Local or twilight anaesthesia ensures patient comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question in mind?
What is upper blepharoplasty, and who needs it?
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin, fat, or weak muscle from the upper eyelids. It’s ideal for people with sagging or hooded eyelids, droopy skin that makes the eyes look tired, or obstructed vision caused by heavy lids.
How does lower blepharoplasty work?
Lower blepharoplasty focuses on eye bags, puffiness, and loose skin beneath the eyes. The surgeon either removes or repositions fat through a small incision inside the eyelid or just below the lashes, resulting in a smoother, refreshed under-eye area.
What is non-surgical CO₂ blepharoplasty?
The CO₂ laser gently resurfaces the delicate eyelid skin, stimulating collagen to tighten, smooth wrinkles, and reduce mild sagging or puffiness, all without scalpels or stitches. It’s best for those with early signs of ageing who want a non-invasive option.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
Your choice depends on your concerns and skin condition:
>> Upper blepharoplasty: for droopy lids, heavy folds, or vision obstruction.
>> Lower blepharoplasty: for under-eye bags, puffiness, or hollowing.
>> Non-surgical CO₂: for mild sagging, fine lines, or early ageing signs.
A consultation will determine the safest and most effective option.
Is blepharoplasty painful?
Surgical blepharoplasty is done under local or twilight anaesthesia, so you’ll feel only slight pressure or tugging but no pain during the procedure. Mild swelling or soreness after surgery can be managed with pain relief and usually subsides within a few days.
How long do the procedures take?
Upper & lower blepharoplasty: usually 45-60 minutes.
CO₂ laser blepharoplasty: typically 30–60 minutes.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients return to normal daily tasks in 7-10 days after surgical blepharoplasty. Bruising or swelling is common but fades in 1–2 weeks.
With CO₂ laser blepharoplasty, there’s mild redness or peeling for 3–5 days, but downtime is much shorter.
How soon will I see results?
Surgical blepharoplasty: Initial results are visible once swelling reduces in 2-3 weeks, with final results in 3-6 months as tissues settle.
CO₂ laser: Improvement in skin texture and tightness appears within 2-4 weeks as collagen rebuilds.
How long do results last?
Surgical blepharoplasty often provides results lasting 7-10 years, depending on ageing and lifestyle factors.
CO₂ laser blepharoplasty gives 1-2 years of improvement, and occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended.
Are there any risks or complications?
All procedures carry small risks such as swelling, bruising, dry eyes, infection, or temporary blurred vision. These are usually temporary and improve with proper care. Serious complications are rare when performed by an experienced surgeon.
Can blepharoplasty improve vision?
Yes. Upper blepharoplasty can help when drooping skin obstructs your upper field of vision, allowing your eyes to feel lighter and vision to improve.
Is blepharoplasty suitable for all ages?
Most patients are in their 30s–60s, but suitability depends on your skin condition and eyelid concerns, not age alone. A consultation ensures the treatment matches your needs.
When can I wear makeup or return to exercise?
You can usually resume light makeup after 7-10 days once the incisions heal and return to exercise after 2-3 weeks, as advised by your surgeon.
