What is a Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes extra skin and fat from your eyelids while also tightening the skin and soft tissues around your eyes. It's a good idea to consult with a surgeon in advance. There might be a medical problem affecting your eyelids that makes the operation undesirable for you.

The procedure Of Blepharoplasty
- Blepharoplasty surgery can be performed on your upper or lower eyelids, depending on your goals and your surgeon's opinion.
-
Upper blepharoplasty
During an upper blepharoplasty, your surgeon will make cuts(incisions) in the natural fold of your upper eyelid. When you open your eyes, these incisions will be invisible. Your surgeon will remove extra skin and fat, then seal(close) the incisions.
-
Lower blepharoplasty.
Your surgeon will create an incision slightly below your lower eyelash line in order to perform a lower blepharoplasty. With this incision, they will remove extra skin from your lower eyelid. They may also make a hidden incision inside your lower eyelid (transconjunctival incision) to deal with lower eyelid issues and redistribute or remove extra fat.
Why it's done
Blepharoplasty could help if you have:
- Saggy or droopy upper eyelids
- Too much skin on your upper eyelids that makes it hard to see sideways.
- Extra skin on your lower eyelids.
- puffiness under your eyes.
