What is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes loses elasticity, leading to sagging, drooping skin, puffiness, under-eye bags and fine wrinkles. These changes often create a tired or older appearance.

Blepharoplasty restores a more youthful, refreshed look by enhancing the structure and contour of the eyelids.

Which concerns does blepharoplasty address?

Patients often seek eyelid surgery to treat:

• Drooping or hooded upper eyelids
• Puffiness caused by excess fat around the eyes
• Under-eye bags and shadowing
• Loose or creased skin that alters the eye shape
• A fatigued or aged appearance

By correcting these concerns, blepharoplasty improves facial harmony, enhances eye definition and rejuvenates the overall expression.

What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery targets sagging skin, heaviness or hooding that affects vision or appearance. This procedure focuses on:

• Removing excess skin
• Sculpting muscle and fat for a youthful contour
• Enhancing eyelid symmetry
• Creating a natural and defined eyelid crease

The result is brighter, more open eyes without altering the patient’s natural features.

Lower blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery corrects under-eye bags, puffiness, wrinkles and hollowing. Techniques may include:

• Fat repositioning to smooth the under-eye area
• Removal of excess fat when necessary
• Skin tightening to enhance texture
• Improving the eyelid-cheek transition

This procedure helps achieve a refreshed, rested appearance and reduces the look of tiredness.

What are the benefits of blepharoplasty in Abu Dhabi?

Patients who undergo blepharoplasty with Dr. Paulo Michels experience a noticeable enhancement in eye aesthetics and facial balance. Key benefits include:

• Sharper, more youthful eyelid contours
• Reduced under-eye puffiness and shadowing
• Improved symmetry and definition of the eyes
• A naturally refreshed, vibrant look
• Long-lasting results tailored to facial anatomy
• Minimally visible scars thanks to precise incision placement
• Short downtime with modern surgical techniques

Who is an ideal candidate for blepharoplasty?

You may be an excellent candidate for blepharoplasty if you experience:

• Sagging or droopy eyelid skin
• Puffy upper or lower eyelids
• A tired or stressed facial appearance
• Difficulty applying makeup due to excess skin
• A desire for subtle but effective facial rejuvenation

A thorough consultation with Dr. Paulo Michels helps determine suitability based on your goals, eyelid anatomy and overall health.

How is the blepharoplasty procedure performed?

1. Comprehensive consultation. We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your eyelid structure, skin elasticity and facial proportions. Understanding your aesthetic goals is essential for creating a personalised surgical plan.
2. Customised surgical planning. Each surgery is individually designed. Dr. Paulo Michels considers the eyelid shape and crease, facial structure, degree of skin laxity, fat distribution and desired aesthetic outcome.
3. The surgical procedure. Blepharoplasty may be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. It can include removing or repositioning fat for smoother contours, tightening loose skin, refining muscles for a natural shape, and placing incisions within natural eyelid creases for minimal visibility.
4. Closure and recovery. Incisions are closed with fine sutures to ensure discreet scarring. Patients typically return home the same day with complete aftercare guidance.

What should you expect during recovery?

Recovery from blepharoplasty is generally quick and comfortable. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Common post-operative expectations include:

• Mild swelling or bruising that gradually fades
• Use of cold compresses to reduce discomfort
• Temporary avoidance of strenuous activity
• Scheduled follow-up appointments for optimal healing

Our team provides full support throughout the healing process, ensuring a safe and smooth recovery.
