Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic or functional procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It is performed to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance or to improve vision obstructed by drooping eyelids. Over time, the skin around the eyes can sag or form bags due to aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors. Eyelid surgery can correct these concerns by tightening the skin and reducing puffiness or under-eye bags, creating a smoother and more alert look.

The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with sedation and takes about 1–2 hours. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and return to normal activities within 7–10 days. Eyelid surgery offers long-lasting results with natural-looking enhancement. In some cases, it may also be covered by insurance if it’s medically necessary to improve vision. This popular surgery enhances facial aesthetics and can significantly boost self-confidence.
