Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes. It targets issues such as puffiness, sagging skin, or tired-looking eyes by carefully removing excess fat, skin, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. At Institute Cosmetique, we specialize in this transformative procedure, which not only enhances facial aesthetics but also serves functional purposes. For individuals experiencing droopy eyelids that obstruct their field of vision, blepharoplasty can significantly improve sight by lifting the eyelids, offering both a cosmetic and practical solution. Whether you seek to restore a youthful, vibrant look or address vision impairment caused by eyelid sagging, our expert surgeons at Institute Cosmetique are dedicated to delivering exceptional results tailored to your unique needs.
With time, the skin around the eyelids loses elasticity, causing them to sag and droop. This natural aging process often results from loose skin and weakened eyelid muscles, known as ptosis. Factors like frequent eye rubbing due to allergies or environmental stressors can worsen the condition, making the eyelids among the first areas to show signs of aging.In rare cases, droopy eyelids can be present from birth due to underlying medical conditions. At Institute Cosmetique, we specialize in addressing these concerns, helping restore a youthful appearance and, when necessary, improving vision.

Puffy, baggy lower lids are caused by fat around the eyeball shifting forward over time. This usually occurs as a result of the natural aging process, inheritance, or excessive rubbing of the eyes. The most common complaints associated with puffy, baggy lower lids are: Looking tired or worn down Unflattering appearance Lower eyelid fat bags can be removed with lower eyelid Blepharoplasty. In this surgery the extra fat is removed through a very fine and small cut in the lower eyelid skin or a transconjunctival approach used only by our cosmetic surgeons in Pakistan. A transconjunctival blepharoplasty is performed by removing the fat from the inside of the lower lid rather than cutting through the outside skin. The transconjunctival approach eliminates the scar associated with a through-the-skin approach as there are no cuts on the skin – so it is truly a scar-less surgery. We use the world’s best radiofrequency device Ellman to perform lower lid blepharoplasty. This is the latest device used by some of the finest surgeons at leading cosmetic surgery centers around the globe.
In most cases, the skin of the lower lid snaps back into place after the fat is removed. However, in some cases, excess skin needs to be removed and the lid needs to be tightened. This can be achieved either with surgery or by using our state-of-the-art Mosaic Laser without any downtime. Both the upper and lower lid blepharoplasties are relatively painless and are performed using local anesthesia in our out-patient surgery center. No hospitalization is required and no general anesthesia is needed. Normal functions are not limited, there are no bandages placed over the eyes, and vision is not affected. Most importantly, patients are able to return to work and their normal activities within a couple of days following the surgery!
