Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, at DAPS is designed to rejuvenate the eye area by addressing signs of aging such as heaviness, puffiness, or sagging skin. The procedure can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids, depending on the individual’s needs. Upper blepharoplasty is the most common and straightforward type of eyelid surgery. It involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat above the eyes—often referred to as ‘hooded eyes’—to restore a more open and refreshed appearance. Lower blepharoplasty targets the area beneath the eyes, where loose skin and fat can create a ‘bulging’ effect. This procedure removes or repositions fat and tightens the skin, reducing puffiness and smoothing the under-eye area for a more rested and youthful look. In both procedures, fat repositioning and skin tightening may be performed to enhance natural contours and meet the patient’s aesthetic goals.
