What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery involves a surgical procedure of removing excessive skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. Sagging eyelids, droopy eyelids, puffy under-eye bags, and other such factors can be caused due to age, genetics, or specific health problems.
Blepharoplasty treatment is essential as it not only improves the appearance of your face but also helps you to gain back clear vision by eliminating your droopy eyelids that obstruct your vision. Advanced cosmetic eyelid surgery, laser blepharoplasty, and functional eyelid surgery help improve both appearance and vision.

Treatment Methods at ASG Eye Hospital
Blepharoplasty Upper Eyelid
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty involves the removal of excessive fat and skin from the upper eyelids. This treatment method is usually suggested to those who have drooping eyelids that impair their vision or create a tired appearance.
It helps create an improved eyelid shape, rejuvenates the appearance, and improves visual functions. The latest eyelid surgery techniques, laser eyelid surgery, and advanced cosmetic procedures help to achieve less scarring and rapid healing.
Blepharoplasty Lower Eyelid
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty aims at reducing under-eye bags, swelling, and sagging skin below the eyes. The surgery involves the removal or redistribution of the excessive fat and tightening of the lower eyelids.
It improves the appearance of the face and eliminates the visible signs of aging. This is often the choice of many people for cosmetic eye surgery, under-eye bag treatment, and facial rejuvenation.
Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty
The laser technique of blepharoplasty is used for precise correction of the eyelids by utilizing laser technology which ensures less bleeding and less swelling. This procedure will enhance the surgical precision and decrease the recovery period.
This high-tech approach is suitable for selected patients who require minimal intervention in their eyelids. Laser blepharoplasty, laser eye surgery, and advanced cosmetic eyelid correction assist in achieving better skin tightening and cosmetic effects.
Functional Eyelid Surgery
Functional blepharoplasty can be done on individuals whose droopy eyelids affect their vision and eye functions. Removal of excessive skin from the eyes allows clear vision without eye strain.
This surgery is done not only for cosmetic reasons but also for medical reasons since this surgery helps to make eyes comfortable and gives better vision. Functional eyelid correction surgery and vision improvement surgery help restore eye functionality.
