Eyelid correction, commonly referred to as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. This treatment addresses concerns such as droopiness, puffiness, and excess skin. At Lux Hospitals, we understand that well-defined eyelids can revitalize your look and enhance your self-esteem.
What is Eyelid Correction?
Eyelid correction involves surgical or non-surgical methods to enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the eyelids. The procedure can create a more youthful, alert appearance and may also improve vision if sagging skin obstructs your line of sight.
Types of Eyelid Correction Treatments
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: This procedure focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, which can help correct drooping and restore a more youthful appearance.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: This treatment addresses puffiness and bags under the eyes by removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin, resulting in a smoother contour.
- Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: Performed through an incision inside the lower eyelid, this technique minimizes visible scarring and is suitable for patients with minimal excess skin but significant fat deposits.
- Asian Eyelid Surgery (Double Eyelid Surgery): This procedure creates a defined crease in the upper eyelid for individuals of Asian descent who desire a more prominent eyelid fold.
- Revision Blepharoplasty: For those who have previously undergone eyelid surgery but are dissatisfied with the results, revision blepharoplasty can refine or enhance the eyelid appearance.
Benefits of Eyelid Correction
Improved Aesthetics
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates your appearance by removing sagging skin and reducing puffiness around the eyes. This enhancement offers a more youthful and refreshed look.
Enhanced Vision
Correcting drooping eyelids can improve your field of vision by eliminating excess skin that may be obstructive, resulting in clearer sight.
Increased Self-Esteem
Many patients experience a boost in confidence and self-image post-procedure, feeling more at ease and satisfied with their refreshed appearance.

The Eyelid Correction Procedure
The eyelid correction process generally includes the following steps:
- Consultation: A thorough consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and evaluate your eyelids to determine the most appropriate treatment.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort.
- Incisions: Incisions are made along natural eyelid creases or inside the eyelid to minimize scarring.
- Fat Removal or Repositioning: Excess fat is removed or repositioned, and the skin is tightened to achieve the desired outcome.
- Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures, which may dissolve on their own or need to be removed later.
Recovery and Aftercare
After your procedure, it’s normal to experience some swelling and bruising. These effects will gradually subside as you recover. Here’s what you can expect:

- Most patients can return to normal activities within a week.
