Duration
2 hours
Dr. Ostad performs upper and lower blepharoplasty at his AAAASF-certified facility under local anaesthesia, typically completing in one to two hours. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat to restore an open, alert appearance; lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags and puffiness caused by herniated orbital fat. Patients return to work within days. Dr. Ostad's reconstructive Mohs background translates directly to the delicate periorbital anatomy, producing clean, symmetric outcomes with fine, well-concealed scars.

Upper blepharoplasty addresses redundant skin on the upper lid that can impair the visual field or create a tired, heavy appearance. The incision is placed within the natural eyelid crease, making scars virtually invisible once healed. Excess skin — and occasionally a small amount of herniated orbital fat — is conservatively removed, restoring the eyelid's natural contour. Upper blepharoplasty is frequently combined with a brow lift when brow descent is…
Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags caused by herniated orbital fat from the three lower eyelid fat compartments (medial, central, lateral). Dr. Ostad uses either a transcutaneous (external skin incision) or transconjunctival (hidden inside the lid) approach depending on the degree of skin excess and fat prolapse. The transconjunctival technique leaves no external scar and is preferred for younger patients with good skin tone who primarily have…
