With Dr. Mark Kohout
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at addressing the appearance of the eyelids. This surgery can involve the removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids to address eyelid ptosis, puffiness, and bags under the eyes. Blepharoplasty can modify facial aesthetics and may also alleviate vision impairment in cases where excess skin obstructs the field of view.
Who May Benefit

Those experiencing vision impairment due to eyelid ptosis.

Your Journey Awaits
How is the procedure performed?
Consultation and Assessment
The surgeon evaluates the patient's eyelids and discusses their medical history and aesthetic goals to create a personalised surgical plan.
Anaesthesia Administration
On the surgery day, the patient receives either local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia for patient comfort and safety during the procedure.
Incision and Tissue Removal
The surgeon makes incisions along the eyelid creases, removes excess skin and fat, and then closes the incisions with sutures to address the eyelid's appearance.

- Swelling and bruising typically persist for about one week after the procedure.
- Cold compresses can be applied to reduce discomfort and promote healing.
- Follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring recovery and suture removal.

What are the Risks?
Blepharoplasty carries several risks, including infection, poor scarring, and dry eyes, which may occur during recovery. Some patients might experience temporary vision changes or asymmetry in eyelid appearance after the procedure. Additionally, reactions to anaesthesia, while uncommon, are possible. It’s essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon so you are fully informed before undergoing the surgery.

What are the Costs?
The cost of blepharoplasty surgery varies based on factors such as the surgeon’s experience, facility fees, and anaesthesia costs.
