Procedure · Blepharoplasty

Each case appears on the pages of the procedure, surgeon and facility named here.

Blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin, and sometimes fat, on the upper or lower eyelids. A photograph shows the lids themselves, but not what was done beneath the skin, nor how the eyebrows, the forehead and the eyes' own shape contribute to the look.

What to look at in an eyelid before-and-after

Look at the upper lid first: is the fold visible and even, and does the lid sit clear of the lashes? Then compare the two eyes with each other, because some asymmetry is common before surgery and may remain afterwards. For the lower lids, look at the contour from the lid edge to the cheek and whether the lid still sits against the eye.

Check the position of the eyebrows in both photographs. A brow that sits lower on one day than another can make the upper lids look heavier or lighter without any change to the lids. Expression, eye openness and lighting alter the picture just as much.

Results vary between patients. Images should not be interpreted as a guarantee of a similar outcome.

One case is not a forecast

One person's result reflects their anatomy, their healing and the technique chosen for them. It is not evidence of what your own result would be — only an in-person assessment can tell you that.
