Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

What is eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty), and why it is been done?

Blepharoplasty is an operation that improves the shape and/or functioning of upper and/or lower eyelids. The surgery generally takes care of complaints related to upper and lower eyelids; droopy eyelids, puffiness under the eyes, sagging skin, and the list goes on. Most of these problems are inherited, or due to aging, or caused by certain medical conditions.

The Blepharoplasty at Tender Palm Eye Hospital is done for both functional and cosmetic reasons. Functional procedures are executed to improve vision by elevating drooping eyelids preventing sight, while the cosmetic surgery is done so as to revive the appearance of the eye region for a younger look.

Sagging upper eyelids which obstruct vision.
Puffiness or bags under the eyes.
Excess skin or wrinkles around the eyes.
A tired or aged appearance owing to eyelid changes.

Our expert ophthalmologists will evaluate your specific complaints and medical history to determine if eyelid surgery is suited to you.

How Eyelid Surgery is performed?

Blepharoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia with sedatives or general anesthesia, depending upon the operational complexity. The surgery includes:-

Incision – Small and precise incisions are made around the natural creases of the eyelids such that scarring is minimally visible.
Tissue Adjustment – Excess skin, fat, or muscle is removed or repositioned to achieve the desired result.
Closure – Sutures or skin adhesives are carefully used to close up the incisions to allow seamless appearance.
