Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. Over time, aging, genetics, and lifestyle factors can lead to sagging eyelids, puffiness, eye bags, and a tired appearance. Blepharoplasty restores a youthful, refreshed look by enhancing the natural contours around the eyes.
At our centre, Dr. B. R. N. Padmini performs upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty with precision and an artistic approach. For upper eyelids, the procedure focuses on removing loose, hanging skin that may also interfere with vision. For lower eyelids, excess fat deposits responsible for under-eye bags are addressed to create a smoother, firmer appearance. Incisions are placed strategically within natural creases, ensuring minimal visible scarring.
The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case. It typically takes 1–2 hours, and patients can return home the same day. Swelling and mild bruising may occur initially but subside within a few days. Most individuals resume normal activities within a week.
Blepharoplasty offers long-lasting results, brightening the eyes and giving the face a rested, youthful appearance. It is one of the most effective anti-aging procedures, helping patients regain confidence and facial harmony. Whether performed alone or combined with a brow lift or facelift, Dr. Padmini’s technique ensures natural-looking results without altering the patient’s unique expressions.
