Eyelift surgery is the most common cosmetic eye surgery in Dubai. These procedures involve removing excess fat or sagging skin from the done. The surgery is performed on either the upper, lower, or both the eyelid surfaces.

Eyelift surgeries are relatively quick surgeries that ensure excellent results for the patient. These procedures aim to make an individual look less tired and more youthful. However, with any blepharoplasty procedure, there is minimal scarring that can be effectively covered by the natural fold of the eyelid.

3 Main Types of Eyelift Surgeries

Eyes are called the windows to one’s soul. As we age, our eyes also tend to look tired and old.  Some people may not get fine lines or wrinkles, but their eyes seem to age with years. So, people opt for cosmetic surgeries for their eyes.

One of the key alterations that an eyelift brings along with it is that it makes you look about ten years younger. A simple eye lift is known to dramatically revitalize the face, creating a younger-looking appearance.

This is the main reason eye surgery in Dubai is quite popular.

There are three categories of eye lift surgeries:

  •         Upper blepharoplasty
  •         Lower blepharoplasty
  •         Combination blepharoplasty

Let’s briefly overview each of them:

1.   Upper Blepharoplasty

This surgery addresses upper-eye drooping, puffiness, and wrinkling that makes you appear older and tired. And sometimes, even unintentionally, one might seem sad. Aging and sagging eyelids can diminish full vision as well. That’s why getting this procedure done becomes inevitable in some cases to improve vision.

In upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the surgeon removes the excess skin/fat or both, if need be, and gets the sagging eyelids rejuvenated by making tiny strategic incisions across the eyelid crease. The tiny eye muscles are tightened in the best manner possible, taking the patient’s needs into account.

This surgery is ideal for people with overhanging or baggy eyelids. This gives them a youthful, alert, and active look while maintaining the shape of your eye. And getting it from the best eye specialist in Dubai can guarantee 100% results.

  • Duration of Surgery: 1-2 hours
  • Recovery Period: 1-2 weeks
  • Length of effects: 8+ years

2.   Lower Blepharoplasty

As we grow older, age weakens the muscles under the eyes. With time, this makes the fat jut out more. Some people look permanently weary or tired, which makes their face look tired and older. Shadows and dark circles due to misplaced fat go hand-in-hand with bags. Another common lower eyelid issue, troughs, also called hallows, is created by fat that has gone lower into the cheek.

The results of a lower blepharoplasty are similar to that of upper blepharoplasty. However, the procedure is done under the eye and not on the top. Tiny incisions are made for shifting the fat deposits and then correct loose skin for a smoother and contoured look from the lower lash line down to the mid-face. This surgery gives the eyes a brighter and awake look.

Important note: You should know that with lower blepharoplasty, you cannot lessen or remove dark circles or dark pigmentation.

  • Duration of Surgery: 1-2 hours
  • Recovery Period: 10 days to 2 weeks
  • Length of effects: 8+ years

3.   Combination Blepharoplasty

Many people wish to get facial plastic surgery for both areas of the eye. Both the upper eyelid and the area below the eyes collect or lose the fat deposits as we grow older. Combination blepharoplasty addresses both sections of the eye to curate a more youthful and proportional appearance.

Microscopic incisions are hidden in the lid lines or eye creases to remove the excess and tighten the skin. The fat deposits are readjusted, and the muscles are re-contoured to give the face an overall refreshed look. Mostly combination eyelift is carried out in tandem with a brow lift, addressing the saggy skin or wrinkles above the eyes. And in this case, different techniques are used. A minute incision to the hairline is made to lift and even out the browline. The final result is balanced with the eyes.

This gives your face a refreshed look, making you look younger at least a decade from your age.

  • Duration of Surgery: 1-3 hours
  • Recovery Time: 10 days to 2 weeks
  • Length of effects: 8+ years
