Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty—commonly known as eyelid surgery—is not just about removing excess skin or treating under-eye bags. A natural, harmonious rejuvenation requires a deep understanding of the entire periorbital region. Aging affects the eyes in multiple ways: bone loss around the orbit, fat deflation in the brows, temples, and cheeks, drooping brows, bulging fat pads, weak eyelid muscles, and a rounding of the outer eye corners. If only one component is addressed, the result often looks incomplete.

Blepharoplasty, especially when customized, is one of the most rewarding facial plastic surgery procedures—both for patients and surgeons. Here's why:

Why Choose Blepharoplasty?

  • Practically invisible scars thanks to thin eyelid skin and expert scar placement.

  • A refreshed, youthful appearance that feels soft and natural.

  • Comprehensive eye rejuvenation when combined with brow lifts and fat grafting.

  • Long-lasting, balanced results when the full anatomy is respected.

  • Upper eyelid surgery can dramatically improve tired or heavy-looking eyes. It can:

    • Remove excess upper eyelid skin and redefine the eyelid crease.

    • Remove or reposition fat internally to correct hollowness or bulging.

    • Address eyelid ptosis by lifting the lid margin.

    • Create an almond-shaped or “foxy eye” look by adjusting the eye axis.

    • Frequently combined with fat grafting to the brow to restore lost volume.

  • Lower eyelid surgery treats puffiness, under-eye bags, and tear trough hollows. This procedure may include:

    • Removal of minor excess skin.

    • Fat repositioning or transposition to smooth the tear trough and lower eyelid–cheek junction.

    • Fat grafting to fill hollow or sunken areas.

    • Canthopexy to tighten the outer corner of the eye and reshape the eye axis.

    This results in smoother, more youthful under-eyes with natural-looking contours.

  • For patients with sagging outer brows and/or lateral hooding (excess skin in the outer corner of the eye), a deep temporal brow lift offers a powerful yet natural enhancement:

    • Lifts the tail of the brow, where sagging is most common.

    • Anchors deeper tissues—not just skin—for longer-lasting results.

    • Performed via a small incision hidden in the temporal hairline.

    • Can be done alone or combined with upper blepharoplasty and fat transfer to the temples and cheeks.

    • Proven stability for 5+ years.

Combining Blepharoplasty with Fat Grafting and Brow Lift

For optimal and natural-looking results, blepharoplasty is often combined with:

  • Fat transfer to hollow areas like the brow, temples, or cheeks.

  • Temporal brow lift for brow elevation without pulling the skin.

  • Canthopexy or canthoplasty to support the lower lid and enhance the eye shape.

This comprehensive approach rejuvenates the entire eye area, resulting in a brighter, more youthful, and well-rested appearance.
