What is
Blepharoplasty corrects structural eyelid changes — excess upper eyelid skin, herniated orbital fat — that non-surgical treatments cannot address. Performed under general anaesthesia or sedation as an outpatient procedure.
Removes drooping upper lid skin and reshapes fat pads when hooding impairs vision or creates a heavy, tired appearance not caused by brow descent.
Repositions or excises herniated orbital fat causing under-eye bags; incision below the lash line or transconjunctival (no external scar).
Volume loss, crow's feet, and brow descent require non-surgical approaches — covered on the peri-ocular rejuvenation page. Many patients combine both.

View Dr. Kotti's Surgeon ProfileBlepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects drooping upper eyelid skin and puffy bags below the eyes by removing or redistributing excess fat, skin, and muscle. It can address a tired or aged appearance around the eyes. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or sedation with local anaesthesia, typically on an outpatient basis.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid that may cause a hooded appearance or impair vision. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags — puffiness caused by herniated fat — and excess skin below the eyes. Both procedures can be performed together or separately depending on each patient's anatomy and goals, as assessed during consultation.
Good candidates are individuals bothered by drooping upper eyelids, excess skin around the eyes, or under-eye bags that have not responded to non-surgical treatments. Candidates should be in good general health with no active eye conditions. Individual suitability — including medical history and eye health — is assessed during a clinical consultation.
Recovery timelines depend on individual anatomy, the extent of the procedure, and healing response. A personalized post-operative protocol is provided during follow-up.
Visible improvements develop as swelling subsides; final outcomes depend on individual anatomy and healing response and are monitored during follow-up appointments.
Yes. Blepharoplasty is frequently combined with facelift surgery, brow lift, or midface lift for patients seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures allows a single anaesthesia and recovery period. The appropriate combination is assessed individually during the consultation based on each patient's anatomy and goals.
Blepharoplasty surgically corrects structural causes — excess eyelid skin, herniated fat, and skin laxity — that non-surgical treatments cannot address. Non-surgical approaches (botulinum toxin for crow's feet, fat grafting for volume loss, brow lift for brow descent) target different root causes and are covered on the peri-ocular rejuvenation page. The correct approach — surgical, non-surgical, or combined — is determined during consultation.
Lower blepharoplasty in Dubai targets herniated fat causing under-eye bags and excess lower eyelid skin. The incision is placed just below the lower lash line or, in a transconjunctival approach, inside the eyelid — leaving no visible external scar. The appropriate technique is determined during clinical assessment based on individual anatomy.
Treatment costs depend on surgical complexity, technique, facility standards, and individualized planning. An in-person clinical assessment is required for an accurate, personalized estimate.
