Introduction
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is becoming increasingly more popular cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of both the upper and lower eyelids. It is typically sought by individuals aged 35 and older, or younger if it is necessary to correct vision impairment. Besides addressing signs of aging, such as sagging skin and undereye bags, this procedure can also improve peripheral vision by removing obstructive upper eyelid tissue. At Azurite Medical and Wellness, we specialise in enhancing your natural beauty through personalised and precise treatments with ISAPS accredited plastic surgeons. Here’s everything you need to know about blepharoplasty as well as pricing.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty at Azurite Medical and Wellness
Blepharoplasty offers a range of benefits:
Youthful Appearance: Addressing signs of aging such as sagging eyelids and undereye bags, enhancing your overall facial appearance providing a more refreshed and awake look.
Customized Solutions: Tailored procedures for upper and lower eyelids to meet your specific aesthetic goals.
Functional Improvement: Correcting vision impairment caused by drooping eyelids, contributing to improved visual clarity.
Minimal Downtime: In general, most people can return to normal activities about 3-5 days after blepharoplasty. If bruising and swelling make you self-conscious, you will be happier if you wait 7-10 days after surgery when you can use makeup to conceal residual bruising.
Considerations for Blepharoplasty at Azurite Medical and Wellness
While blepharoplasty offers significant advantages, it’s important to consider potential considerations:
Temporary Side Effects: Mild and manageable effects like swelling and bruising may occur post-surgery.
Skill and Expertise: Optimal outcomes depend on the expertise of our surgeons, ensuring natural-looking results.
Long-Term Care: Maintenance tips such as sun protection and healthy habits to preserve your rejuvenated appearance.
Risks of Blepharoplasty
Temporary vision problems – double or blurred vision may occur after undergoing eyelid surgery. This typically lasts for just a few days following the surgery.
Eye closure problems – some patients may have difficulty closing their eyes when they sleep; in rare cases this condition may be permanent.
Swelling or asymmetry changes – temporary swelling and a slight imbalance of one eye in relation to the other may occur during the healing or scarring process.
Acne – after the stitches are removed, tiny whiteheads may appear. The surgeon can remove the whiteheads with a very fine needle.
Ectropion – this extremely rare complication is the pulling down of the lower lids. Further surgery may be required in order to correct this symptom.
Who’s not a candidate for eyelid surgery?
In particular, any history of glaucoma, dry eyes, repeated conjunctivitis, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, facial nerve palsy or muscle disease and myasthenia gravis should be brought to your Surgeon’s attention.
