Eyelid Correction Surgery (Blepharoplasty Revision)

Eyelid correction surgery is a type of revision surgery aimed at addressing issues that arise after a previous blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). This procedure focuses on improving both the appearance and functionality of the eyelids.

When is Eyelid Correction Surgery Needed?

Over-resection of skin or fat, leading to hollowing or an unnatural appearance.

Eyelid ptosis (drooping) or difficulty closing the eyes.

Asymmetry between the eyelids.

Visible scarring or dissatisfaction with the initial results.

The Eyelid Correction Surgery Process:

Evaluation: The surgeon examines the current state of the eyelids and discusses the patient’s concerns.

Planning: A customized surgical plan is developed to address the specific issues.

Surgery: The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. Excess skin or fat may be removed, and muscles may be tightened to achieve the desired results.

Recovery: Swelling and bruising are common for the first few days. Full recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks.

Benefits of Eyelid Correction Surgery:

Restores a natural and symmetrical appearance to the eyelids.

Improves eyelid function, such as blinking and closing the eyes.

Increases patient satisfaction and confidence.
