Have you been thinking about getting a blepharoplasty surgery? If so, you’re not alone. We will discuss what it entails, how much it costs and more importantly what to expect after your procedure has been performed and what recovery entails.

A blepharoplasty (also known as an upper or lower eyelid lift) reshapes the skin around your eyes by removing excess tissue from above or below the eye.

What is a Blepharoplasty?

• Eyelid surgery refers to a surgical procedure that improves the shape of the eyelids and reduces sagging eyelid skin.
• An Upper Blepharoplasty removes the excess or stretched skin of the upper eyelid to reduce a puffy, ‘hooded’ eyelid appearance.
• A Lower Blepharoplasty can help surgically reduce under-eye ‘bags’ and provide improvements to under-eye wrinkles, lines and puffiness.

• Refreshed, more youthful eye appearance
• Reduced under-eye bags
• Baggy, puffy skin below your eyes can give you a tired, fatigued appearance.
• Fewer visible fine lines
• Improved vision
• Confidence from physical improvements achieved from Blepharoplasty Surgery

Eyelid surgery incurs risks and complications like all invasive surgery. Dr Kumar will make you aware of potential complications at your consultation. This may include general anaesthesia, bleeding or infection, wound healing, scarring, redness, itchiness and numbness. Always stay informed, ask questions, do not smoke before or after your procedure and read and understand your risks.

This complete guide to Eyelid Surgery covers everything you need to know about this procedure.

The cost of surgery depends on a number of factors, such as your Surgeon’s level of expertise and the condition of your eyelid area meaning the price for eyelid surgery in Melbourne can vary quite a lot. We take a look at your specific needs in great detail at your consultation.

We also provide information on Blepharoplasty and Medicare Rebates, Private Health Insurance and different methods of payment. You may also want to apply to use your Super.

Not all Surgeons have the same experience or intensive training and qualifications. Be sure you learn the differences between a Plastic Surgeon and a Cosmetic Surgeon, you may be surprised.

Choosing a Specialist Plastic Surgeon means you are choosing an accredited recognised plastic surgeon that only performs surgery in an accredited hospital. Look for members of FRACS, ASPS, ASAPS or ISAPS as some of the qualifications of your Plastic Surgeon. You can check Melbourne, Perth and Sydney Plastic Surgeons credentials at AHRPA and FRACS.
