Eye Lid Surgery
Eye Lid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eye area. It addresses issues like bagginess in the lower eyelids and excess skin on the upper eyelids. Over time, as our skin loses elasticity and gravity takes its toll, excess skin accumulates around the eyes. Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.This surgical procedure typically involves removing surplus skin, muscle, and underlying fatty tissue. However, in some cases, providers can reposition tissues instead of removing them. While primarily aimed at enhancing aesthetics, blepharoplasty can also benefit individuals with obstructed vision due to sagging upper eyelids.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
The ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are generally individuals aged 30 and above in good health, without any pre-existing eye conditions. However, it’s crucial to inform your healthcare provider if you have any of the following conditions:
- Eye diseases such as glaucoma, dry eyes, or a detached retina.
- Thyroid disorders like Graves’ disease, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism.
- Cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, or circulatory disorders.
- Diabetes.
When considering blepharoplasty, it’s essential to maintain realistic expectations. While this surgery can enhance your appearance and boost self-confidence, it won’t alter your facial structure. Many individuals have naturally asymmetrical features, which develop during early stages of growth. Blepharoplasty aims to refine your existing look, not to make dramatic changes. It’s vital to thoroughly understand your facial characteristics and discuss your expectations with your surgeon before proceeding.
Preparing for Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Before undergoing blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, there are some important steps to take in preparation for the procedure. Your ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon will guide you through this process:
Medical Evaluation
You may need to undergo a medical evaluation and possibly lab testing.
Smoking Cessation
It’s advisable to quit smoking before surgery, as it can affect your healing process.
Medication Adjustment:
Your surgeon may adjust your current medications or prescribe new ones as necessary.
Avoid Certain Medications:
Discontinue the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, blood thinners, multivitamins, and herbal supplements before surgery, as they can increase the risk of bleeding.
Eyelid Surgery Costs:
The cost of eyelid surgery in Kolkata varies based on the procedure’s type and complexity. Upper and lower eyelid surgeries have distinct price tags. Costs are also influenced by the specific surgical approach chosen.For precise cost-related information, please contact us at 86703 46028.

This procedure involves making incisions in the natural crease of your upper eyelid. These incisions are discreetly hidden when your eyes are open. Excess skin and protruding fat are removed, and the incisions are closed.Donec vitae sapien ut libero venenatis faucibus. Nullam quis ante. Etiam sit amet orci eget eros faucibus tincidunt. Duis leo.

In this case, an incision is typically made just below your lower eyelash line. Excess skin is removed from the lower eyelid through this incision. Alternatively, a hidden incision inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival incision) may be used to address lower eyelid concerns and redistribute or remove excess fat.Donec vitae sapien ut libero venenatis faucibus.

An upper blepharoplasty usually takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour. If both upper and lower eyelids are addressed simultaneously or if additional work is required, the procedure may take up to two hours.Donec vitae sapien ut libero venenatis faucibus.
