Eyelid lift surgery or blepharoplasty
The human eye is one of the most complex parts of the human body. It is also the first part of your face that attracts people's attention and plays an important role in the beauty of the face and the expression of people's feelings. But unfortunately, this sensitive organ shows signs of aging earlier than other body parts. In this case, the suggestion of beauticians to restore vision and beauty to a person's face is to perform blepharoplasty (Blepharoplasty) to repair drooping eyelids.

Blepharoplasty consists of two words, blepharon and plast, which in the literal meaning of blepharon means eyelid and plast means making. The word blepharoplasty means the construction or reconstruction of the eyelid, which is one of the cosmetic procedures to eliminate wrinkles around the eyes and drooping eyelids. This surgery can solve the problem of drooping eyelids by removing a part of the extra skin of the upper eyelid, and by removing the extra skin and emptying the accumulated fat under the eyes or sometimes both eyelids.

As the skin ages, it no longer has the freshness and color it used to, and gradually loses its youthful appearance, which is usually manifested by puffiness around the eyes or drooping of the eyelids and eyebrows. Ptosis or puffiness around the eyes or drooping eyelids or eyebrows is a term that is often used for eyes that are swollen and sometimes inflamed. Aging is one of the causes of puffiness around the eyes. In addition to aging, which weakens and droops the muscles of the eyes and eyelids, other factors cause ptosis, including:
- tiredness
- Genetic and hereditary reasons
- Some kidney and heart diseases
- Hormonal changes
- Burns and accidents cause drooping around the eyes.
This causes the skin to loosen and lose the consistency of the skin and the tissues that support the eyelid, and it can reduce your vision, and the heaviness of the eyelid creates an annoying state for you, and in more severe cases, it completely limits your vision.
Of course, blepharoplasty surgery is not only used to remove puffy eyelids, excess fat, or drooping eyelids, but sometimes for people who have problems with back or puffy eyelids due to burns, accidents, or birth defects and need eyelid reconstruction and correction of eye design. It is also used as an eyelid.
The right age for eyelid surgery
The appropriate age for blepharoplasty depends on the type of surgery and its difficulty. This surgery is performed in three groups: young, middle-aged and elderly. This surgery is performed from under the age of 20, which is usually to solve congenital problems, and up to the age of 80, to eliminate the problems caused by aging.
Anesthesia or local anesthesia?
Eyelid plastic surgery is performed in two ways with general anesthesia or local anesthesia. In fact, the decision in this case depends on the type of operation and the patient’s condition. It is better to have a pre-surgery consultation with Dr. Amir Daryani, your plastic surgery specialist, so that you can get complete information about the procedure.

It should be noted that the type of surgery is chosen by the surgeon based on the patient’s condition and the type of eyelid shape.
Upper eyelid surgery
In upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid so that it is not recognizable. Then a part of the eyelid skin is removed, and then the subcutaneous tissue and, if necessary, the fat tissue are removed with special care and delicacy.
Lower eyelid surgery
Lower eyelid surgery in this operation may be performed with or without skin incision. If cutting is done, the cutting line will be right below the eyelashes.
