The eyes are the most expressive feature of the face, yet over time, the skin around them can sag, develop excess fat, or form wrinkles, making the face look tired and aged.
Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids, restoring youthful, bright, and refined eyes. At Sheraton Clinic, we provide a meticulous and safe approach, ensuring optimal results for every patient.
1. In-Depth Consultation and Assessment
Before surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation of their eyelids, including skin thickness, fat deposits, muscle condition, and aesthetic goals. Our doctors discuss the most suitable surgical techniques, expected recovery time, and medical considerations such as eye conditions, allergies, diabetes, or circulatory issues.
Photographs from multiple angles, eye exams, and visual field testing are performed to plan the surgery precisely. This careful assessment ensures results that are both aesthetically pleasing and safe.
2. Pre-Surgery Preparation
Patients are guided to stop certain medications or supplements that could increase bleeding and advised to quit smoking several weeks before surgery to enhance healing. Transportation arrangements and post-operative care plans are also discussed. Depending on the procedure’s complexity, anesthesia may involve local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the operation.
3. Surgical Procedure
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
For the upper eyelids, incisions are made along the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle are removed to correct drooping eyelids. This procedure typically uses local anesthesia with sedation, providing a precise and comfortable experience.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery involves incisions just below the lash line or inside the lower lid to hide scars effectively. Excess fat is removed or repositioned, and skin and muscle may be adjusted to prevent sagging. This procedure often requires general anesthesia or sedation.
The surgery generally takes 1–2 hours if both upper and lower eyelids are treated. The primary goals are to enhance vision if drooping impairs sight and to create a refreshed, youthful appearance by eliminating puffiness and excess skin. Blepharoplasty can also be combined with procedures such as brow lifts or facelifts for comprehensive rejuvenation.
4. Post-Surgery Care
After surgery, patients are monitored in the recovery room before returning home. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, puffy or numb eyelids, blurred vision from lubricating ointments, and light sensitivity.
To support recovery, patients are advised to follow all medical instructions, use cold compresses, keep the head elevated while resting, apply prescribed eye drops or ointments, and wear sunglasses to protect delicate eyelid skin from sun and wind. Avoiding strenuous activities, not rubbing the eyes, refraining from wearing contact lenses, and quitting smoking for at least two weeks are critical for optimal healing.
5. Recovery Timeline and Results
Swelling and bruising generally improve within 10–14 days, while incision scars gradually fade over several months. The final results reveal younger, brighter, and naturally refreshed eyes. Patients often report increased confidence and satisfaction with their overall appearance.
