Upper and lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the eye area by correcting drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and excess skin or fat. At Bellissima Medical Center, blepharoplasty procedures are performed under expert surgical care to restore a more youthful, refreshed, and alert appearance while maintaining natural facial harmony.
What Is Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic eyelid surgery that can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and improving eyelid contour, while lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye puffiness, bags, and skin laxity for a smoother, more rested look.
Concerns Addressed
Upper and lower blepharoplasty is commonly used to address drooping upper eyelids, excess eyelid skin, under-eye bags, puffiness, fine wrinkles, and a tired or aged appearance around the eyes. In some cases, upper blepharoplasty may also improve visual obstruction caused by heavy eyelids.
How Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty Works
During the procedure, the surgeon makes precise incisions along the natural eyelid creases or inside the lower eyelid. Excess skin, fat, and tissue are carefully removed or repositioned to restore a smoother, more youthful eye contour. Incisions are closed with meticulous technique to minimize visible scarring.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Upper and lower blepharoplasty may be suitable for individuals experiencing eyelid sagging, under-eye bags, or age-related changes around the eyes. A comprehensive surgical consultation is required to assess eyelid anatomy, skin quality, eye health, and aesthetic goals.
The Treatment Process
Consultation & Eye Assessment
Each procedure begins with a detailed consultation, including eye and eyelid evaluation, medical history review, and discussion of desired outcomes. A personalized surgical plan is created based on individual needs.
Blepharoplasty Surgery
Blepharoplasty is performed under appropriate anesthesia by a qualified surgeon. The procedure duration varies depending on whether upper, lower, or combined eyelid surgery is performed.
