Your eyes say a lot about you—and they’re often the first to show signs of fatigue or aging. Over time, drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, or loose skin can affect not only how you look but also how well you see. Fortunately, eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, offers a safe and effective solution.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your appearance or correct vision problems caused by drooping eyelids, Dr. Jyoti Batra Ohri provides expert care with precision and an aesthetic touch.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It’s performed for both cosmetic enhancement and functional improvement.

Cosmetic Reasons for Eyelid Surgery

If you feel your eyes look tired or older than you feel, you’re not alone. Common aesthetic concerns include:

• Sagging upper eyelids
• Puffy under-eye bags
• Wrinkled skin around the eyes
• Hollow or sunken eye appearance

Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eye area, making you look more awake, youthful, and refreshed.

Medical Reasons for Eyelid Surgery

For some patients, drooping eyelids aren't just cosmetic—they interfere with daily life. Medical indications for blepharoplasty include:

• Visual obstruction caused by excess eyelid skin
• Eye fatigue or forehead strain from constantly lifting brows
• Irritation or dryness due to poor eyelid function
• Recurrent infections or inflammation in skin folds

Who Should Consider Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty may be right for you if you:

• Notice drooping eyelids that affect your appearance or vision
• Feel your eyes look tired even when you're well-rested
• Experience discomfort or eye strain from excess eyelid skin
• Are in good health with realistic expectations

Dr. Jyoti Batra Ohri will evaluate your specific concerns and guide you through a personalized treatment plan.

How Is the Procedure Done?

• Performed under local anesthesia (sometimes with light sedation)
• Upper eyelid surgery removes skin and fat to lift the lid
• Lower eyelid surgery smooths under-eye bags and puffiness
• Tiny, hidden incisions are made within natural folds
• The procedure takes about 1–2 hours

Recovery and Results

• Mild swelling or bruising may occur for a few days
• Stitches are usually removed within 5–7 days
• Most patients return to work in about a week
• Final results appear gradually and look natural and long-lasting

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is eyelid surgery painful?

The procedure is not painful. Mild discomfort or tightness may be felt in the first few days, easily managed with medication.

2. How long does the result last?

Most patients enjoy the results for many years. While aging continues, your eyes will still look younger than if you hadn’t had the surgery.

3. Will there be visible scars?

No. Incisions are made in natural eyelid creases and heal with minimal scarring.

4. Can both upper and lower eyelids be treated together?

Yes. Many patients choose to correct both during the same procedure for a balanced, refreshed look.

5. When can I wear makeup again?

Light makeup can usually be applied after 10–14 days, once healing is complete.
