Overview
What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids. Depending on the patient's goals, it can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. While some people opt for this procedure purely for cosmetic reasons, it can also be done to improve vision by lifting droopy upper eyelids that obstruct peripheral sight.
This surgery is ideal for addressing the following:
Under-eye bags or sagging lower eyelids
Loose or sagging upper eyelids that may interfere with vision
Puffiness or fatty deposits around the eyes
Fine wrinkles and excess skin in the lower eyelids
Although eyelid surgery offers impressive aesthetic improvements, it does not treat issues like crow’s feet, dark circles, or significantly drooping eyebrows. Additional procedures may be recommended for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Undergoing surgery from the best eyelid surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Daneshrad, offers a range of cosmetic and functional benefits. Some of the key advantages include:
Improved vision
Lifting droopy upper eyelids can clear up your peripheral field of vision, making daily tasks like driving safer and easier.
Youthful appearance
Removing excess skin and fat tightens the eye area, providing a younger, more refreshed look.
Enhanced self-confidence
Many patients feel a significant boost in their self-esteem after the procedure, as their eyes are brighter and more open.
Long-lasting results
While the aging process continues, the improvements from blepharoplasty can last for many years, making it a worthwhile investment in your appearance.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You may be an ideal candidate for eyelid surgery if you are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the procedure. Common reasons patients seek blepharoplasty include:
- Wanting to reduce signs of aging around the eyes
- Needing to correct vision issues caused by drooping eyelids
- Seeking a solution for under-eye puffiness or sagging
However, certain health conditions such as eye diseases, diabetes, thyroid disorders, cardiovascular issues, or high blood pressure may prevent you from being a good candidate for the surgery. During your consultation, your overall health and goals will be thoroughly evaluated to ensure that eyelid surgery is right for you.
FAQs About Eyelid Surgery
How long does the recovery process take?
Most patients return to work within a few days to a week after surgery, although they should avoid strenuous activities for about two weeks. Swelling and bruising typically subside within two weeks, and stitches are removed after three or four days.
Are the results of blepharoplasty permanent?
While the aging process continues, the changes made during eyelid surgery are long-lasting. Your eyelids will age from a younger baseline, and the skin will never sag or droop as much as it did before the surgery.
Will there be noticeable scars after surgery?
No. The incisions are strategically placed in the eyelids' natural creases, making them nearly invisible once healed. In cases of lower eyelid surgery, the incision may be made inside the eyelid, leaving no external scar at all.
