What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove or reposition excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids. The procedure can address both medical (functional) and cosmetic concerns.
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid surgery corrects drooping skin that may hang over the eye, sometimes interfering with normal vision.
Benefits may include:
Improved upper and peripheral vision
Reduced heaviness of the eyelids
Less eye strain during daily activities
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery focuses on under-eye bags, puffiness, and hollowness, helping restore a refreshed appearance.
Benefits include:
Reduction of under-eye bags
Smoother eyelid contours
A more rested and youthful look
Depending on the patient’s condition, blepharoplasty can be performed for functional improvement, cosmetic enhancement, or both.
Who Is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You may benefit from blepharoplasty if you experience:
Heavy or drooping upper eyelids
Reduced peripheral vision due to excess eyelid skin
Eye strain or headaches caused by lifting the brows to see clearly
Persistent under-eye bags or puffiness
A tired or aged appearance around the eyes
A detailed eye examination with Dr. Faizan Mehmood will determine the most suitable treatment option for your condition.
Functional Blepharoplasty – Improving Vision and Comfort
Many patients assume droopy eyelids are only cosmetic. In reality, excess eyelid skin can significantly block the visual field, making daily tasks more difficult.
Functional blepharoplasty may help by:
Restoring peripheral and upper field vision
Reducing eye strain and brow fatigue
Improving comfort during reading or computer use
Eliminating the habit of raising the eyebrows to see clearly
When vision obstruction is confirmed through visual field testing, the procedure may qualify for insurance coverage, depending on the provider.
Cosmetic Blepharoplasty – Natural Eye Rejuvenation
Cosmetic eyelid surgery focuses on refreshing the eye area without changing the natural facial expression.
At Clemenceau Medical Centre Hospital Dubai, cosmetic blepharoplasty can:
Create a more alert and youthful eye appearance
Reduce puffiness and under-eye bags
Improve symmetry around the eyes
Enhance overall facial balance
Dr. Faizan Mehmood follows a conservative surgical philosophy, focusing on subtle improvements rather than dramatic changes.
