Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat, usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes that makes you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision.

Drooping eyelids are corrected by incision of a flap of skin just above the eyelids and removal of excess skin and fat. For lower eyelids, the incision to remove fat is hidden under the lower lashes. Blepharoplasty won’t remove crow’s feet and other wrinkles and will not eliminate dark circles under the eyes.

Blepharoplasty can be performed alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift.

Eyelid operations usually take 30 minutes to 2 hours and is performed under local or sedative anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery.

For this procedure the incision is made inside your lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar.

Your eyes will be covered with bandage for a few hours after the operation. Eyelids may feel tight and sore as the anesthesia wears off; however, any discomfort can be controlled with simple pain killers.

You will leave the hospital on the same day of the surgery.

The stitches will be removed in third and seventh days all will be taken in a week time. If you have swollen or blue parts in the area these will be reduced in a week.

Patients are given a list of detailed postoperative instructions, which include requirements for medications, hygiene, exercise and eating.
