Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It can be performed for cosmetic purposes, to improve the aesthetic appearance of the eyes, or for functional reasons, to correct vision impairment caused by sagging upper eyelids.
This procedure targets issues such as:
Upper Eyelid Drooping: Excess skin and fat that create a “hooded” appearance.
Lower Eyelid Puffiness: Under-eye bags or puffiness caused by fat deposits.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Around the eyes, often addressed as part of the procedure.
Obstructed Vision: Due to drooping upper eyelid skin.
Blepharoplasty is ideal for individuals who:
Have Sagging Eyelids:
That obscure the natural fold or hinder vision.
Struggle with Under-Eye Bags:
Caused by excess fat or aging.
Want to Appear More Youthful:
By rejuvenating tired-looking eyes.
Are in Good General Health:
Non-smokers with no serious medical conditions.
Have Realistic Expectations:
About the results of the procedure.
Dr. Vikesh Vij offers the following types of blepharoplasty, depending on your individual needs:
The blepharoplasty procedure involves the following steps:
Consultation and Planning
Dr. Vikesh Vij will evaluate your facial structure, eyelid condition, and aesthetic goals. A personalized surgical plan will be developed, outlining the areas to be addressed.
Anesthesia
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, although general anesthesia may be used for more complex cases.
Incision Placement
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).
Tissue Adjustment
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.
Closing the Incisions
Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and scarring is typically minimal due to strategic placement.
Post-Procedure Care
Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing and results.
Recovery after blepharoplasty is relatively quick compared to other surgical procedures. Here’s what to expect:
Downtime: Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days.
Swelling and Bruising: Subside significantly after the first week.
Results: Noticeable improvements in eyelid appearance are visible within a few weeks, with final results apparent after a few months.
Longevity: Results typically last for many years, with proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Vikesh Vij will provide comprehensive follow-up care and guidance throughout your recovery journey.
The cost of blepharoplasty depends on factors such as the type of surgery, complexity of the case, and whether it’s performed for cosmetic or functional purposes.
