Home / Blepharoplasty Surgery
The eyes play an important role in facial appearance. However, excess skin, puffiness and changes around the eyelids can sometimes make a person look tired or older than they feel. Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that addresses selected concerns involving the upper or lower eyelids.
Dr. Ankit Aggarwal, a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon in Chandigarh, offers personalised surgical consultations to help patients understand their treatment options. The recommended approach depends on eyelid anatomy, skin condition, eye health and individual concerns.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat or other tissue around the eyelids when clinically appropriate. It may be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both.
Depending on the patient's condition, eyelid surgery may address excess upper eyelid skin, under-eye bags or certain changes in the contour of the eyelids. In some cases, excess upper eyelid skin can also affect the field of vision and require medical assessment.
Upper eyelid surgery addresses excess skin and tissue in the upper eyelid area. It may be considered when loose skin creates a heavy appearance or interferes with vision.
Lower eyelid surgery focuses on concerns such as under-eye bags, selected fat bulges and excess lower eyelid skin. The treatment approach depends on the patient's anatomy and the cause of the concern.
Blepharoplasty may be considered by individuals who:
Not everyone with puffy eyes or dark circles needs surgery. A consultation helps determine whether blepharoplasty or another treatment is appropriate.
The procedure is planned according to the area being treated and the patient's health. Depending on the surgical plan, incisions may be placed within the natural crease of the upper eyelid or in a less noticeable area near the lower eyelid.
Excess skin or fat may be removed or repositioned as required. Anaesthesia, surgical technique and the expected duration are discussed before the procedure.
Recovery varies from person to person. Swelling, bruising, tightness and temporary discomfort can occur during the initial healing period. Patients should follow instructions regarding eye care, medication, activity restrictions and follow-up visits.
The surgeon will explain when normal activities can be resumed and which symptoms require medical attention. The final appearance may take longer to settle as swelling gradually improves.
Dr. Ankit Aggarwal's practice focuses on personalised plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgical care. Patients considering blepharoplasty can discuss their concerns, expected outcomes, surgical options and recovery requirements during an individual consultation.
Yes. Blepharoplasty is the medical term for eyelid surgery that addresses selected concerns involving excess skin, fat or tissue around the eyelids.
Not necessarily. Dark circles can result from pigmentation, blood vessels, hollows, shadows or other causes. Blepharoplasty may help selected cases involving under-eye bags but does not address every cause of dark circles.
Recovery depends on the extent of surgery and individual healing. Swelling and bruising generally improve over the first few weeks, although complete healing and the final appearance can take longer.
No. Suitability depends on eye health, eyelid anatomy, general health and the patient's concerns. A clinical assessment is necessary before deciding on surgery.
If you are considering upper or lower eyelid surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ankit Aggarwal to discuss your concerns, treatment options and recovery expectations.
