Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) refreshes your appearance by treating droopy eyelids, under-eye fat bags, and excess redundant eyelid skin. It can also enhance vision if sagging skin obstructs sight. At Dr. Raja Fakhoury Clinic, we combine advanced techniques with personalized care to deliver natural and seamless results.

Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs:

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Removes excess skin and fat, tightening the remaining tissue to restore a youthful look.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

• Transcutaneous: An external incision removes excess skin and tightens tissue.
• Transconjunctival: An internal incision reshapes fat without leaving visible scars.
• Fat repositioning is typically done to fill the hollows in the tear trough area, enhancing the eyes’ youthful appearance.

Surgical Steps

1. Consultation: Detailed assessment to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
2. Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia for patient comfort.
3. Incision: Discreet incisions are made along natural eyelid creases to minimize visible scarring.
4. Tissue Adjustment: Excess fat, muscle, and skin are removed or repositioned as needed.
5. Closure: The incisions are closed with fine sutures for a seamless result.
