Blepharoplasty is a type of cosmetic eyelid surgery, which is also known as eyelid reduction surgery, eye bag surgery, or an eyelid lift. It is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids. Blepharoplasty surgery can rejuvenate puffy, sagging, drooping, or tired-looking eyes by tightening muscles and tissue or removing excess fat and skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The skin of the eyelids is much thinner than other parts of the face, and this is why it is often one of the first facial areas to exhibit signs of aging. Blepharoplasty (eye bag surgery) is one of the most commonly performed facial cosmetic surgical procedures. The popularity of cosmetic eyelid surgery procedures reflects the importance of the eyes in perfecting overall appearance.

“Many people believe that this type of surgery is purely cosmetic, but it can be highly functional too and can drastically improve a patient’s vision,” says Miss Pari Shams, Consultant Oculoplastic Surgeon. “Blepharoplasty surgery (eye bag surgery) removes excess skin and fat which can cause the eyelid to droop and interfere with a person’s vision of the field of vision, greatly improving peripheral vision and making daily activities such as driving easier.”

The thin eyelid skin is prone to faster aging, accelerated by heredity factors, skin type, sun damage, smoking, and diet. Blepharoplasty may become necessary when these factors cause the muscles and tissue that support the eyelids to weaken allowing the eyelid fat to herniate forwards.

If the eyelids begin sagging into the field of vision, a functional blepharoplasty or eye bag surgery may be required. The procedure may be covered by medical insurance if it is deemed medically necessary. The surgeon can assess the patients’ peripheral visual field using a test called the Humphrey Visual Field (HVF).

Although it is a useful and occasionally necessary procedure, this type of surgery does come with some known risks. A few medical conditions make blepharoplasty surgery riskier or the outcome unpredictable. They include thyroid problems such as hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease, when there can be increased post-operative swelling and inflammation; dry eye or lack of sufficient tears, which can result in uncomfortable eyes; high blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, which can complicate surgery such as bleeding or swelling and the administration of anesthesia; diabetes which can increase the risk of post-operative infection and slow healing and the use of blood thinners like aspirin and warfarin which can increase bleeding and bruising and compromise the outcome of surgery. If the patient is healthy or these conditions are optimized before surgery blepharoplasty surgery is typically a safe procedure that can drastically alter the quality of life.
