What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure performed by Dr. Chopra in Miami FL, to rejuvenate the eyes and restore a youthful appearance. This treatment targets droopy eyelids, sagging skin, under-eye bags, puffiness, and fine lines around the eyes. By carefully removing or repositioning excess tissue and fat, eyelid surgery brightens tired eyes, reduces hooded upper eyelids, and smooths the lower eyelid area while maintaining your natural eye shape and expression. Ideal for patients seeking refreshed, alert, and more youthful-looking eyes, blepharoplasty can enhance overall facial harmony and confidence.

Eyelid Surgery How it Works & Recovery

What to Expect During Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your plan. Dr. Chopra places incisions within the eyelid’s natural creases, then removes or repositions fat, skin, and tissue to achieve a smoother contour. Surgery typically takes one to two hours, and patients return home the same day under the care of a loved one.

Healing and Results After Eyelid Surgery

Recovery is generally straightforward. Some swelling and bruising are expected during the first week, and most patients resume normal routines within 10 to 14 days. Dr. Chopra provides detailed aftercare guidance, including instructions for eye protection, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits. As healing progresses, results become more defined, revealing smoother lids, a brighter gaze, and a refreshed overall appearance that can last for many years.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of eyelid surgery in Miami, varies depending on factors such as whether both lids are treated, the type of anesthesia used, and whether complementary procedures are performed. Dr. Chopra will provide a detailed estimate following your consultation. Financing options are available to make treatment achievable without compromise.
