What Is Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that focuses on improving the appearance of the eyelids. It addresses concerns such as excess skin, puffy under-eye bags, and drooping eyelids caused by aging, genetics, or other factors. The surgery involves removing excess fat, skin, and muscle from the eyelids to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the specific concerns of the patient. Eyelid surgery in Dubai is a highly effective procedure for enhancing the eyes and restoring a more vibrant, refreshed look.

Who Can Benefit from Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery is ideal for individuals who are experiencing excess skin, wrinkles, or puffy bags around the eyes, which are common signs of aging. Upper eyelid surgery is often sought by individuals with drooping eyelids that impair vision or cause a tired, aged look. Lower eyelid surgery is suitable for those who have under-eye bags or dark circles that make them appear older. Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery in Dubai are those in good overall health with realistic expectations and a desire to refresh their facial appearance. A consultation will determine the best approach for restoring your eyes’ natural beauty.
Upper Eyelid Surgery Explained
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, addressing drooping lids that can make the eyes appear heavy or tired. As we age, the skin on the upper eyelids loses elasticity, leading to sagging and wrinkles. This procedure lifts the upper eyelids, providing a more youthful and refreshed look. It can also help improve vision if sagging skin obstructs the field of view. The incisions are typically made in natural creases of the eyelids, minimizing visible scarring. Whether for aesthetic or functional reasons, upper eyelid surgery offers a lasting, natural improvement through eyelid surgery in Dubai.

Lower Eyelid Surgery Explained
Lower eyelid surgery addresses puffy under-eye bags and dark circles, which can make a person appear older or more fatigued. The procedure involves removing or repositioning fat from under the eyes and tightening the skin to reduce puffiness and smooth the lower eyelids. It is often performed in conjunction with upper eyelid surgery for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. The incisions for lower eyelid surgery are typically made just below the lower lash line or on the inside of the eyelid to avoid visible scarring. Lower eyelid surgery restores a refreshed, youthful appearance, making eyelid surgery in Dubai an effective solution for under-eye concerns.
Types of Blepharoplasty
There are two primary types of blepharoplasty: upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery, but they can be combined for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Upper blepharoplasty targets the excess skin and fat of the upper eyelids, addressing sagging or drooping that obstructs vision and creates an aged appearance. Lower blepharoplasty focuses on removing or repositioning fat beneath the eyes to reduce under-eye bags and dark circles. Additionally, transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a technique where the incision is made inside the eyelid, making it ideal for patients with minimal skin laxity. Eyelid surgery in Dubai offers a variety of techniques to suit your unique facial features and aesthetic goals.

Eyelid Surgery Before and After
Before and after photos of eyelid surgery typically show significant improvements in the appearance of the eyes. Before surgery, patients may have heavy, drooping eyelids, puffy under-eye bags, and deep wrinkles, giving them a tired or aged appearance. After the procedure, patients notice a fresher, more youthful look, with smoother eyelid contours, and reduced puffiness. The recovery process involves minimal downtime, with swelling and bruising subsiding in a few weeks. Full results are often visible within a few months, and scarring is typically discreet and fades over time. Eyelid surgery in Dubai provides long-lasting, natural results for a more vibrant, refreshed appearance.
How Eyelid Surgery Is Performed
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure. For upper eyelid surgery, the surgeon makes incisions along the natural creases of the eyelid to remove excess skin and fat, lifting the eyelid and improving the eye’s overall appearance. For lower eyelid surgery, the incision is made just below the lower lashes or on the inside of the eyelid to address under-eye bags and smooth the skin. The surgery typically lasts between 1-2 hours, and incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring. After the procedure, eyelid surgery in Dubai provides a rejuvenated, youthful appearance with lasting results.

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery
Recovery after eyelid surgery generally involves minimal discomfort, although patients may experience some swelling and bruising. Most patients are able to return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, though more strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 3-4 weeks. During the recovery period, it is important to follow post-operative instructions, which may include keeping the head elevated, applying cold compresses, and using prescribed eye drops or ointments to promote healing. Eyelid surgery in Dubai offers effective care, ensuring the recovery process is as smooth as possible, allowing patients to enjoy their refreshed, youthful look without long downtime.
Swelling and Bruising After Eyelid Surgery
Swelling and bruising are common after eyelid surgery, especially in the first few days following the procedure. These side effects occur as the body heals and usually begin to subside within 1-2 weeks. To help manage these symptoms, patients are often advised to apply cold compresses to the eyes and keep the head elevated while sleeping. It is also important to avoid rubbing the eyes or engaging in activities that may increase pressure on the eyelids. Over-the-counter medications may be prescribed to manage discomfort. The majority of swelling and bruising will resolve within a few weeks, and eyelid surgery in Dubai ensures a smooth, natural recovery.

Eyelid Surgery Scars and Healing
Eyelid surgery is designed to minimize visible scarring. Incisions are strategically placed in the natural creases of the eyelids, ensuring that scars are discreet and hardly noticeable once healed. For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are typically hidden along the eyelid’s natural fold. For lower eyelid surgery, incisions may be placed below the lower lashes or inside the eyelid for optimal concealment. Healing varies from patient to patient, but most will experience scars fading within several months. Following post-operative care instructions is essential for minimizing scarring. With eyelid surgery in Dubai, the result is a refreshed, youthful appearance without noticeable scars.

The price of eyelid surgery in Dubai varies based on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure and whether it involves upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both. The final amount depends on the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, and the clinic’s location. The total fee typically includes consultation, anesthesia, and post-operative care. During your initial consultation, you will receive a comprehensive breakdown of all associated costs, ensuring clear understanding. While financial considerations are important, it’s crucial to prioritize quality care, surgeon expertise, and patient safety when choosing a professional for eyelid surgery in Dubai.

Is Eyelid Surgery Safe
Eyelid surgery is generally considered safe when performed by a skilled, board-certified surgeon. As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, scarring, and anesthesia complications, but these are rare when proper surgical techniques are used. Pre-operative assessments are done to ensure the patient is in good health, and during the procedure, the surgeon follows strict sterile techniques to minimize risks. Following post-surgery care instructions helps ensure safe healing and minimizes complications. Eyelid surgery in Dubai is performed with the highest safety standards, ensuring patients achieve natural results with minimal risk.
Eyelid Surgery for Men and Women
Eyelid surgery is effective for both men and women who are looking to rejuvenate their eye area. For men, the procedure is often focused on removing excess skin and fat to enhance the masculine eye shape and address sagging eyelids that may give a tired appearance. For women, the goal is typically to restore youthful contours, reduce puffiness, and improve the overall symmetry of the face. Dr. Babak Hatami tailors each surgery to meet the specific needs of each patient, ensuring that the final results enhance the natural features.
