Blepharoplasty
Restore a Refreshed, Rested Appearance With Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, helps correct drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and excess skin that can make the eyes look tired, aged, or heavy. The procedure restores a more alert, youthful appearance while preserving your natural expressions.
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a precise and carefully planned procedure that addresses these concerns. It involves removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle around the upper or lower eyelids to restore a smoother, more refreshed contour.
The goal of blepharoplasty is not to alter your eye shape or expressions, but to help you look more rested, alert, and natural. When performed thoughtfully, the results are subtle and long-lasting, enhancing facial balance while preserving your unique features. With proper assessment and technique, eyelid surgery can deliver a refreshed appearance.
Are You the Right Candidate?
- You may be a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty if you notice
- Drooping upper eyelids that make your eyes look tired or heavy
- Excess eyelid skin affecting your field of vision
- Under-eye bags or puffiness
- Creased or sagging eyelids
- An aged or constantly fatigued appearance around the eyes
This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a refreshed, natural look rather than a dramatic change.
How This Procedure Works
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your individual needs. In upper eyelid blepharoplasty, excess skin and fat are removed through an incision hidden within the natural eyelid crease, creating a more open and rested appearance. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty focuses on reducing under-eye bags by removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin, often through an incision placed inside the eyelid to minimise visible scarring. Eyelid surgery is typically done as a day-care procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, based on patient comfort and surgical complexity.
Dr. Mayur uses refined surgical techniques that place incisions along natural eyelid creases or inside the lower eyelid, ensuring minimal visible scarring. The aim is to restore clarity and openness to the eyes while maintaining natural movement and expression.
What Affects the Cost?
The cost of blepharoplasty depends on whether upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both are treated. Additional factors include the extent of correction required, surgical technique, operating time, and facility charges. If the procedure is performed to address functional concerns such as vision obstruction, this will also influence planning. A detailed and transparent cost estimate is shared after your consultation once your treatment plan is finalized.

Your Recovery Experience
Recovery after blepharoplasty is generally smooth, predictable, and well tolerated by most patients. Mild swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness around the eyes are common in the initial days after surgery and are a normal part of the healing process. These effects gradually improve over the first one to two weeks with proper rest and care.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to desk work, light activities, and social interactions within 7 to 10 days. If external stitches are placed, they are typically removed within the first week. Temporary dryness, sensitivity to light, or mild irritation may occur during early healing but usually resolve on their own as the tissues recover.
As healing progresses, the eyelids continue to soften and settle, allowing the final results to appear more refined and natural over the following weeks. While early improvements are visible fairly quickly, subtle changes can continue for several months. Detailed post-operative instructions, follow-up visits, and personalised guidance are provided throughout recovery to ensure safe healing, comfort, and optimal long-term outcomes.
