About the Procedure

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery that removes excess skin, fat, and tissue to restore a more youthful, rested, and open appearance — with precision that preserves your natural expression.

Drooping or puffy eyelids can make you look tired or older than you feel, and no amount of skincare fully corrects it. Blepharoplasty addresses the root cause with lasting, natural-looking results tailored to your anatomy.

Whether the concern is functional — impaired vision from drooping upper lids — or aesthetic, Dr. Sharabi approaches every case with the same meticulous care and commitment to preserving what makes your face distinctly yours.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Removes excess skin drooping over the upper lash line, restoring an open, refreshed look and improving peripheral vision when medically indicated.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Addresses under-eye puffiness, bags, and hollowing by repositioning or removing excess fat and tightening the lower lid for a smoother, more rested appearance.

Is Blepharoplasty Right for You?

  • Excess skin drooping over the upper eyelids or lash line
  • Puffiness or bags under the eyes that don't respond to rest or skincare
  • A tired or aged appearance that doesn't reflect how you feel
  • Impaired peripheral vision caused by drooping upper lids
  • Good general health and realistic expectations for natural results

Common Questions

Blepharoplasty FAQ

Will the results look natural?
This is Dr. Sharabi's primary commitment. She removes only what is necessary, preserving the natural shape and character of your eye. The goal is to look rested and refreshed — not operated on. She will show you what is realistically achievable during your consultation.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to desk work and light activity within seven to ten days. Bruising and swelling typically resolve within two to three weeks. Final results are visible at around three months. Dr. Sharabi provides detailed aftercare guidance throughout.
Can blepharoplasty improve my vision?
Yes — upper blepharoplasty can significantly improve peripheral vision when excess skin droops into the visual field. In these cases the procedure may also be partially covered by insurance. Dr. Sharabi will evaluate this during your consultation.
Are the results permanent?
Blepharoplasty produces long-lasting results — typically ten or more years. While the aging process continues naturally, most patients find they never need a repeat procedure. The improvements made are permanent in nature.
Is the procedure done under general anesthesia?
Most blepharoplasty procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation — safer than general anesthesia and allows for a faster recovery. Dr. Sharabi will discuss the most appropriate plan for your specific procedure during your consultation.
Why choose Dr. Sharabi for this procedure?
Dr. Sharabi brings fellowship-level reconstructive precision to every eyelid procedure, combined with an aesthetic philosophy rooted in subtlety and natural results. Her patients consistently describe results that look exactly like themselves — just rested.
