Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
A small change, felt across the whole face
Surgeon: Dr. Mehdi Salmani Moghaddam — General Surgeon
Duration
1–2 hours
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia or light sedation
Recovery
5–10 days
Hospital Stay
Same-day discharge
With age — or from birth — upper eyelid skin loosens and lower-lid fat pads become more prominent, leaving a tired look that a good night's sleep doesn't fix, and in severe cases narrowing the field of vision.
Incisions sit in the eyelid's natural crease and are barely visible once healed. Dr. Salmani Moghaddam brings the same anatomical precision he applies in body-contouring surgery to this procedure; in suitable patients, combining it with rhinoplasty or another facial procedure in one anesthesia session is also an option worth discussing.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Drooping upper-lid skin that gives the eyes a tired, heavy look

- Vision restricted by severe eyelid drooping
- Interest in combining this with rhinoplasty or another facial procedure
The Process
- 1
Exam & Design
Eyelid and eye-health check; marking exactly how much skin and fat to remove
- 2
Surgery
Incision along the natural eyelid crease removing excess tissue; combinable with another procedure same-session
- 3
Early Recovery
Cold compresses; sutures out within about a week
- 4
Back to Makeup & Routine
Bruising fades in 1–2 weeks; makeup once incisions are fully healed
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — in suitable patients both procedures are done in one anesthesia session; the final call depends on overall health and estimated surgery time at the exam.
The goal is a more open, rested look, not altering the eye's natural shape; how much skin and fat is removed is judged carefully to preserve it.
Results typically last more than 10 years; natural skin aging may cause mild drooping again years later, which a follow-up visit can address.
Blepharoplasty takes about 1–2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. Hospital stay: same-day discharge; initial recovery is 5–10 days. If you are travelling in, allow 7 to 10 days for the whole process — consultation, tests, surgery and the first follow-up.
