Whether addressing cosmetic concerns like puffiness, sagging skin, or a chronically tired look, or correcting conditions that affect vision and comfort, eyelid surgery offers both aesthetic and medical benefits that can meaningfully improve quality of life.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and rejuvenate the area around the eyes. It addresses common cosmetic concerns such as dark circles, under-eye bags, excessive skin, wrinkles, and droopy or puffy eyelids — whether caused by aging or inherited factors. The procedure is frequently performed alongside other facial surgeries, such as a face lift or rhinoplasty, to achieve more comprehensive results. A specialized form of the procedure, East Asian blepharoplasty, creates an upper eyelid crease for patients whose eyelids do not naturally form one.
East Asian blepharoplasty (also known as double eyelid surgery or Asian eyelid surgery), is a type of cosmetic eye surgery where the skin around the eye is reshaped (blepharoplasty). The purpose of the procedure is to create an upper eyelid with a crease (a double eyelid) from an eyelid that does not naturally have a crease.
Ptosis refers to the drooping or falling of the upper eyelid, resulting from dysfunction of the muscles responsible for lifting the lid or the nerves that control them. If left untreated, ptosis can progress and lead to additional complications, making early evaluation and treatment important for preserving both appearance and eye health.
Blepharoplasty is performed to remove or reposition excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyelids to restore a more youthful and rested appearance. Depending on the patient’s needs, the surgery may address the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and is commonly performed in conjunction with other facial procedures such as a face lift or rhinoplasty for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. For patients with functional conditions such as entropion, ectropion, or ptosis, the procedure goes beyond cosmetic improvement — correcting structural issues that cause discomfort, irritation, or impaired vision. Whether the goal is aesthetic or medical, blepharoplasty is a versatile and effective surgical solution for restoring both the function and appearance of the eyes.
