At a glance
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that refines the upper or lower eyelids, removing excess skin and softening a tired or heavy look. It is carried out in a clinical setting by an experienced doctor, with careful planning to keep results natural. A detailed consultation covers your goals, the procedure, and recovery, so you feel informed and comfortable before deciding.

Before your visit
Ideal for
- Heavy or hooded upper eyelids
- Loose skin on the lids
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
Please note
If you have an eye condition or a health problem, it can mean waiting, a further check or another treatment, and your doctor will tell you which. Please also set aside time for recovery.
To prepare
- Tell your doctor everything you take, including blood-thinning supplements, and please stop nothing unless they ask you to.
- Let your doctor know about smoking, dry eyes, previous eye surgery, allergies and any other medical condition.
Eyes that look more rested
If your upper lids feel heavy, or the skin beneath your eyes has started to puff out, this surgery can help your eyes look less tired.
Your doctor takes away or repositions the loose skin, the pads of fat and sometimes the muscle that weigh down the upper lid or puff out beneath the eye.
People come to us for different reasons. For some it is how their eyes look, and for others a heavy upper lid gets in the way of comfort and sight.
Whatever brings you here, your doctor plans for a result that fits the balance of your face and does not look overdone.
On the day
Your first visit is a conversation. Your doctor listens to what you would like to change and asks about your health, then examines each lid closely.
If surgery is right for you, they talk you through the approach, then the recovery and its risks, so you have the whole picture before you decide.

Results
Results fromAs the swelling settles
In the early weeks, expect some swelling and bruising, and your lids may feel tight or dry for a while. This settles over a few weeks, and your result shows as it does.
The result lasts a long time, though your face goes on ageing. Results vary, and your doctor will tell you what to expect for your eyes.
Questions people ask
Tell your doctor which part bothers you most, and they will listen. They recommend upper, lower or full blepharoplasty only if it is right for your eyes.
That depends on your treatment plan and what is right for you. Your doctor will go through the options with you at the consultation.
Swelling and bruising usually settle within a few weeks, though this varies from person to person and with the procedure. Your doctor will tell you how much downtime to expect when you meet.
Send us a message and we will confirm the clinic and the time for you. When you book your consultation or a follow-up, ask for our driver from Kuta, Legian, Seminyak or Kerobokan.
Complications are uncommon. They include dry eyes, infection and lids that heal unevenly, and your doctor talks you through each of them before you decide.
