What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Cosmetic eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids and surrounding areas. It addresses issues like excess skin, puffiness, and drooping eyelids that can make you look tired, aged, or even obstruct your vision. By improving loose skin, fatty deposits, bags under the eyes, and eyelid droopiness, a blepharoplasty helps you look more rested and youthful.
Patients choose blepharoplasty to remove under-eye bags, tighten sagging skin, and open up their eyes for a more alert and vibrant look.

What Are the Types of Eyelid Surgery Performed?
Dr. Jejurikar offers different eyelid surgery options, tailoring them to your needs. Whether you’re looking to improve function, restore symmetry, or achieve a more rested appearance, our experienced plastic surgeon will recommend the ideal solution to deliver your desired results.
Here are your different eyelid surgery options:
Upper Eyelid Surgery: This procedure removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids that may droop over the eyes, causing a tired appearance, or may interfere with vision. It creates a more defined eyelid crease and opens the eyes for a brighter, more alert look. Many patients choose this procedure for aesthetic rejuvenation and an improved field of vision. Sometimes this is combined with a surgical brow lift to enhance the results.
Lower Eyelid Surgery: This technique focuses on the area beneath the eyes, eliminating puffiness, under-eye bags, and fine lines. Dr. Jejurikar carefully repositions or removes fat to smooth out the lower eyelid and restore your youthful contours. He also removes excessive skin, either with a discreet incision just below the eyelashes or with the use of resurfacing lasers to tighten the skin. Lower eyelid lifts are ideal for patients who want to reduce the appearance of tired or aging eyes.
Double Eyelid Surgery: Combining upper and lower eyelid surgery can create or enhance the upper eyelid crease in individuals who naturally have little or no visible folds. The procedure is highly customized to preserve natural anatomy while achieving a more open and defined eyelid appearance. It is performed with a focus on achieving balance and harmony with the surrounding facial features.
Revision Eyelid Surgery: Revision blepharoplasty is designed to correct or improve scarring, asymmetry, or unsatisfactory results from previous eyelid surgeries. Dr. Jejurikar will skillfully and artistically restore both function and aesthetics. This type of surgery is often more complex than primary blepharoplasty, requiring an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Jejurikar, with his refined techniques and expertise.
What Are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery with Dr. Jejurikar?
Blepharoplasty offers both cosmetic and functional benefits, including the following:
- It reduces puffiness, under-eye bags, and sagging, helping patients look more rested, awake, and youthful.
- It helps remove excess eyelid skin, which can be especially helpful for patients whose eyelid sagging can obstruct their vision.
- Many patients feel more vibrant and refreshed in appearance, providing a confidence boost.
- Most patients experience minimal downtime, a quick recovery, and long-lasting results.
- The procedure is custom-tailored to your needs, enhancing your natural facial structure and restoring your rested, vibrant appearance.
What Can You Expect During the Eyelid Surgery Procedure?
Before your procedure, Dr. Jejurikar will evaluate your eyelid concerns, review your health history, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. He will discuss whether you need upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both. Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Jejurikar may recommend combining your eyelid surgery with other treatments, such as brow lifts or non-surgical rejuvenation, to enhance your final results.
Eyelid surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes one to two hours to complete, depending on the complexity and whether both eyelids are being treated. Dr. Jejurikar performs blepharoplasty using either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for your comfort throughout the procedure.
During surgery, Dr. Jejurikar will make incisions concealed within the natural creases of your upper eyelid, just below your lash line, or inside the lower eyelid. The precise incision placement helps minimize visible scarring and ensures a natural-looking outcome. Dr. Jejurikar will access and remove or reposition fat deposits through the incisions, tighten your eye muscles, and remove excess skin as needed to create a smoother, more youthful eyelid contour. After making the desired corrections, our skilled plastic surgeon will close the incisions with fine sutures and a sterile dressing to protect the area.
What Is the Recovery Timeline?
After surgery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, irritation around the eyelids, or dry eyes, which should begin to resolve in the first several days. Any scarring from the incisions will slowly fade over the following year.
- Days 1–3: Swelling and mild discomfort; cold compresses recommended
- Week 1–2: Stitches removed, major swelling subsides, return to light activities
- Weeks 3–4: Results continue to improve as residual swelling fades
- Months 2–3: Final results are visible; eyes appear smoother, more youthful, and refreshed. Scars begin to fade significantly.
Dr. Jejurikar will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if you:
- Have drooping or hooded upper eyelids
- Struggle with under-eye bags or puffiness
- Experience vision obstruction due to sagging eyelid skin
- Are in overall good health and have realistic expectations
Dr. Jejurikar will evaluate your facial anatomy, specific concerns, and goals to help you determine whether blepharoplasty is right for you.
