Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty makes it possible to make the eyelids look more youthful and improve vision. Eyelid surgery has a significant impact on the overall appearance of the face and can visually rejuvenate a person by several years.
See the world with new eyes
Sagging or drooping eyelids are unfortunately a natural part of ageing. Some people are born with drooping eyelids, while others may experience this as the result of a disease. Blepharoplasty is a procedure that can correct drooping eyelids caused by ageing or other factors, restoring a natural and youthful appearance.
The purpose of this procedure may be to remove excess skin or fat from the upper eyelids to improve vision and refresh the appearance. Eyelid surgery can also help smooth wrinkles and hollows around the eyes.

Additional information on the procedure
Eyelid surgery description
An eyelid surgery is most often done while you are awake. The procedure is done as follows:
- You are given medicine to help you relax.
- The surgeon injects numbing medicine around the eye so you do not feel pain during the surgery.
- The surgeon makes tiny cuts (incisions) into the natural creases or folds of the eyelids.
- Loose skin and extra fat tissue are removed. The eyelid muscles are then tightened.
- At the end of surgery, the incisions are closed with stitches.
After the procedure
You can usually go home the day of surgery. Arrange ahead of time for an adult to drive you home.
Before you leave, the doctor or nurse will cover your eyes and eyelids with ointment and a bandage. Your eyelids may feel tight and sore as the numbing medicine wears off. The discomfort is easily controlled with pain medicine.
Keep your head raised as much as possible for several days. Place cold packs over the area to reduce swelling and bruising. Wrap the cold pack in a towel before applying. This helps prevent cold injury of the eyes and skin.
Your doctor may recommend eyedrops to reduce burning or itching.
You should be able to see well after 2 to 3 days. Do not wear contact lenses for at least 2 weeks. Keep activities to a minimum for 3 to 5 days, and avoid strenuous activities that raise the blood pressure for about 3 weeks. This includes lifting, bending, and rigorous sports.
Stitches need to be removed 5 to 7 days after surgery. You will have some bruising, which may last 2 to 4 weeks. You may notice increased tears, feeling more sensitive to light and wind, and blurring or double vision for the first few weeks.
Outlook
Scars may remain slightly pink for 6 months or more after surgery. They will fade eventually to a thin, nearly invisible white line. The more alert and youthful look usually lasts for years. These results are permanent for many people.
