Eyelid Surgery Before and After: Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty Results

Upper Blepharoplasty Results

What upper eyelid surgery achieves:

• Removes hooding that makes eyes look heavy and tired
• Opens up the eye area for a more alert appearance
• Can improve peripheral vision if skin was blocking sight
• Creates a visible eyelid crease
• Scar hidden in the natural eyelid fold
• Results last 7-10+ years

Lower Blepharoplasty Results

What under-eye surgery achieves:

• Eliminates puffy under-eye bags
• Smooths the under-eye hollows
• Reduces dark circles caused by shadowing
• Creates a refreshed, well-rested look
• Scar hidden below lash line or inside eyelid
• Results last 10-15+ years

Combined Upper + Lower Results

The full transformation:

• Most dramatic eye rejuvenation possible
• Looks 5-10 years younger around the eyes
• More open, alert, and friendly expression
• Often combined with brow lift for complete upper face rejuvenation
• One recovery period for all improvements

Realistic Limitations

What eyelid surgery cannot fix:

• Cannot eliminate all fine wrinkles (Botox helps)
• Cannot change eye shape significantly
• Cannot fix dark circles from pigmentation (only shadowing)
• Crow's feet require Botox, not surgery
• Sunken eyes may need filler, not surgery

Conclusion

Eyelid surgery provides one of the most noticeable anti-aging improvements with minimal scarring. The refreshed eye area makes the whole face look younger.
