Blepharoplasty
The treatment
Blepharoplasty is surgery on the upper or lower eyelids, or both. It can remove excess skin and adjust or remove fat that causes heaviness or puffiness.
Concerns it may address
- Excess or hooded upper-eyelid skin
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- A tired appearance around the eyes
Who it may suit
Eyelid surgery may suit adults in good health with excess eyelid skin or puffiness, and no untreated eye conditions.
- Healthy eyes, or eye conditions already assessed
- Realistic goals for a rested appearance
When it may not be suitable
- Health conditions that increase surgical or anaesthetic risk
- Smoking that cannot be stopped before and after surgery
- Expectations surgery cannot realistically meet; a surgeon may recommend not proceeding
- Certain eye conditions, which may need an eye specialist’s opinion first
Alternatives that may be discussed
Some patients consider eyelid surgery as part of a wider facial plan alongside a facelift or rhinoplasty; for lines around the eyes caused by movement, anti-wrinkle treatment may be discussed instead.
Consultation and assessment
Your first appointment is a consultation only. You will have time to consider everything before deciding.
Preparing for your consultation
- Whether the concern is the upper lids, lower lids or both
- Medicines and supplements, including blood thinners
- Work and family commitments during recovery
- Any eye conditions, dry eyes or vision problems
Your goals
What you would like to change, and why it matters to you.
Surgical assessment
An examination and a full review of your health, medicines and previous procedures.
A considered decision
If surgery is appropriate, the procedure, risks, recovery and alternatives are explained, with no pressure to proceed.
What to expect
Your surgeon assesses the eyelids, brows and surrounding skin, and may recommend an eye examination. The technique, anaesthesia and surgical setting are explained before you decide.
Why plans differ
Eyelid skin, fat position, brow position and eye health differ, so the plan is specific to each person.
Recovery and downtime
Swelling and bruising around the eyes are expected and settle gradually. Your surgeon will explain eye care, follow-up and when you can return to normal activities.
Aftercare principles
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions on eye care, cold compresses and screen use
- Attend every follow-up appointment
- Contact your surgeon promptly about bleeding, fever or increasing pain
Safety and suitability
Risks include dry eyes, temporary blurred vision, asymmetry and scarring, and rare but serious complications. These are explained in full at consultation.
All surgery carries risks, which your surgeon will explain in detail at consultation. Suitability depends on your health, anatomy and expectations, and results vary between individuals. A procedure is recommended only when it is considered clinically appropriate.
Questions,
answered.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are usually placed in natural creases or inside the lower lid. Your surgeon will explain the approach for you.
Can upper and lower eyelids be treated together?
Sometimes. Whether one or both are treated depends on your assessment and plan.
Does blepharoplasty lift the brows?
No. If heaviness comes from the brow, a different approach may be discussed.
What happens at a blepharoplasty consultation?
Your surgeon discusses your goals, assesses the area and your medical history, and explains whether the treatment is suitable, what it may and may not achieve, and the risks. There is no obligation to proceed.
How much does blepharoplasty cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on your individual plan, including the surgical plan, anaesthesia and facility. Fees and treatment options are discussed as part of the consultation.
