Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Abu Dhabi
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and repositions or removes fat from the upper or lower eyelids. It corrects hooded eyelids and puffy under-eye bags that can make you look tired even after a good night’s sleep.
Because the eyes are central to your expression, our surgeons focus on subtle, natural changes that keep the shape of your eyes.
Who Is It For?
- Hooded or heavy upper eyelids
- Excess eyelid skin that affects makeup or vision
- Puffy bags under the eyes
- Tired-looking eyes despite rest
Your Options
- Upper blepharoplasty: Removes excess upper eyelid skin through an incision hidden in the natural crease.
- Lower blepharoplasty: Treats under-eye bags; a transconjunctival approach inside the lid leaves no visible scar.
- Blepharoplasty with fat transfer: Fills hollows beneath the eyes for a smoother transition to the cheek.
Your Journey
- Consultation: A private assessment with a DoH-licensed plastic surgeon to understand your goals, review your health and agree a personalised plan.
- Procedure: Performed with precise techniques that put your safety and a natural-looking result first.
- Aftercare: A personalised recovery plan and scheduled follow-ups until your final result.
Recovery
- Bruising and swelling for 1–2 weeks
- Stitches removed after about a week
- Return to work after 7–10 days
- Final result after a few months
Hollows rather than bags?
Under-eye filler or skin boosters may be enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that removes excess skin and adjusts fat in the upper or lower eyelids to correct hooding and under-eye bags.
Q2. Can surgery fix hooded eyes?
Yes. Upper blepharoplasty removes the excess skin that causes hooding, with the scar hidden in the natural eyelid crease. If the brow has also dropped, a brow lift may be added.
Q3. How is lower eyelid surgery done?
Lower blepharoplasty removes or repositions the fat that causes under-eye bags. It can often be done from inside the lower lid, leaving no visible scar.
Q4. How long is recovery after eyelid surgery?
Bruising and swelling usually settle within one to two weeks, and most women return to work after 7–10 days.
Q5. Are eyelid tapes or lifters an alternative?
Eyelid tapes give a temporary cosmetic effect only. If hooding bothers you daily or affects your vision, blepharoplasty is the lasting solution.
