One of the earliest signs of ageing are changes around the eyes. These start with fine lines and wrinkles which progress to dark circles, under eye bags, hollowness and excess loose upper and lower eyelid skin. Eyes which shows these changes make a person look tired, old and often unhappy.
Rejuvenation of the area around the eyes involves addressing problems of the skin texture, fat pads around eye and loose eyelid skin. A Blepharoplasty involves removing the excess skin and readjusting the fat around the eyes. Some times, Fat Grafting may be combined with Blepharoplasty to add volume around the eyes.
Rejuvenation of the Eyes is a combination of surgical and non surgical treatments (Fillers, Radiofrequency) to give you a youthful and refreshed look!
SHOULD I GET EYELID SURGERY?
TIRED AND OLD LOOK
With age, there is loss of volume and eyes start to look hollow with droopy skin. These changes are seen earlier in life due to stress, smoking, poor skin care, lack of sleep, dehydration and excess alcohol consumption.
INABILITY TO SEE
Loose folds of eyelid skin around the eyes can block your field of vision. This is especially a problem while driving, climbing down the stairs and doing precise work with your hands or even cooking.
XANTHELESMA
In some patients, yellowish nodules are seen around the eyes which are known as Xanthelesma and are associated with High Cholesterol Levels. These look unsightly, can grow in size and even form an ulcer.

Pre Operative
Detailed history, review of your medications and preoperative photos help us assess the defect accurately. REJUVENATION around the eyes may involve non surgical and surgical options and these need to be discussed in detail to formulate the correct treatment plan.
Procedure
Eyebag removal surgery is done under local or general anesthesia. Skin excess is marked and removed using very fine plastic surgical techniques. The volume loss (hollowness) around the eyes is corrected by readjusting the fat pads or adding fat by Fat Grafting. In severe cases, lower eyelid tightening procedures like Canthoplasty or Canthopexy may be required.
Post Operative
Blepharoplasty is done as a daycare procedure and does not need an overnight stay in the hospital. Patients go home the same evening with painkillers and antibiotics.
Recovery
Most patients will be back to work with in 4-5 days. There is swelling around the eyes goes away in 7-10 days.
* It is important to note that results vary with each individual, depending on a combination of factors such as age, skin elasticity, muscle tone and lifestyle
SOME CONCERNS
IS EYELID SURGERY SAFE?
IS EYELID SURGERY PAINFUL?
HOW LONG WILL THE SWELLING LAST?
WHAT PRECAUTIONS DO I TAKE?
Radiofrequency, Fillers and Ultrasound are some ways to tighten loose skin around the eyes. However if you have loose and droopy fat around the eyes, you will need surgery.
It is natural to have swollen eyelids after surgery. Pain is easily controlled by medicines for 1-2 days. Some itching, eye irritation is common too. Most symptoms resolve in 1-2 weeks and the beautiful result can be seen. Final result is seen after 6-8 weeks once the scar starts to fade.
It is a daycare procedure which can be done under local anesthesia too. Both upper and lower lids can be treated at the same time, also known as a ‘4 Quadrant Blepharoplasty’.
Yes, Eyelid surgery is routinely done along with other facial procedures like Face and Neck Lift, Fat Grafting or Implant insertion.
Eyelid with no or minimally visible crease is often seen in East Asians. This appearance is corrected by creation of a lid crease. This is known as the Double Eyelid Surgery.
Scar of an Eyelid surgery is hidden in the natural skin creases and fades over time with good scar treatment.
