Types of Blepharoplasty
Procedures We Offer
Upper Eyelid Surgery
This procedure, also known as upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid blepharoplasty, involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to eliminate droopy eyelids and improve vision.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
This surgical procedure addresses sagging skin and excess fat in the lower eyelids, reducing bags and puffiness for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Scarless Transconjunctival
Lower Blepharoplasty
This is an excellent option for patients who have primarily fat prolapse under the lower eyelid with limited excess skin or muscle. In this technique, Mr Supriya will use a cut made inside the lower eyelid i.e lower conjunctiva, to access and remove or translocate excess fat. This avoids any external scar and has lesser bruising and swelling externally. In some cases this can be combined with limited skin cuts to remove excess skin.
Combined Upper and
Lower Eyelid Surgery
For comprehensive rejuvenation, we offer combined upper and lower blepharoplasty to treat both upper and lower eyelids in a single procedure.

Blepharoplasty combined with other facial rejuvenation

How Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Works
Blepharoplasty surgery involves making incisions in the natural folds of the eyelids to remove or reposition excess skin and fat. The procedure typically lasts around 20-25 minutes per eyelid and recovery time is about a week. Here’s a brief overview of the process:
- Upper Eyelid Surgery: Incisions are made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and fat.
- Lower Eyelid Surgery: Incisions are made just below the eyelashes or inside the lower eyelid to address bags and puffiness. As explained above in suitable cases, the incision can be made inside the eyelid to avoid any visible scar.In both technique, Mr Supriya will also lift the muscle of lower eyelid and tighten the eyelash line.
Why Undergo Eyelid Surgery?
As you age, your skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles and bags around your eyes. Blepharoplasty surgery can:
- Remove excess skin and fatty tissue
- Reduce wrinkles and bags
- Eliminate dark circles
- Strengthen weakened eye muscles
Undergo eyelid surgery to appear more youthful, boost your confidence and improve your vision if obstructed by sagging skin.
Blepharoplasty Risks
Eyelid surgery is a very safe and effective procedure and choosing the right surgeon will further minimise any risks associated with this type of surgery. It is important, however, to know what the potential complications of any surgery may be:
- Possible infection and bleeding
- Dry, irritated eyes
- Difficulty closing your eyes – or other eyelid problems
- Noticeable scarring
- Injury to eye muscles causing double vision
- Out-turning of lower eyelid/eyelash (ectropion) leading to asymmetry and excessive watering
- Rounded appearance of outer eye corner
- Skin discoloration
- The need for a follow-up surgery
- Temporary blurred vision or, in very rare cases, loss of eyesight

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Blepharoplasty Surgery Involve?
Blepharoplasty surgery involves making precise incisions along the natural creases of your eyelids to remove or reposition excess skin and fat. For upper eyelid surgery, the incisions are typically made within the natural folds of the upper eyelids. For lower eyelid surgery, incisions can be made just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid.
Is Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery Safe?
Yes, cosmetic eyelid surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, but complications are rare and usually minor. Choosing a skilled surgeon like Mr Supriya can further minimise these risks.
What is a Blepharoplasty Upper Eyelid Lift?
A blepharoplasty upper eyelid lift is a procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This helps eliminate droopy eyelids and can improve vision if sagging skin obstructs it. The result is a more youthful and alert appearance.
Will I Have Visible Scars After Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery?
The incisions made during blepharoplasty eyelid surgery are strategically placed within the natural folds of the eyelids or inside the lower eyelid, making them almost invisible once healed. Scarring is minimal and typically fades significantly over time.
How Long Do the Results of Blepharoplasty Last?
The results of blepharoplasty can be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits for several years. While the natural ageing process continues, the improvements from the surgery are usually permanent, especially when accompanied by a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare.
Is Blepharoplasty Surgery Painful?
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during the initial recovery period after blepharoplasty surgery. Pain is usually well-managed with prescribed painkillers and other post-operative care instructions. Most discomfort subsides within the first week.
Can Blepharoplasty Improve My Vision?
Yes, blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision if droopy eyelids or excess skin are obstructing your field of vision. By removing the excess tissue, the surgery can enhance both your appearance and visual function.
What Are the Potential Risks of Blepharoplasty?
While blepharoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include infection, bleeding, dry or irritated eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, noticeable scarring and, in rare cases, injury to the eye muscles or temporary blurred vision. Discussing these risks with your surgeon can help you make an informed decision.
