Blepharoplasty Surgery – Eyelid Lift for a Youthful Look

Blepharoplasty Surgery in Kozhikode

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic or functional procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper and/or lower eyelids to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle, addressing issues such as droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, and vision obstruction.

Common Reasons for Blepharoplasty

Aging: The first signs of aging often appear around the eyes, causing sagging skin, puffiness, and wrinkles.
Genetics: Some individuals inherit droopy eyelids or excess skin around the eyes from their family.
Vision Obstruction: Excess skin on the upper eyelid can block vision, making surgery necessary for functional improvement.
Aesthetic Enhancement: Many opt for blepharoplasty to achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance.

Types of Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty – Removes excess skin and fat that may cause sagging or vision impairment.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty – Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags by removing or repositioning fat.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty – A minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat from the lower eyelid without external incisions.

Procedure Overview

Anesthesia – Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is used to ensure patient comfort.
Incision – A small incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid or inside the lower eyelid.
Tissue Removal or Repositioning – Excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed or repositioned to achieve a more youthful contour.
Closure – Incisions are closed using fine sutures or staples, minimizing visible scarring.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Enhanced Appearance – Rejuvenates and refreshes the look of the eyes.
Improved Vision – Removing excess upper eyelid skin can restore the full range of sight.
Boosted Confidence – Many individuals feel more confident and youthful after surgery.
