Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Your eyes are often the first thing people notice about you. However, genetics and the natural aging process can lead to droopy eyelids (ptosis) or hooded eyelids, making you appear exhausted even after a full night’s rest. If your eye area doesn’t reflect the energy and vitality you feel on the inside, consider blepharoplasty. At Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we specialize in blepharoplasty. This precise surgery can help you cultivate a rested and youthful appearance.

Blepharoplasty Explained

Commonly referred to as eyelid surgery, this procedure removes excess eyelid skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper and lower lids. Whether you are seeking cosmetic eyelid surgery to enhance your appearance or a functional eyelid surgery to improve a field of vision obscured by sagging skin, our team offers the precision required for natural-looking eyelid surgery results.

Often, our patients find that refreshing the eyes is the perfect first step in a broader rejuvenation plan, frequently pairing this procedure with a Lip Lift to create a balanced, youthful harmony between the eyes and the smile.

Depending on your specific goals, our eyelid surgery specialist may recommend:

Upper Eyelid Surgery:

Designed to correct hooded eyes and aging eyelids by removing the "hood" of skin that weighs down the lash line.

Lower Eyelid Surgery:

Specifically targeted at eliminating under-eye bags and smoothing out puffiness.

Double Eyelid Surgery:

A specialized technique used to create or define a visible crease in the upper lid for those with a "monolid."

Revitalize Your Appearance: Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes tends to lose elasticity, leading to sagging eyelids and tired-looking eyes. We provide a comprehensive solution to these concerns:

For Upper Lids: 

This upper blepharoplasty technique involves a discreet incision within the natural fold. This allows your surgeon to perform eyelid raising surgery, removing the heavy skin that creates a “tired” expression.

For Lower Lids: 

This approach effectively addresses eyelid surgery for eye bags. By repositioning or removing displaced fat, we eliminate the shadows that make you look older than you feel.

For those seeking a more dramatic transformation of the entire facial profile, blepharoplasty can be seamlessly integrated with a Facelift to address the jawline or a Rhinoplasty to refine the nose and center the facial features.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Choosing the right eyelid surgery clinic is the first step toward your transformation. During your eyelid surgery consultation, an experienced eyelid surgery surgeon will perform a thorough evaluation of your facial structure and any asymmetrical eyelids.

Most bleph eyelid surgery procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art Chicago-area facilities under local anesthesia. The exact steps of the procedure are:

Precision Incisions: 

For the upper lids, incisions are hidden in natural creases. For the lower lids, we often use a transconjunctival technique (inside the lid) to avoid external scarring.

Tissue Refinement: 

We meticulously remove excess tissue and contour the area for a smoother finish.

Closure: 

Using microscopic sutures, we ensure that long-term eyelid surgery results include virtually invisible lines.

Understanding Eyelid Surgery Risks and Safety

At our institute, your safety is our primary concern. While eyelid lift surgery is one of the most successful cosmetic procedures, it is important to be aware of potential eyelid surgery risks. Potential complications, though rare when handled by an experienced eyelid surgery surgeon, include:


  • Temporary dryness or light sensitivity.

  • Swelling after eyelid surgery and minor bruising after blepharoplasty.

  • Minor variations in symmetry as the two sides heal at different rates.

Eyelid Surgery Recovery: Your Healing Journey

Understanding the healing stages of blepharoplasty helps ensure a stress-free experience. While downtime for eyelid surgery is relatively short, proper aftercare is vital.

Days 1-3: You will likely experience some initial swelling. We recommend cool compresses and keeping your head elevated.

Days 7-10: Most patients find that blepharoplasty recovery time allows them to return to work and social activities as sutures are removed.

Final Results: You will notice a brighter gaze almost immediately, with the final look continuing to settle beautifully over the following weeks.
