Rejuvenate Your Eyes, Restore Your Youth
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to address the signs of aging around the eyes. Whether you're dealing with drooping upper eyelids, puffy bags under the eyes, or excess skin that makes you look tired, blepharoplasty offers a precise solution to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
This procedure removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids, improving both aesthetic concerns and, in some cases, vision obstruction caused by sagging upper eyelids. With minimal scarring hidden in natural eyelid creases, blepharoplasty delivers natural-looking results that can last for years, helping you look as vibrant as you feel.
At Alpha Aesthetics, Dr. Ali Atif combines surgical expertise with an artistic eye to create harmonious, natural results tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Our Blepharoplasty Procedures
Comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation solutions tailored to your needs
Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids that hood over the eyes. This procedure opens up the eyes, creates more visible eyelid space, and can significantly improve vision in cases where drooping skin obstructs sight.
- Removes hooding over upper lash line
- Improves peripheral vision if obstructed
- Creates more visible eyelid space for makeup
- Minimal visible scarring in natural crease
- Quick recovery (7-10 days)
- Long-lasting results (5-10+ years)
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty addresses puffy under-eye bags, wrinkles, and excess skin below the eyes. By removing or repositioning fat deposits and tightening the skin, this procedure eliminates the tired, aged appearance often caused by under-eye bags.
- Eliminates puffy bags under eyes
- Reduces appearance of dark circles
- Smooths wrinkled lower eyelid skin
- Creates refreshed, rested look
- Transconjunctival approach leaves no visible scars
- Natural, youthful eye contour
Combined Blepharoplasty
Combined blepharoplasty treats both upper and lower eyelids in a single procedure for comprehensive eye rejuvenation. This approach addresses all aging concerns around the eyes simultaneously, providing the most dramatic and harmonious transformation.
- Complete upper and lower eyelid rejuvenation
- Single surgery and recovery period
- Harmonious, balanced results
- Maximum anti-aging effect
- Cost-effective compared to separate procedures
- Comprehensive eye area transformation
Asian Blepharoplasty
Asian blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery) creates a natural upper eyelid crease for patients of Asian descent who have a monolid or minimal crease. This procedure enhances the eye appearance while respecting ethnic features and maintaining a natural look.
- Creates natural upper eyelid crease
- Maintains ethnic characteristics
- Customized crease height and shape
- Makes eyes appear larger and more defined
- Suture technique or incisional method available
- Preserves natural Asian beauty
Revision Blepharoplasty
Revision blepharoplasty corrects complications or unsatisfactory results from previous eyelid surgery. This complex procedure requires advanced surgical expertise to restore natural eyelid function and appearance, addressing issues like excessive skin removal, hollow appearance, or eyelid malposition.
- Corrects over-resection or hollow appearance
- Fixes eyelid malposition or asymmetry
- Restores natural eyelid function
- Addresses scar tissue complications
- Requires expert surgical technique
- Restores confidence after previous surgery
Non-Surgical Eye Rejuvenation
For patients not ready for surgery or with minimal concerns, non-surgical options include dermal fillers, Botox, laser resurfacing, and radiofrequency treatments. These minimally invasive alternatives address mild to moderate signs of aging with little to no downtime.
- No incisions or anesthesia required
- Minimal to zero downtime
- Treats hollowing, wrinkles, and crepey skin
- Immediate to gradual improvement
- Can be combined with surgical procedures
- Maintenance treatments extend results
Benefits of Blepharoplasty
Transform your appearance with these remarkable advantages
Youthful, Refreshed Appearance
Turn back the clock with dramatically younger-looking eyes. Blepharoplasty removes years from your face, restoring a bright, alert, and energetic appearance that reflects how you feel inside.
Improved Vision & Function
Upper blepharoplasty can restore peripheral vision obstructed by sagging eyelids. Many patients experience improved eyesight and easier daily activities like reading, driving, and working on computers.
Long-Lasting Results
Blepharoplasty results typically last 5-10 years or longer. While aging continues, most patients maintain a significantly more youthful appearance indefinitely after surgery.
Minimal Visible Scarring
Incisions are strategically placed in natural eyelid creases and folds, making scars virtually invisible once fully healed. No one will know you had surgery unless you tell them.
Quick Recovery Time
Most patients return to work and normal activities within 7-10 days. Bruising and swelling resolve quickly, and you'll be enjoying your new look before you know it.
Enhanced Self-Confidence
Feel more confident, attractive, and ready to face the world. Patients consistently report improved self-esteem and quality of life after blepharoplasty surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about blepharoplasty
Is blepharoplasty painful?
The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia (local with sedation or general), so you won't feel any pain during surgery. After surgery, most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising that can be easily managed with prescribed pain medication. Many patients describe the discomfort as similar to having tired eyes. Most pain subsides within 3-5 days, and over-the-counter pain relievers are often sufficient after the first few days.
How long does the procedure take?
Blepharoplasty typically takes 1-3 hours depending on whether upper, lower, or both eyelids are being treated. Upper blepharoplasty alone usually takes about 1-1.5 hours, while lower blepharoplasty takes 1.5-2 hours. Combined upper and lower surgery takes 2-3 hours. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you go home the same day. Most patients arrive at the surgical facility about an hour before their procedure and can leave 1-2 hours after surgery is completed.
When will I see results?
You'll notice improvement immediately after surgery, but initial swelling and bruising will obscure your final results. Most swelling and bruising subside within 1-2 weeks, at which point you'll see significant improvement. Your final results will become fully apparent after 3-6 months when all swelling has resolved, incisions have fully healed, and scars have faded to thin white lines. However, most patients feel comfortable in public without sunglasses within 10-14 days and can wear makeup to cover any remaining discoloration.
Will there be visible scars?
Dr. Atif strategically places incisions in natural eyelid creases and folds to minimize visible scarring. For upper blepharoplasty, the incision is hidden within the natural crease of the upper eyelid. For lower blepharoplasty, incisions can be placed just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), leaving no visible scar. Scars typically fade to thin white lines within 6-12 months and become virtually invisible. Most patients find that their scars are imperceptible even without makeup after full healing.
How long do results last?
Blepharoplasty results typically last 5-10 years or longer. The aging process continues after surgery, but most patients maintain a significantly more youthful appearance indefinitely. Factors affecting longevity include genetics, lifestyle habits (smoking, sun exposure), skin quality, and general health. Many patients never require revision surgery, while others may choose a minor touch-up procedure 10-15 years later. Proper skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle choices can help extend your results.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients return to work within 7-10 days after surgery, though some return as early as 5 days. You can resume light activities immediately but should avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and bending for 2-3 weeks. Bruising and swelling peak around day 2-3, then gradually improve. Sutures are typically removed at 5-7 days. You can wear makeup after about 7-10 days to camouflage any remaining bruising. Contact lenses can be worn after 2 weeks. Complete healing takes several months, but you'll look presentable much sooner. Following post-operative instructions carefully ensures the quickest, smoothest recovery.
