Although eyes are a mirror to the soul, they also reflect your age. If you have already started noticing signs of aging affecting your eye, eyelid lift surgery can help restore the beauty of your face. It is crucial to be proactive to maintain bright, refreshed, and open eyes and so, start considering options for restoring a youthful look to your face at the right time.
What is eyelid surgery?
It is a cosmetic surgery procedure that helps improve the appearance of the upper eyelid. It helps reduce the signs of aging affecting the eyes and skin surrounding the eyes, such as fatty deposits that make your eyes look puffy and saggy. Eyelid surgery tightens the skin and surrounding muscles, reduces fat, and lifts the eyelid skin to make your eyes look open and bright.
Based on your needs, a few types of eyelid surgery are available in India. You can easily choose between upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both. Upper eyelid surgery involves incisions to get rid of fat and excess skin. The surgeon uses a thin stitch to bring the skin together and creates an eyelid crease.
When it comes to lower eyelid surgery, the surgeon will make cuts in the lower eyelid and get rid of the excess skin and fat. They will also sew the skin together to create a smoother and lifted look. Your eye surgeon may also recommend injecting fat into hollow areas under the eyes to give your eyes a fuller appearance.
Are you a good candidate for eyelid surgery?
Do you appear to squint or look tired in the photos even though you slept properly? Or are you bothered by undereye bags or dark circles that never go away? In both the cases, an eyelid surgery might be an option for you to achieve brighter, fuller eyes.
Aging can also be a great contributor to droopy or saggy eyes. If your eyes are affected by the signs of aging, you could be a candidate for eyelid surgery.
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is for patients tired of their drooping eyelid, under-eye wrinkles, bags, and deposited fat. All these things can make you look older than you are and eyelid surgery can be the best escape! However, before you undergo eyelid surgery, make sure you are in good physical condition and do not have any serious eye problems.

It is better to understand that every case is different. The results of the surgery also vary from patient to patient. Based on the statistics, the average cost of blepharoplasty in India ranges between Rs 80,000 to Rs 2 Lakh.

What are the recovery tips for eyelid surgery in India?

Some common side-effects of eyelid surgery can be mild bruising, irritation, swelling, and dry eyes.
