👁 Eyelid Surgery – Removing Sagging Skin from Upper & Lower Eyelids

Sagging or drooping eyelids are a common concern as we age, affecting both appearance and vision. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a safe and effective procedure to remove excess skin, tighten tissues, and rejuvenate your gaze.

Whether you seek cosmetic improvement or functional correction, this thread explains everything you need to know.



💡 What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that:

✅ Removes loose, sagging skin from upper and/or lower eyelids
✅ Eliminates under-eye bags and puffiness
✅ Reduces the “tired look”
✅ Improves vision by lifting drooping upper lids
✅ Smooths fine lines around the eyes (in combination with other procedures)



🔍 Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery – What's the Difference?

  • Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat that causes hooding or heaviness above the eye.
  • Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and sagging skin. May include fat repositioning for smoother results.

Both can be done separately or combined in one session for full eye rejuvenation.



⏱ Procedure & Recovery Timeline

Surgery Time:
1–2 hours (local or general anesthesia)
Hospital Stay: Usually outpatient
Initial Recovery:
- Swelling and bruising: 5–7 days
- Stitches removed: After 5–6 days
- Back to work: 7–10 days
Final Results: Within 1–2 months

✅ Scars are minimal and hidden in natural creases
✅ Results are long-lasting and natural-looking



👨‍⚕️ Who is a Good Candidate?

You may benefit from eyelid surgery if you:

- Have loose, hanging skin around your eyes
- Experience difficulty seeing due to upper lid drooping
- Feel that your eyes always look tired or aged
- Have realistic expectations and are in good overall health
