BLEPHAROPLASTY

Eyelid rejuvenation surgery (also called blepharoplasty, eyelid lift or eye bag surgery) is a procedure to improve and freshen up the appearance of your eyes. The procedure involves removing excessive sagging skin, fat bulges ( eye bags ) and also tightening the muscles around your eyes.

The eyes are the focus of attention in our faces and many people seek eyelid rejuvenation surgery to freshen up their appearance, to look less tired and less angry. In some cases, excessive skin in your upper eyelid can cause hooding and impair your vision, making it a medical indication for surgery.

Most people who seek blepharoplasty would like to rejuvenate their eyes by removing excessive skin and addressing fat bulges that may result in ‘eye bags’. This can be a problem that has developed as you aged or there could also be lifestyle or genetic reasons for having this problem in your 20s or 30s. You may feel or receive comments that you are constantly looking tired or angry and this may be affecting your self-confidence.

There are 2 main types of eyelid surgery, however this can be customized based on your individual concerns:

● Upper blepharoplasty – this involves removing excessive, hooded skin in the upper eyelid. At the same time, any fat bulges can also be corrected. The scar is carefully hidden within your upper eyelid crease.
● Lower blepharoplasty – this involves removing excessive fat that bulges causing ‘eye bags’. This can be combined with skin tightening using a subciliary incision just beneath the lash line or using a hidden transconjunctival incision.
