What is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic or functional procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids. It helps:
- Lift sagging eyelids for a brighter, more youthful appearance.
- Reduce under-eye bags and puffiness.
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
This procedure is customized to your needs, whether you need upper, lower, or quad blepharoplasty.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
What Happens During Surgery?
- Upper Blepharoplasty:
- A small incision is made along the natural eyelid crease.
- Excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed or repositioned.
- The incision is closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
- Lower Blepharoplasty:
- A discreet incision is made inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival) or just below the lashes.
- Fat is repositioned or removed to smooth puffiness.
- Skin may be tightened if necessary.
- Quad Blepharoplasty:
- Combines both upper and lower eyelid surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation.
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, and patients return home the same day.
What Can I Expect from the Results of Eyelid Surgery?
Patients notice brighter, more youthful eyes once swelling subsides. Key benefits include:
- A more alert, refreshed appearance
- Smoother, firmer eyelid skin
- Reduced puffiness and under-eye bags
- Improved vision, if sagging skin blocked your eyesight
Results are long-lasting, and scars are hidden within the natural eyelid folds.
What is the Recovery Time?
Most patients recover quickly and comfortably.
- First few days: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort peak but improve with cold compresses.
- 5-7 days: Sutures are removed, and bruising fades. Most patients can return to work.
- 4 weeks: Patients can resume exercise and start to lift 10+ pounds.
Following post-op care instructions ensures a smooth recovery and optimal results.
