Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and repositioning or removing fat. It targets The Distressed Look, characterized by puffiness, sagging, and drooping around the eyes that can make a person look tired, aged, or even obstruct their vision. The goal of the procedure is to restore a more youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance without altering the natural eye shape.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is commonly performed to correct drooping eyelids that create a ‘hooded’ look or interfere with vision. It involves removing excess skin, and in some cases, a small amount of muscle or fat. The incision is placed within the natural eyelid crease, making scars virtually invisible once healed. Patients often report looking more awake and rested after the procedure.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty addresses puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose skin beneath the eyes. This can be performed either through a transconjunctival approach (from the inside of the eyelid) or externally just below the lash line. The procedure may involve fat repositioning, removal of excess skin, or muscle tightening. It helps smooth the under-eye area and enhances the youthful contour between the lower eyelid and cheek.
