Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) is a surgery to improve the appearance of eyelids, and may also involve removing excess skin, fat and muscle for aesthetically modifying the eye region.

This surgery is aimed at reducing droopy upper lids, under eye bags, wrinkles and saggy eyebrows. During the surgery, your surgeon may also remove excess skin and muscle. These features are usually a natural part of aging, where your eyelids and the muscles that support them stretch and weaken with age. The overall result of the procedure intends to make your eyes appear “younger” and give you an overall more alert and “well rested” appearance. It may also help with your vision in instances where severely saggy skin surrounding your eyes reduces your peripheral vision.

When to seek expert advise

If you feel like you may benefit from a blepharoplasty procedure, you can schedule a consult with an eye surgeon working with the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at The Aga Khan University Hospital.
