Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a specialised procedure offered at City Dermatology Clinic Dubai. This treatment is designed to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids, helping to refresh and rejuvenate the eye area. It can significantly reduce puffiness, sagging, and under-eye bags, restoring a more youthful and alert appearance. For patients whose vision is affected by drooping eyelids, blepharoplasty also offers functional benefits by improving the visual field. With minimal downtime and a straightforward recovery, most people can return to normal activities within just a few days.

Key Information
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly effective procedure used to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. It is designed to remove sagging skin, reduce puffiness, and eliminate under-eye bags – enhancing your natural eye shape and creating a refreshed, youthful appearance. For some patients, this surgery can also address functional issues, such as obstructed vision due to excess eyelid skin.
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are healthy adults who wish to correct droopy or tired-looking eyelids. Whether you’re pursuing cosmetic improvement or seeking relief from vision impairment, this treatment can be tailored to your needs. A consultation with one of our plastic surgeons will help determine if this procedure is suitable for your specific concerns and facial anatomy.
At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, our expert team of internationally recognised plastic surgeons – such as Dr Parviz Sadigh and Dr Reza Alamouti – bring extensive experience in eyelid surgery and facial aesthetics. Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation, where your goals, skin condition, and anatomy are carefully assessed. From there, we create a fully customised surgical plan to ensure natural-looking results, minimal downtime, and long-term satisfaction.
At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, our expert team includes some of the most respected and in-demand plastic surgeons for eyelid surgery in the region.

If you’re seeking transformative eyelid surgery with trusted specialists in Dubai, you’re in the right place.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the ideal age for eyelid surgery, as the need for this procedure is more closely related to individual concerns and conditions rather than age itself. Typically, patients consider blepharoplasty from their mid-30s onwards when signs of aging begin to prominently affect the eye area. However, genetic factors can lead some individuals to seek this surgery earlier. The key consideration is not age, but rather whether drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, or other concerns are impacting your appearance or vision significantly. A consultation with a specialist will help determine if eyelid surgery is appropriate for you, based on your specific needs and conditions.
The recovery time from eyelid surgery varies, but most patients find they can return to work and most normal activities within 10 to 14 days. This timeline can be shorter for those who have less physically demanding jobs or who can work from home. It’s important to note that while you may feel well enough to return to work, some bruising and swelling may still be visible. Using makeup to conceal any discoloration is usually an option after the first week. Following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions closely can help speed up your recovery. It’s crucial to allow your body the time it needs to heal properly to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Blepharoplasty is performed with a keen focus on minimizing visible scarring. Incisions are strategically placed in the natural creases of the eyelids or, in the case of lower eyelid surgery, just below the lash line or inside the eyelid. These locations help ensure that any scarring is well-concealed. Over time, scars from the incisions typically fade significantly and become barely noticeable. Proper care during the healing process, including following all aftercare instructions and protecting the area from excessive sun exposure, is crucial for minimizing scarring. Your surgeon will discuss scar care and what to expect regarding the healing of incisions during your consultation and follow-up appointments.
As with any surgical procedure, eyelid surgery carries certain risks, though serious complications are rare. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, dry eyes, difficulty closing your eyes, temporary blurred or impaired vision, and, in very rare cases, vision loss. There’s also the possibility of asymmetry in healing or results. A thorough pre-operative evaluation and choosing a skilled, experienced surgeon can significantly minimize these risks. It’s important to discuss all potential risks and concerns with your surgeon before the procedure to make an informed decision.
While the majority of patients are satisfied with their blepharoplasty outcomes, a small number may seek revision surgery. Reasons for revision can include dissatisfaction with the initial results, asymmetry, or changes in the skin and tissue due to the natural aging process. The need for revision surgery is relatively rare and can often be avoided by working with an experienced surgeon who understands your goals and sets realistic expectations for the procedure. If revision surgery is considered, it’s usually recommended to wait until the healing process from the first surgery is complete, typically a year.
