Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, although general anesthesia may be used for more complex cases.
For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is placed along the natural crease. For lower eyelid surgery, the incision is usually hidden along the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach).
Excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed or repositioned to achieve the desired contour. Fat repositioning in the lower eyelid may smooth under-eye hollows for a youthful appearance.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and scarring is typically minimal due to strategic placement.
Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing and results.

Anaesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Temporary tightness, soreness or mild discomfort afterwards is usually managed with prescribed medication and care instructions.
Operating time depends on whether the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both are treated and on the complexity of the case. A personalised estimate is provided during consultation.
Possible risks include bleeding, infection, dry eyes, asymmetry, delayed healing and anaesthesia-related complications. Your individual risks are discussed before surgery.
Incisions are placed in natural creases, near the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid. Scars usually fade as healing progresses, although individual healing varies.
It may sometimes be combined with a brow lift, facelift or selected non-surgical treatments when appropriate for the patient’s health, anatomy and goals.
Results commonly last for many years. Natural ageing continues, while sun protection, healthy habits and suitable skincare can help maintain the improvement.
Cosmetic surgery is generally not covered. Functional cases with documented visual obstruction may depend on the insurer, policy terms and medical assessment.
