightness around the eyes are common as healing begins.

First Week

Swelling and bruising gradually improve. Attend follow-up appointments and have sutures removed if required by your surgeon.

Returning to Daily Activities

Many patients gradually resume light daily activities within about 1–2 weeks, depending on healing and their surgeon's guidance.

Following Weeks

Residual swelling continues to settle, and the eyelid contours and incision lines gradually become less noticeable.

Recovery timelines and post-operative protocols vary by patient and procedure. Follow your surgeon's instructions, and seek urgent medical attention for sudden vision changes, severe eye pain, or significant bleeding.
