Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to improve their appearance or function.

While eyelid surgery can improve vision if sagging skin was obstructing your view, it generally does not affect vision negatively. Temporary blurred vision or dryness may occur during recovery but resolves quickly

Most patients can resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Bruising and swelling typically subside within this time, but full recovery may take a few weeks.

The results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting, although the aging process will continue. Many patients enjoy the benefits of a more youthful appearance for 5 to 10 years or longer.
