Eyelid surgery

What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. The goal is to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle that may be causing puffiness or sagging. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs. Eyelid surgery can improve the aesthetic appearance by giving the eyes a more open, alert, and youthful look. For those with vision impairment due to excess skin, eyelid surgery can also provide functional benefits.

Why Choose Eyelid Surgery?

People choose eyelid surgery for various reasons. As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes tends to lose its elasticity, leading to sagging, drooping eyelids, and under-eye bags. This can result in a tired or older appearance, even if you feel healthy and energetic. Eyelid surgery helps remove excess skin and fat, tightening the eyelids for a fresher and more vibrant look. Additionally, for those struggling with vision impairment due to excess skin on the upper eyelids, this surgery can provide a functional benefit by restoring the field of vision.

The Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s preferences. During the surgery, the surgeon will make precise incisions along the natural folds of the eyelid to remove excess skin and fat. For the lower eyelids, the incision is often made just below the lower lash line, leaving minimal visible scarring. If necessary, the surgeon may reposition fat deposits to address under-eye bags. The surgery typically takes one to two hours, depending on the extent of the procedure.

Recovery and Aftercare

After eyelid surgery, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically subside within a few days to a week. Most patients can resume normal activities within 7-10 days, although strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Ice packs and prescribed medications may help reduce swelling and discomfort during the initial recovery period. Our team at Royal Villanova provides thorough aftercare instructions and follows up to ensure your healing process goes smoothly and that you are happy with the results.

The Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

The benefits of eyelid surgery extend beyond cosmetic improvements. A refreshed, youthful appearance is one of the most obvious outcomes, but the procedure can also improve functional vision by eliminating excess skin from the upper eyelids. The rejuvenated appearance can give patients a more alert and vibrant look, increasing self-confidence and enhancing overall facial harmony. For those who struggle with eye fatigue or discomfort due to sagging eyelids, eyelid surgery can provide significant relief.
