Types of Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

There are several types of cosmetic eyelid surgery, and which one is best will largely depend on the specific type of bulging around your eyes. Here are the most common types of cosmetic eyelid surgery, almost all of which have the effect of helping you attain a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a type of cosmetic eyelid surgery that involves removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper eyelids.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that aims to remove extra skin, fat, or muscle from the lower eyelids.

Upper Eyelid Ptosis Repair

Upper eyelid ptosis repair is a type of cosmetic eyelid surgery that involves correcting drooping upper eyelids. This can be done by removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids.

Asian Eyelid Surgery

Asian eyelid surgery is a type of cosmetic eyelid surgery that is specifically tailored to meet the needs of those with Asian descent. It can involve removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper and lower eyelids

Skin Tag Removal

Skin tag removal is a type of cosmetic eyelid surgery that involves removing small, skin-colored growths from the eyelids. These growths are typically benign and do not cause any health problems. However, they can be unsightly and some people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons.

Cosmetic eyelid surgery can help to improve the appearance of the eyelids, making you look more youthful and refreshed. It can also help to correct drooping eyelids that might be causing vision problems. Additionally, it can remove skin tags or other growths that are causing cosmetic concerns.

The most notable benefits for patients who undergo blepharoplasty include:

  • Removal of obstructions in their vision
  • Tightening of the skin to prevent bags and dark circles
  • Reduction in excess skin that causes “crepe paper” wrinkles
  • A younger-looking and more refreshed appearance

Although the operation is a simple one with a quick recovery, it can significantly enhance the appearance of the entire face by brightening and smoothing the area surrounding the eyes.

Recovery from cosmetic eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is typically quick and relatively painless. Most people feel well enough to return to their normal activities within a week. However, it is important to avoid strenuous activity or rubbing the eyes for at least a week after surgery to avoid damaging the incisions.
