Cosmetic surgery for sagging eyelids: Blepharoplasty explained
Dr. Rajat Gupta, a board-certified plastic surgeon with 15 years of experience in aesthetic surgeries, is now offering Blepharoplasty in India. This surgical treatment, designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyelids, can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes excess skin, muscles, and fat from the eyelids. This helps to improve vision and give a more youthful appearance. The incisions are made in the natural folds of the eyelid, ensuring a discreet scar.
The Recovery Process
The recovery process for Blepharoplasty typically involves swelling and bruising for about 5 to 7 days. Most patients return to work and normal activities within 7 to 10 days. Full healing and final results generally take 3 to 6 months.
During recovery, cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medications are recommended to manage swelling and discomfort. Patients should keep their head elevated for the first few days and avoid strenuous activities such as heavy lifting or bending for 3 to 4 weeks. Stitches, if present, are typically removed within the first week unless dissolvable or hidden (as in transconjunctival blepharoplasty).
Makeup can usually be resumed after about one week to cover any residual bruising. Contact lenses should be avoided for about 2 weeks to allow proper healing of the eyes.
Additional Care
Protecting the eyes from sun and wind is essential during recovery. Sunscreen should be applied on the eyelids, and the surgeon's instructions on eye cleaning should be followed. Prescribed eye drops may be used to prevent dryness and irritation.

Preparing for Blepharoplasty
Before Blepharoplasty, only a light meal should be eaten the evening before. No food or drink should be consumed after midnight. Medications that thin the blood should be stopped one to two weeks before the procedure to reduce the risk of excess bleeding. Smoking should be stopped at least two weeks before Blepharoplasty.
Local or general anaesthesia is administered before Blepharoplasty. After 48 hours, warm compresses should be applied to promote faster healing during recovery.
Blepharoplasty: A Solution for Droopy Eyelids
Blepharoplasty is a surgical treatment for droopy eyelids caused by aging. Excess fat gathers above and below the eyelids due to weakened muscles, causing droopy upper eyelids and bags under the eyes. By removing this excess tissue, Blepharoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of the eyes.
