7 Things To Know About Blepharoplasty

As an individual grows older, the skin around the eyelids may begin to sag, thereby giving a tired or rundown appearance to the eyes. Drooping eyelids are an effect of the natural skin aging process. Blepharoplasty Surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Parag Telang can help restore the youthful appearance of the eyes with Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. This surgery is among the most popular aesthetic procedures that are on the upswing mainly due to its overall effectiveness, reasonable cost, and fast recovery time. 

If a person is considering a Blepharoplasty surgery, then they need to know about what the procedure entails. Although the surgeon will cover maximum points of the blepharoplasty surgery during an initial consultation, the patient can still have a look at 7 important parameters related to blepharoplasty:   

  1. Blepharoplasty surgery is not just for sagging eyelids: It is a type of anti-aging facelift surgery that is performed on the eyelids and is primarily sought by people looking for anti-aging treatments. Although, sagging around the eyelids is the major concern addressed by this surgery, but it can also correct issues like folds around the eyelid, wrinkles and excess skin around eyes, undereye bags, or puffiness of upper eyelids. This surgery is often performed along with other cosmetic procedures like fillers, brow lifts, forehead lifts, and laser resurfacing. It can enhance the facial aesthetics by giving eyes a rested, and rejuvenated look, thereby boosting the confidence of the individual. 


  1. It is a quick procedure: Blepharoplasty surgery can last from an hour to up to 2 hours (if both upper and lower eyelids are operated on). The procedure poses minimal risks and it is considered as an outpatient surgery that permits the patient to return home after the surgery for recovery.


  1. It is associated with short recovery: As compared to other types of facial surgeries or cosmetic procedures, blepharoplasty has a relatively shorter recovery. Typically, the patients can return to their daily routine after 7-10 days. But strenuous exercises are only allowed after 3 weeks. The results are expected to last for a long but they may vary on a patient-to-patient basis. The outcome can only be seen after about 4-6 weeks. Upper eyelid surgery is good for at least five to seven years whereas lower eyelid surgery needs to be repeated.
  2. It is not suitable for everyone: The ideal candidates for blepharoplasty surgery are the individuals (usually 30 years old or above) who are in good overall health (i.e. have healthy facial muscles and tissues) and have no other eye conditions such as dry eye, detached retina, and glaucoma. Smokers or those who have any health issues like diabetes, Grave’s disease, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, thyroid problems, and other circulatory disorders that can affect healing are not recommended for this surgery.  
  3. It is affordable and effective surgery: Among different cosmetic surgeries, blepharoplasty surgery is comparatively of low cost. The procedure is highly effective in the revitalization of the skin; hence most people opt for only this procedure rather than an entire facelift.

  1. Eyelid surgery has risks: Generally, the surgery is safe as it is performed only by a plastic or cosmetic surgeon who is skilled in eyelid surgery. Post-operation, the expected major side effects include irritation, bruising, swelling, and dry eyes that resolve with medication or ointments. General risks include unfavorable anesthesia reactions, excessive bleeding, blood clotting, and infection. It is uncommon to have visible scarring, skin discoloration, difficulty in closing the eyes, irritated or dry eyes, temporary blurred vision, and eye muscles injury. 


  1. It involves little preparation: Before blepharoplasty surgery, the patient may be asked to stop smoking, make some adjustments or stop the intake of certain medications, and avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that can lead to bleeding and bruising. The surgeon will perform a medical evaluation of the patient, run some lab tests including tear tests and vision tests as well as measure eyes.
