With aging, the upper eyelids can develop sagging skin, extra fatty tissue, and weaker muscles. This may cause the eyelids to feel heavy and droop, sometimes to the extent of affecting vision. Upper blepharoplasty addresses this by removing surplus skin and tissue from the upper eyelid, opening up the eye and creating a rejuvenated look. If the eyelid margin itself is sagging, the procedure can also reinforce the surrounding ligaments.
Upper blepharoplasty is suitable for individuals with loose skin, weakened muscle, or excess fat around their upper eyelids. This type of eyelid surgery is effective for removing excess skin or fat that disrupts the natural eyelid contour, which can lead to both aesthetic and functional issues, like impaired vision. In cases where the eyelid margin droops—a condition known as ptosis—this can also be corrected as part of the procedure.
The procedure involves making a small incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, through which excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat are removed. Muscles may be adjusted before lifting and reattaching the skin. The incision is concealed within the eyelid’s crease, so any scarring is minimally visible once healing is complete. The surgery typically takes 45-60 minutes and can often be performed with local anesthesia.
Costs for upper blepharoplasty generally range from $3,000 to $5,000, though this can vary. If drooping eyelids are affecting vision, some insurance plans may partially or fully cover the procedure.
As we age, the lower eyelids can sag and form pockets that create shadows, giving the appearance of dark circles. Fat or fluid may accumulate, causing puffiness. Lower blepharoplasty, or “eye bag surgery,” can address sagging skin, wrinkles, and puffiness in the under-eye area.
Lower blepharoplasty is ideal for those with loose skin, extra fat, or sagging under the eyes. This surgery can address eye bags, puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles, and excessive drooping that may reveal more of the whites of the eyes.
In the external approach, an incision is made just below the lashes. Excess fat and skin are removed, and hollow areas can be filled by repositioning fat or lifting the cheek area. The lower eyelid can also be tightened if needed for added support.
In the transconjunctival approach, an incision is made inside the eyelid, allowing direct fat removal or repositioning. This approach is generally preferred for younger patients or those with strong eyelid support structures.
Lower blepharoplasty is somewhat more complex than upper blepharoplasty, typically taking 60-90 minutes.
The cost of lower blepharoplasty varies, typically between $3,000 and $6,000. As it usually addresses cosmetic concerns rather than vision impairment, insurance generally does not cover it.
Quad Blepharoplasty:
Combining Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Aging affects everyone’s eye area differently. While some achieve the desired look with upper or lower blepharoplasty alone, others may benefit from quad blepharoplasty, which combines both procedures. This approach provides a comprehensive rejuvenation of both the upper and lower eyelids.EYELID SURGERY | BLEPHAROPLASTY OUR SPECIALITY

Candidates for Eyelid Surgery
YOUR CUSTOM EYE SURGERY: A YOUNGER-LOOKING YOU. Blepharoplasty, commonly called eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that adjusts the shape of the eyelids and restores a bright, youthful eye appearance. You may be considering eyelid surgery to address saggy, droopy eyelids, or heavy bags beneath your eyes. The procedure involves removing excess saggy skin with an incision made in the eyelid fold. For results that appear natural and refreshed, not wide-eyed, this surgery requires a highly skilled surgeon.
Why do people get Eyelid Surgery?
- Remove excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower lids.
- Tighten the eyelid skin and muscles.
- Improve to the appearance of undereye puffiness.
- Smooth wrinkles around the eyelids.
- Redistribute displaced fat.
What are the different types of Eyelid Surgery?
1. Upper Eyelid Surgery aims to enhance the appearance of the eyes by removing excess or sagging skin that leads to folds and puffiness in the upper lids, as well as any excess fatty tissue.
2. Lower Eyelid Surgery focuses on eliminating fat pads in the lower eyelids that create under-eye “bags” and tightening any loose, excess skin.
Is Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?
The eyelid skin is very delicate and fine. As the years pass, the skin structure weakens, allowing the skin to stretch and sag. This condition is impossible to hide, and even when using the most expensive eye creams to keep the skin supple, your eyelid skin will eventually begin to sag. Many people take advantage of the ability to restore a more youthful look with eyelid surgery, which has the following benefits:
- Restores a youthful shape to the eye
- Removes excess sagging skin
- Can remove undereye bags
- Gives you a more open, approachable, youthful look
- Easy recovery
What Can I Expect During the Recovery Period After Eyelid Surgery?
Patients who undergo Eyelid Surgery can typically return to their normal routines within 7 to 10 days. The recovery process is generally more manageable compared to other cosmetic procedures like facelifts or rhinoplasty, which often require longer downtime. Discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Our Doctor will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including guidelines on activity restrictions, incision care, and the expected healing timeline. To help reduce swelling and speed up recovery, it’s often recommended to sleep with the head slightly elevated and to wear bandages for the duration prescribed
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery - FAQ
Following are some common questions asked by patients considering Blepharoplasty PROCDERE
What to expect at a surgery consultation?
Patients can expect to provide a detailed health history to their surgeon during the consultation. “I ask about their current complaints and also like to discuss their other medical problems, prior surgery, and family history,” clarifies our doctors.
How long is the Eyelid Surgery procedure?
Eyelid Surgery will take between one and two hours to complete. The length of time will depend on the extent of correction required.
When can I return to work after my Eyelid Surgery?
Patients generally feel well enough to return to work or school between seven and ten days after surgery. By this time, the majority of bruising and swelling will have diminished.
Is Eyelid Surgery painful?
While the surgery is generally painless, you might experience some swelling and bruising afterward. Most people feel comfortable going out in public within 10 to 14 days, though full recovery can take a few months. During your blepharoplasty recovery, using cold compresses and antibiotic ointment can help reduce swelling.
Will scarring be noticeable?
Due to the sensitive nature of the skin on your eyelids, it typically heals more quickly and efficiently compared to other parts of the body. Once the incisions from upper blepharoplasty have fully healed, any scars will generally be subtle and only noticeable to those who are specifically looking for them, and even then, primarily when your eyes are closed
How long will results last?
The duration of results can differ among patients, but typically, the effects of upper eyelid surgery last around 5 to 7 years, while the results of lower eyelid surgery are generally permanent. For upper eyelids, it’s common for the skin to start sagging again after several years.
Am i a good candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You might be a good candidate for eyelid lift surgery if you have sagging or drooping eyelid skin that could also affect your vision, or if you experience puffiness, bags, or dark circles under your eyes. Additionally, if your eyes show signs of aging (note: drooping can be genetic and may happen in younger individuals), you may benefit from this procedure.
How long does it take to recover from eyelid surgery?

- Swelling and Bruising: Your eyelids may be swollen and bruised for 1 to 3 weeks.
- Scars: Scars from the surgical incisions can take months to fade.
- Redness: Any visible redness typically takes about six months to fully diminish.
