Introduction
Do your eyes look tired or aged even when you’re well-rested? Are droopy eyelids or puffy bags making you appear older or affecting your vision?
The eyes are often the first area of the face to show signs of aging. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a safe and effective procedure that corrects excess skin, puffiness, and sagging around the eyes. At Asteria Aesthetics Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya performs precision blepharoplasty to restore a refreshed, youthful, and alert appearance, without changing your natural expression.
Common Causes
Changes in the eyelids can occur due to age, genetics, or lifestyle. As the skin loses elasticity and fat shifts, it creates puffiness, drooping, or deep creases.
Common reasons for seeking blepharoplasty include:
- Sagging upper eyelids causing hooded eyes
- Puffiness or bags under the lower eyelids
- Obstructed peripheral vision due to excess eyelid skin
- Tired or aged appearance despite feeling energetic
- Hereditary eyelid heaviness is visible from a young age
- Poor definition between the eyelid and brow area
Treatment Process
Blepharoplasty is a customized procedure that may involve the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It can be purely cosmetic or medically necessary when vision is impaired.
Step 1: Detailed Consultation
Description: Dr. Apoorv Loya examines your eyelid structure, muscle tone, skin laxity, and fat pockets. Photographs may be taken for planning and to evaluate symmetry.
Result: A surgical plan is customized to your anatomy and desired outcome.
Best For: Individuals with visible drooping, under-eye bags, or obstructed vision.
Step 2: Surgical Correction
Description: The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. For upper blepharoplasty, excess skin and muscle are removed. For lower eyelids, fat repositioning or removal is performed through an internal or external incision.
Result: Smooth, tightened eyelid contours and a refreshed look.
Best For: Those with upper heaviness, eye bags, or both.
Step 3: Recovery & Healing
Description: Mild swelling and bruising are common for 3–5 days. Sutures are removed (if non-dissolving) in about 5–7 days.
Result: Visible improvement in eye shape and clarity appears in 1–2 weeks.
Best For: Men and women aged 30+, particularly those in public-facing roles.

Patients often present with droopy upper lids, under-eye puffiness, or a heavy, aged look. Some experience blocked vision in the upper visual field. A full eye and brow assessment is done.
During Your Treatment
The procedure lasts 1–2 hours and is performed in a sterile OT under monitored anesthesia. You are discharged the same day with aftercare instructions.
After Your Treatment
Recovery is relatively quick. You may have mild bruising and tightness for a few days. Cold compresses and eye ointments are used. You’ll notice clearer, more open eyes and a well-rested look in about 10–14 days.

FAQs
Q1. Is blepharoplasty painful?
Most patients feel only mild discomfort, which is well managed with cold compresses and prescribed pain relievers.
Q2. Will there be scars?
Incisions are placed within the natural eyelid crease and heal invisibly in most cases.
Q3. Is the surgery permanent?
Upper eyelid surgery typically lasts 7–10 years; lower eyelid correction is often permanent.
Q4. Can it affect my vision?
Only in a positive way—removing excess upper lid skin can improve peripheral vision if it was previously blocked.

Most patients return to work or social activities within 7–10 days, depending on swelling and healing rate.
