What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a highly popular procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids. It corrects:

• Droopy upper eyelids that make you look tired or older

• Puffy lower lids and under-eye bags

• Hooded eyelids that may block vision

Types of Blepharoplasty:

• Upper Eyelid Surgery – Lifts sagging eyelids

• Lower Eyelid Surgery – Reduces puffiness and bags

• Combined Eyelid Surgery – Both upper & lower lids

At Rao Aesthetics, we specialise in achieving natural-looking results that open up the eyes, reduce puffiness, and restore a rested, vibrant look.

Who Can Benefit from Blepharoplasty?

You may consider eyelid surgery if you have:

• Drooping upper eyelids that affect vision or appearance

• Puffiness or bags under the eyes

• Loose, sagging skin around the eyes

• A tired or aged appearance despite feeling energetic

Many men and women in India choose blepharoplasty to rejuvenate their facial appearance and boost confidence.
