Eyelid Surgery — Blepharoplasty
Our eyes show our thoughts and emotions—and tiredness, puffiness, drooping skin and age show there first. Eyelid surgery treats sagging skin, excess fat and drooping muscles of the eyelids for a lasting, brighter and more youthful look.

Common Questions
FAQs on Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is performed mainly for aesthetic reasons. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and/or fat. Lower blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess fat to give a contoured eyelid, and can be combined with lateral canthopexy in selected cases.
Upper blepharoplasty is performed through an incision in the upper eyelid crease, under local anaesthesia, as a day-care procedure. Excess skin is removed according to pre-operative markings, then herniated fat pads are addressed. The layers are closed carefully so the final scar falls in the eyelid crease for a natural look. Tapes are applied at the end, and sutures are removed after 10 days.
Lower blepharoplasty is performed through a subciliary incision or a transconjunctival approach, under local anaesthesia, as a day-care procedure. The transconjunctival approach suits younger people with only excess fat bulging—the incision is inside the eyelid, so no scar is visible. The subciliary incision is placed carefully below the eyelashes to remove or reposition excess fat. Procedures such as lateral canthopexy can be combined to correct the canthal tilt.
Four-eyelid surgery treats all four eyelids (upper and lower, both sides) in a single sitting. It is usually done for late middle-aged to elderly patients who need correction of excess skin and/or fat as well as canthal tilt or other issues discussed at consultation. It is a day-care procedure under local anaesthesia.
Double eyelid surgery creates an eyelid crease in people of Asian descent who usually lack one. It is done for aesthetic reasons as a day-care procedure under local anaesthesia. The missing attachment between the eyelid-lifting muscle and the skin is recreated with permanent sutures so the crease stays permanent; excess skin and fat may also be removed for a deep, natural crease.
Scars are permanent, so they are planned carefully. In upper blepharoplasty the incision sits in the upper eyelid crease, mimicking a natural crease. With the transconjunctival approach, scars are inside the eyelid and never seen. A well-placed subciliary scar is hardly visible after a couple of days and heals well.
Heaviness and swelling of the eyelids are expected immediately after surgery. Sterile tapes support the eyelids for a few days. You can wear dark glasses and return to work from the next day if you wish, and icing helps the swelling settle over a few days. You will be given antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and eye drops or ointment to keep your eyes moist during sleep. Stitches are removed after 10 days, after which an anti-scar cream helps the scar fade further.
Upper or lower blepharoplasty usually takes 30–45 minutes under local anaesthesia. Because it is performed so close to the eyes, it should only be done by an experienced surgeon who takes great care to protect the cornea and conjunctiva.
Yes. As well as the aesthetic benefit, upper blepharoplasty can improve vision—especially in older patients—because it removes excess skin and the herniated fat that presses on the upper eyelid.
Results usually last 5–7 years or longer, depending on how your skin ages and how you care for it—regular moisturiser, sunscreen and serums help prevent sun damage.
For younger people who prefer to avoid surgery, a thread lift can lift the eyelids and eyebrows. It is a quick outpatient procedure; mild swelling settles quickly and results are best after 3 weeks.
Eyelid fat cannot be removed without surgery. Instead, fillers placed at a few strategic points can stretch the ligaments around the eyes and help reposition the fat more favourably.
Cost depends on several factors. Indicatively, it ranges from INR 40,000–50,000 for the upper eyelids and INR 45,000–55,000 for the lower eyelids in Delhi.
