Blepharoplasty at Brandeis Clinic removes excess skin and fat deposits from the upper and/or lower eyelids that accumulate with age, causing hooded lids, a tired appearance, and in advanced cases a narrowing of the visual field. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis — patients arrive, undergo surgery lasting 40–90 minutes depending on the combination, and leave the same day. Upper-lid work uses incisions in the natural eyelid crease; lower-lid work removes or repositions the fat pads responsible for under-eye bags. Fine cosmetic sutures are removed after one week. Most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days once bruising and swelling resolve.
