Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery or an eye lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging eyelids, remove excess skin and fat, and reduce the appearance of bags under the eyes. These signs of aging can make you look tired, older, or even impair your vision. At Nairobi Sculpt Aesthetic Centre, our expert surgeons specialize in blepharoplasty to restore a more alert, youthful, and refreshed appearance to your eyes.
The eyes are often the first area to show signs of aging, due to thin skin and constant muscle movement. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and the natural aging process can lead to:
Our goal with blepharoplasty is not just cosmetic enhancement but also, in some cases, to improve functional vision. During your detailed consultation, our surgeon will carefully assess your eyelid anatomy, discuss your aesthetic concerns and functional needs, and determine if upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination of both is most appropriate for you. We are committed to achieving natural-looking results that harmonize with your overall facial features, helping you look as vibrant as you feel.
Blepharoplasty involves making precise incisions along the natural creases of your eyelids (for upper lids) or just below the lash line or inside the lower lid (for lower lids). Through these incisions, excess fat is removed or repositioned, and sagging skin and muscle are tightened. The incisions are then carefully closed, leaving minimal scarring that typically fades over time and blends into the natural folds of your eyelids.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or sometimes general anesthesia, and typically takes 1 to 2 hours. After surgery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Most patients find that visible bruising and swelling subside within 10-14 days. You can typically return to light daily activities within a few days, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. The final results of blepharoplasty are usually noticeable within a few months, revealing a more rested and youthful eye area.
