Blepharoplasty Surgeon in Delhi

Blepharoplasty Surgery Cost In Delhi Ranges From Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000

INTRODUCTION

‘Eyes are the windows of the soul,’ this speaks about the significance of eyes not only in facial aesthetics but overall personality.

The skin and muscle lose their elasticity and strength because of the aging process. This results in an accumulation of loose skin that collects as folds in the upper lids and generates creases in the lower lids. At the same time, the muscle under the skin loosens allowing the fat that covers the eyes to extend forward to cause bagginess. In some cases, bags are also developed due to inheritance during early adulthood prior to skin changes. These kinds of changes in the muscles and skin surrounding the eyes reflect a distressed and unhappy look. The characteristics of droopy eyelids are excess upper eyelid skin, hooded eyes, crow’s feet, hollowed look, and unsightly eye bags.

Blepharoplasty surgery in Delhi at our clinic is performed on both the upper eyelids or the lower eyelids, depending on the indication and nature of the patient’s concern. During this surgery, incisions are created on the upper eyelids, and excess skin is removed to correct hooded eyelids. Lower eyelid surgery involves an incision on the eyelash line for the correction of fat bags and repositioning of tissues to correct under-eye bags and hollowing.

Surgery time: The blepharoplasty in Delhi done at our clinic takes 1-2 hours.

Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery: Which One Do You Need?

The choice between getting upper or lower eyelid surgery usually depends on the kind of complications you have. We need to understand that not all eyelid concerns are the same - some people experience upper eyelid drooping, while others struggle with under-eye bags and dark circles.

So, when considering blepharoplasty surgery in India, whether or not you need upper or lower eyelid surgery will be discussed at length with our surgeons at Aestiva.

1. Upper Eyelid Surgery

If you have droopy lids and obstructed vision, upper eyelid surgery is usually considered the best option. It helps to eliminate the excess skin, muscle, and fat that cause a "hooded" or tired appearance. There are instances where the sagging skin often obstructs vision, making it a medically necessary procedure.

Benefits include:

• Restore youthful and alert appearance.
• Enhances eye symmetry.
• Improves peripheral vision.
• Creates a smoother eyelid crease.

2. Lower Eyelid Surgery

If you have under-eye bags and wrinkles around them, getting lower eyelid surgery addresses puffiness, under-eye bags, wrinkles, and dark circles, creating a smooth, youthful under-eye contour. In most cases, lower eyelid surgery usually involves fat repositioning rather than removal.

Benefits include:

• Removes the puffiness from the under eyes.
• Smoothens the fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes.
• Reduces dark circles.
• Creates a firmer, more contoured under-eye area.

So, depending on the complications you are experiencing, your surgeon at Aestiva will curate a personalised plan for the blepharoplasty surgery in Delhi.

Can Eyelid Surgery Be Combined with Other Procedures?

One of the most common questions most patients have regarding eyelid surgery is whether or not it can be combined with other procedures. Additional treatments are common and include:

• You can consider getting eyelid surgery with a brow lift to correct hooded eyes and drooping brows.
• You can consider getting eyelid surgery with a facelift for full-face rejuvenation and eliminate visible signs of ageing and skin sagging.
• You can consider getting eyelid surgery with fat grafting to restore volume in your face.
• You can consider getting eyelid surgery and laser skin resurfacing to enhance the skin’s texture and tone.
• You can combine eyelid surgery with a session of Botox and fillers for further facial enhancements.

If you are considering improving the aesthetics of your face, eyelid surgery can be combined with numerous other surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures for favourable outcomes. However, having a thorough discussion about the procedures, especially if they are surgeries, with the surgeon is crucial to ensure a high success rate and precise outcomes.

How Much is Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty?

The cost of blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery depends on many things. It can change depending on factors like how experienced your doctor is and whether you are doing upper, lower, or both types of eyelid surgery.

• Upper blepharoplasty is usually less expensive than lower blepharoplasty. In this surgery, the extra skin or fat from your upper lid is removed by your surgeon.

• Lower blepharoplasty, on the other hand, focuses on the area under your eyes. People undergo lower eyelid surgery as it helps to reduce puffiness and remove dark circles. Besides, it also helps to tighten the loose skin under your eyes. Hence, it is a bit more complex and can cost you more compared to upper eyelid surgery.

In India, upper blepharoplasty can cost you somewhere around Rs.40,000 to Rs.80,000. Similarly, if you have to undergo lower blepharoplasty, it may range from Rs.50,000 to Rs.90,000.

Now, if you choose to get both upper and lower eyelid surgery together, then it can cost you somewhere between Rs.80,000 to Rs.1,50,000 or more. This price mainly consists of the following-

• Doctor consultation fees
• Operating room charges
• Anesthesia cost
• Aftercare or medicines

However, you must always talk to your doctor to get the exact price.

How Much is Blepharoplasty?

The price of blepharoplasty mostly depends on the type of blepharoplasty that you are undergoing. So, it will vary depending on whether you are having an upper eyelid surgery, a lower eyelid surgery, or both. Moreover, this cost can also depend on-

• The city or country where you are getting your surgery done.
• Your surgeon experience and his/her qualifications.
• The hospital or clinic setup.
• What kind of technique will be used for your surgery, like laser, stitches, or scarless?

Eyelid surgery in India, especially in big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore, can cost around Rs.40,000 to Rs.1,50,000.

You can also get some offers as some clinics provide special packages which include consultation, surgery, as well as follow-up visits. More importantly, if your eyelids are affecting your vision, then there are chances that this surgery can be covered by your insurance as well. But, remember to ask your surgeon the following questions regarding the cost of the surgery-

• What is included in the fee?
• Are there any hidden costs?
• Will I have to pay extra charges if something needs to be corrected later?

How Long Does Blepharoplasty Last?

You should rest assured that the results of blepharoplasty are very long-lasting. For upper blepharoplasty, you can expect the result to last for at least 10 to 15 years. However, in some cases, it can even last for much longer.

Usually, for lower blepharoplasty, you will get permanent results. It is because the fat under your eyes is either removed or repositioned. However, you must keep in mind that as you age your skin starts to loosen again over time. Besides, sun exposure, smoking, and unhealthy habits can also affect the results.

Now, if you want to make your results to last longer, then you must abide by the following-

• Wearing sunscreen around your eyes.
• Do not rub your eyes harshly.
• Try to get proper sleep and reduce stress in your life.
• Use eye creams that are recommended by your doctors.
• Go to your surgeon for regular checkups.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty surgery is usually very simple and quick. However, if you follow your doctor instructions diligently then it will become even smoother for you.

Right After Surgery

You can feel some swelling, bruising, or dryness around your eyes after surgery. There can also be some tightness, but it will go away in a few days. During this time, you may also have a little blurry vision because of the ointment and surgery.

First 1-2 Weeks

You will feel better after 1 week like most people. Your stitches may also be removed within 5 to 7 days. You might also be able to return to work or normal life in 7 to 10 days. However, it depends mostly on your healing power.

After 2-4 Weeks

Now, your eyelids will start to look more natural. You will be able to wear eye makeup again and any redness or puffiness will almost be gone.

Tips for Faster Recovery

You can follow these tips to improve your recovery-

• Use cold compresses as they help to reduce swelling.
• Keep your head raised while sleeping.
• Avoid lifting heavy weights, bending, or exercising for at least 2 weeks after your surgery.
• Remember to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from any dust and sun.
• Use your doctor eye drops or ointments properly and follow their instructions strictly.

You should keep in mind that you should let your doctor know if you feel any pain, infection, or vision problems after the surgery.

Who Performs Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a very delicate surgery. Hence, you must always get it done by a dry, qualified, and highly experienced surgeon. So, here are the medical professionals who can perform this type of surgery-

1. Plastic Surgeons

Plastic surgeons are specially trained in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries. Moreover, they also focus on improving function as well as appearance. Besides, these surgeons have plenty of experience with face and eye surgeries.

2. Oculoplastic Surgeons

The surgeons have even more experience as they are specially trained to perform plastic surgery around your eyes. Hence, they have very deep knowledge about eye anatomy. It is also the reason why they are preferred for blepharoplasty, especially in cases when there are medical or vision issues involved.

3. Facial Cosmetic Surgeons

There are some ENT (ear, nose, and throat) or dermatology specialists who can also perform eyelid surgery, as they have training in cosmetic surgery. However, you must make sure that they have experience with eyelid procedures before you choose them.

When it comes to choosing the right surgeon, you must keep the following criteria in mind-

• Firstly, check your doctor qualifications and certifications.
• Always look at the before-and-after photos of their previous blepharoplasty patients.
• Remember to read about their reviews and testimonials.
• Ask about how many eyelid surgeries they have done in the past.
• Most importantly, make sure that they are operating in a licensed clinic or hospital.

You should know that a good surgeon will explain the processes clearly to you. They will also answer all your questions and make sure that you feel comfortable before your surgery.
