What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by addressing excess skin, puffiness and signs of aging around the eyelids.

As we age, the skin around our eyes naturally loses elasticity. The upper eyelids may develop excess skin that creates a heavy or hooded appearance, while the lower eyelids can develop bags, puffiness and wrinkles that make us look tired.

Dr. Mune Gowda offers both upper and lower blepharoplasty to address these concerns. Depending on your individual needs, eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both.

His approach combines surgical expertise with an understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics, with the goal of achieving natural-looking results that complement your features.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Restore a More Open, Refreshed Appearance

A natural part of aging is the gradual accumulation of excess skin on the upper eyelids. This can create a hooded appearance, make the eyes look smaller and contribute to a tired or heavy expression.

Upper blepharoplasty is designed to remove excess skin from the upper eyelids, creating a more open and refreshed appearance. During the procedure, Dr. Gowda carefully removes excess skin and may address underlying tissue as needed. The incision is typically placed within the natural crease of the upper eyelid, helping conceal the resulting scar.

For patients bothered by heavy or drooping upper eyelids, surgery can help restore a more youthful appearance while preserving their natural facial features.

Benefits of Upper Blepharoplasty

  • Reduces excess, sagging eyelid skin
  • Improves the appearance of hooded eyelids
  • Creates a more open and refreshed appearance
  • Helps restore definition to the upper eyelid crease
  • Addresses a heavy or tired appearance around the eyes

Lower Blepharoplasty

Reduce Under-Eye Bags and Look More Rested

A natural part of aging is the accumulation of excess skin and fat under the eyes. Lower blepharoplasty addresses these changes by removing or repositioning excess fat and, when appropriate, tightening loose skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

In other words, the procedure reduces the appearance of under-eye bags, which can make you look tired even when you feel well rested. Because the eyes are among the first areas of the face to show signs of aging, lower eyelid surgery can make a noticeable difference in your overall appearance.

Lower blepharoplasty can be performed on its own or combined with upper blepharoplasty or a brow lift, depending on your needs and aesthetic goals.

Benefits of Lower Blepharoplasty

  • Reduces the appearance of under-eye bags
  • Addresses excess skin and sagging beneath the eyes
  • Improves the appearance of wrinkles around the lower eyelids
  • Creates a smoother transition between the lower eyelids and cheeks
  • Helps achieve a more rested and refreshed appearance

Is It Right for You?

Who Is a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

Upper and lower blepharoplasty may be appropriate for adults who are bothered by changes in the appearance of their eyelids. Good candidates should be in appropriate overall health and have realistic expectations about surgery and recovery.

During your consultation, Dr. Gowda will evaluate your eyelids, discuss your goals and determine whether upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty or a combination of procedures may be suitable.

Get in Touch

You may be a candidate if you have:

  • Excess skin or hooding of the upper eyelids
  • Under-eye bags or persistent puffiness
  • Loose or sagging skin around the eyes
  • Wrinkles that contribute to an aged appearance
  • A tired appearance that does not reflect how you feel

Choosing Your Procedure

Finding the Right Plan for Your Eyes

Do I Need Upper Eyelid Surgery or a Brow Lift?

Some patients with heavy upper eyelids may benefit from upper blepharoplasty, while others may have a low brow position contributing to the appearance of excess eyelid skin.

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin from the upper eyelids. A brow lift raises the position of the eyebrows and can improve heaviness in the upper eye area. In some cases, both procedures may be appropriate.

Dr. Gowda can evaluate your brow position and eyelid anatomy to help determine which procedure may best address your concerns.

Can Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Be Performed Together?

Yes. Patients who have concerns about both their upper and lower eyelids may be candidates for combined eyelid surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty can address excess skin and hooding, while lower blepharoplasty can address under-eye bags and loose skin. Combining the procedures may allow both areas to be treated as part of one surgical plan.

Whether this is appropriate depends on your anatomy, health and individual goals.

Healing

What Is Recovery Like After Eyelid Surgery?

Recovery varies depending on whether you undergo upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty or both.

Swelling, bruising and temporary tightness around the eyes are common after surgery. These effects generally improve as healing progresses.

Your recovery timeline will depend on the extent of your procedure and your individual healing process. Dr. Gowda will provide specific postoperative instructions, including guidance on returning to work, exercise and other daily activities.

Following your postoperative instructions and attending follow-up appointments are important parts of your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Blepharoplasty FAQs

How long do the results of eyelid surgery last?

Eyelid surgery can provide long-lasting improvements, although the natural aging process continues. The longevity of results varies from patient to patient.

Will eyelid surgery leave visible scars?

Incisions for upper blepharoplasty are generally placed within the natural eyelid crease. Lower eyelid incisions may be placed just beneath the eyelashes or inside the lower eyelid, depending on the surgical technique. Scars typically become less noticeable as they heal.

Can I have eyelid surgery on just one area?

Yes. Upper and lower blepharoplasty can each be performed independently. Some patients choose to have both procedures, depending on their concerns and surgical recommendations.

Does eyelid surgery make you look younger?

Eyelid surgery can reduce certain visible signs of aging, such as excess skin, puffiness and under-eye bags. The goal is a refreshed appearance that complements your natural features.
