What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to refresh and restore the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing sagging skin and excess fat that can make the eyes appear hooded, heavy, or tired. In many cases, this drooping skin can even interfere with peripheral vision by hanging over the lash line, making daily tasks like reading or driving more difficult. An upper eyelid lift refines the natural crease, brightens the eye area, and helps you look more alert and youthful.

Lower eyelid surgery addresses sagging skin, puffiness, and fat pockets beneath the eyes. As the lower eyelids loosen with age, they can create shadows and prominent “bags” that contribute to a fatigued or aged appearance. By tightening the skin and repositioning or removing excess fat, lower eyelid surgery smooths the under-eye area for a refreshed, more rested look.

The upper eyelid is prone to sagging skin, which can cause a droopy appearance of the eye. The extra skin can hang over the edge of the eyelid, making your eyes look smaller and tired, and obscuring your vision. An upper eyelid lift rejuvenates your eyes and removes excess skin that can interfere with your vision.

The skin under the eye on the lower eyelid is also susceptible to sagging. As the skin droops, it can create or emphasize bags under the eyes, making you look older or more fatigued.

Preparing for Your Eyelid Surgery

Once your blepharoplasty is scheduled, you may be asked to undergo a vision exam, stop smoking, and avoid certain medications or supplements that can increase bleeding. You should arrange for a ride home after your procedure and plan a few days of rest before returning to work and other activities. Depending on your specific needs, overall health, and medical history, your surgeon may also recommend adjustments to your skincare routine and other habits, such as avoiding alcohol and staying hydrated in the days leading up to your eyelid surgery, to promote optimal healing. Creating a comfortable recovery area at home—with pillows to keep your head elevated, cold compresses to manage discomfort, and easy access to prescribed medications—can help ensure a smoother postoperative experience.

What to Expect During Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure, typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and your preference. Once anesthesia is administered, your surgeon will carefully mark the incision lines within the natural creases of your eyelids.

During upper eyelid surgery, excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying muscles may be tightened to improve definition. For lower eyelid surgery, your surgeon may tighten loose skin and remove or reposition fat to smooth puffy under-eye areas. After the incisions are carefully and meticulously closed with small sutures, you will be monitored briefly before returning home. Your surgeon will give you detailed aftercare instructions to promote comfort and optimal healing.

Eyelid surgery typically takes one to two hours, depending on whether one or both eyelids are being treated, and may take longer if you choose to combine it with other cosmetic procedures.
