Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat. At Cosmodoc, our team of skilled surgeons offers both upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures to address sagging eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags.
Upper Blepharoplasty: This procedure focuses on correcting droopy or sagging upper eyelids, improving vision and restoring a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Lower Blepharoplasty: Targeting the under-eye area, lower blepharoplasty removes excess fat and reduces puffiness to create a smoother, more rejuvenated eye contour.
Our surgeons customize each blepharoplasty procedure to meet the unique needs and aesthetic goals of our patients, ensuring natural-looking results and enhanced facial harmony.
Blepharoplasty Techniques at Cosmodoc:
At Cosmodoc, we utilize advanced blepharoplasty techniques to ensure optimal results:
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: This technique involves making incisions inside the lower eyelid, allowing for fat removal without visible external scars.
Transcutaneous Blepharoplasty: For upper eyelid rejuvenation, this approach uses incisions along the natural eyelid crease to remove excess skin and fat.
Our experienced surgeons will recommend the most suitable blepharoplasty technique based on your anatomy and desired outcomes, ensuring a safe and effective procedure.
How is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Blepharoplasty is typically performed using the following steps:
1. **Anesthesia:** Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
2. **Incision:** Depending on the type of blepharoplasty (upper or lower), incisions are made along the natural eyelid crease or inside the lower eyelid.
3. **Fat and Tissue Removal:** Excess fat, muscle, and skin are carefully removed to achieve the desired contour.
4. **Closure:** The incisions are closed with sutures, and any external scars are discreetly hidden within the natural eyelid structures.
Our surgeons prioritize safety and precision to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your appearance while maintaining the functionality of the eyelids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about blepharoplasty:
Blepharoplasty can rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes, reducing sagging skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags, leading to a more youthful and refreshed look.
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are individuals with droopy or sagging eyelids, excess skin, or puffiness around the eyes. A consultation with a qualified surgeon will help determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
While blepharoplasty can provide long-lasting results, the natural aging process will continue. However, many patients enjoy the benefits of the procedure for many years.
Recovery from blepharoplasty typically involves mild swelling and bruising, which should subside within 1-2 weeks. Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, with proper care and following post-operative instructions.
Like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in eyelid sensation. However, these risks are rare when the procedure is performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon.
