Refresh Your Look with Blepharoplasty: What You Need to Know About Eyelid Surgery
Share
If your eyes feel heavy, tired, or aged—despite a full night’s sleep—blepharoplasty might be the solution you’ve been looking for. Commonly referred to as eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty is a transformative procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and puffiness around the upper and/or lower eyelids.
At Abrams Aesthetics, our expert providers specialize in facial refinement procedures that restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance—without changing the essence of who you are.
✨ What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses:
-
Droopy upper eyelids
-
Under-eye bags or puffiness
-
Loose, excess skin that creates folds or impairs vision
-
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
Depending on your needs, you may choose upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or both.
👁️🗨️ Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty typically:
-
Are in good health
-
Have realistic expectations
-
Experience sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess skin
-
Want a natural, refreshed appearance
Blepharoplasty can also help improve peripheral vision that’s been affected by heavy eyelids.
⏱ What to Expect During the Procedure
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case. The surgery usually takes 1–2 hours, and incisions are made within the natural folds of the eyelid to minimize visible scarring.
-
Upper eyelid surgery: Involves removing excess skin and fat
-
Lower eyelid surgery: Targets puffiness, bulging fat pads, and skin laxity
🧊 Recovery and Results
Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, though mild swelling or bruising may last up to two weeks. Cold compresses and prescribed ointments can help speed up healing.
You’ll begin to notice a refreshed, more open-eyed appearance within weeks—and results typically last 10+ years.
