Blepharoplasty – Eyelid Surgery

Eyelids stretch with age, mainly because of the weakness of muscles that support your eyelids, leading to excess fat gathering in the areas above and below your eyelids. This fat accumulation contributes to droopy eyelids, visible bags under the eyes, and sagging eyebrows. Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is a procedure to treat all these issues by removing the excess fat, skin, or loose muscle tissues.

With eyelid surgery, not only can you rejuvenate the appearance of your eyelids and eyebrows, but you can also overcome functional issues with your eyelids.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Blepharoplasty?

Individuals who can benefit from eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty are:

• The ones who have droopy lower eyelids resulting in a significant area of the eye white to appear
• Those concerned about their saggy upper eyelids caused by a buildup of fatty tissues under the skin
• Those facing problems with their peripheral vision due to drooping skin at the side of their eyes

Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Blepharoplasty is classified into upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty) and lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty). The surgeon usually performs upper blepharoplasty first if the eyelid droops above and below the eye. They make an incision along the eyelid fold, remove the fat, skin, or muscle tissue, and close the cut.

After treating the upper lid, the surgeon moves to the lower eyelid (lower blepharoplasty). It begins with a small incision just below the lashes. This incision is made inside the lower eyelid or on the eye’s natural crease. Then the surgeon redistributes or removes excess muscle tissues, fat, and sagging skin and closes the cut using sutures.

Your surgeon may perform a procedure called ptosis along with blepharoplasty if your upper eyelid sags down close to your pupil. This combo treatment gives extra support to your eyebrow muscles, pulling up the sagging part of the upper lid.

Eyelid Surgery Benefits

Blepharoplasty involves a minor operation, followed by a quicker recovery. This treatment offers numerous aesthetic and functional benefits, some of which are as under:

• A noticeable reduction in the under-eye bagginess
• Reduced appearance of under-eye dark circles
• Improved vision due to a widened line of sight
• Refreshed eye appearance
• Reduced discomfort in the forehead due to firmer eyelid muscles
• Fewer fine lines on lower eyelids and outer corners

Does blepharoplasty make you look younger?

Eyelid surgery offers a youthful eye appearance by removing stretched-out skin, excess fat, and loose muscles above and below your eyes. Most people who had this treatment expressed their satisfaction with its results. Moreover, eyelid surgery results tend to last several years.

How Long Is The Recovery After Eyelid Surgery?

Since blepharoplasty involves small surgical incisions, there will be some swelling and bruising in the treated region for about one to three weeks. You will continue to experience improvement in your eye appearance over one to three months. You may be able to resume your work and other activities in two weeks.

How Much Does Eyelid Surgery Cost?

The average starting price of eyelid surgery – blepharoplasty is AED 8000. The final cost depends on various factors, which you can discuss during the initial consultation at EuroMed Clinic Dubai.
