Luckily, if your eyelids sag due to aging, a medical condition, genetics, or other factors, there are a range of successful options.<\/p>\n<p>Many individuals choose blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery, to improve the appearance and function of their eyelids so they can look and feel better.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What is blepharoplasty?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of \u201cpuffy eyes\u201d or bagginess in the lower or upper eyelids.<\/p>\n<p>The surgery is usually done for cosmetic reasons and seeks to improve the facial appearance, especially around the eyes and the eyelids.<\/p>\n<p>Blepharoplasty, on the other hand, can also help individuals whose droopy upper eyelids are interfering with their eyesight.<\/p>\n<p>Eyelid surgery may be appropriate for patients with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-conditions\/dry-eye\/eyelid-conditions\/do-i-have-floppy-eyelids\/\">floppy eyelid syndrome<\/a> (FES) or medical disorders that cause FES.<\/p>\n<p>Facial wrinkles, crow&#8217;s feet, and dark circles under the eyes are not usually addressed with blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How is eyelid surgery performed?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The surgery will usually be performed as an outpatient procedure, usually in a hospital setting and by an oculoplastic surgeon.<\/p>\n<p>Your doctor will give you medicines and local anesthetic before the surgery. During the operation, incision lines will be used to cover any surgical scars and will blend in with the natural features of your eyelid.<\/p>\n<p>In most situations, the oculoplastic surgeon will use the incision in your upper eyelid to remove or reposition fat deposits, tighten muscles, and\/or remove superfluous skin.<\/p>\n<p>The lower eyelid incision is hidden just below the lower lashes, resulting in surgical scarring that is practically undetectable. Sutures or skin glue are used to close most incisions, and they can be removed after a week.<\/p>\n<p>To minimize discoloration of the lower eyelids, some surgeons may use a laser or chemical peel.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\">Contact an eye doctor near you,<\/a> to find out more about eyelid surgery.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-conditions\/dry-eye\/eyelid-conditions\/do-i-have-floppy-eyelids\/\">Do I have Floppy Eyelids?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"practice-search-widget\">\n\t\t<h3>Find an eye doctor near you<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t<form class=\"practice-search-form practice-search-form-widget\" action=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/results\/\" method=\"get\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"page\" class=\"practice-search-page\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_latitude\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_longitude\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"address\" class=\"practice-search-address\" placeholder=\"City, Surburb or Address\" value=\"\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<button type=\"submit\" class=\"practice-search-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 19 19\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.6796 0.130005C9.15708 0.130059 7.66615 0.5646 6.38198 1.38258C5.09781 2.20057 4.07373 3.36803 3.43004 4.74783C2.78634 6.12763 2.54976 7.66246 2.74808 9.17205C2.9464 10.6816 3.57139 12.1033 4.54964 13.27L0.729639 17.08C0.6364 17.1732 0.562439 17.2839 0.511979 17.4058C0.461519 17.5276 0.435547 17.6581 0.435547 17.79C0.435547 17.9219 0.461519 18.0524 0.511979 18.1743C0.562439 18.2961 0.6364 18.4068 0.729639 18.5C0.917942 18.6883 1.17334 18.7941 1.43964 18.7941C1.5715 18.7941 1.70207 18.7681 1.82389 18.7177C1.94571 18.6672 2.0564 18.5932 2.14964 18.5L5.99964 14.62C7.35406 15.6038 8.98566 16.1324 10.6596 16.13C12.7814 16.13 14.8162 15.2871 16.3165 13.7869C17.8168 12.2866 18.6596 10.2517 18.6596 8.13C18.6596 6.00827 17.8168 3.97344 16.3165 2.47315C14.8162 0.97286 12.7814 0.130005 10.6596 0.130005H10.6796ZM10.6796 14.13C9.49295 14.13 8.33291 13.7781 7.34622 13.1188C6.35952 12.4595 5.59049 11.5225 5.13636 10.4261C4.68224 9.32975 4.56342 8.12335 4.79493 6.95946C5.02644 5.79558 5.59788 4.72648 6.437 3.88736C7.27611 3.04825 8.34521 2.4768 9.5091 2.24529C10.673 2.01378 11.8794 2.1326 12.9757 2.58673C14.0721 3.04085 15.0092 3.80989 15.6685 4.79658C16.3277 5.78328 16.6796 6.94332 16.6796 8.13C16.6796 9.7213 16.0475 11.2474 14.9223 12.3726C13.7971 13.4979 12.2709 14.13 10.6796 14.13Z\" fill=\"#fff\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"practice-search-use-my-location\">\n\t\t\tSearch near me\n\t\t<\/button>\n\n\n\t<\/form>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<h2><b>Who\u2019s a candidate for blepharoplasty?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Adults that are generally in good health who have realistic expectations of the surgery are ideal candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates for blepharoplasty are typically over 35 years old, non-smokers, and do not have any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-conditions\/eye-conditions\/\">major eye diseases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you smoke, your eye doctor will discuss the following measures with you because smoking reduces blood flow to surgical sites, and may affect your recovery from eyelid surgery and other oculoplastic procedures.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What to expect following eyelid surgery<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Your eyes will be covered with gauze for a brief time in the doctor&#8217;s office after the surgery.
