Your eyes are the first thing people notice about you, and when heavy, drooping eyelids make you look tired or older than you feel, blepharoplasty can be life-changing. At Norwest Cosmetic Surgery in Sydney, Dr. Senthil Supramaniam FACCSM offers expert eyelid surgery that delivers precise surgical results with a naturally youthful appearance.

 

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooded or drooping upper eyelids that can make you appear tired, older, or even impair your vision. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin that creates a fatigued appearance regardless of how well-rested you actually are.

Both procedures can be performed individually or together depending on your specific concerns and goals.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure at Norwest

Blepharoplasty at Norwest Cosmetic Surgery is performed in the fully equipped operating theatres of Norwest Private Hospital. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of surgery and patient preference. Upper blepharoplasty typically takes 1 to 2 hours, while combined upper and lower blepharoplasty may take 2 to 3 hours.

Dr. Senthil places incisions precisely within the natural folds and creases of the eyelids. ensuring any scarring is virtually invisible once fully healed. Excess skin, fat, and muscle are carefully removed and the incisions are closed with fine sutures.

Recovery and Results

Following blepharoplasty, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities within 10 to 14 days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4 weeks. Final results are typically visible at 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery, revealing a brighter, more youthful eye area that looks completely natural.

Many patients combine their blepharoplasty recovery with complementary non-surgical treatments. Dr. Senthil may recommend Botox for surrounding areas or forma skin tightening as a maintenance treatment to prolong surgical results and address skin laxity in adjacent areas.
