Have you recently been asked whether you’re okay? You appear worn out, but you’re feeling fine? This is a common query for patients who are getting close to having eyelid surgery.
By rejuvenating the eye region, eyelid surgery will make you look more attentive, refreshed, and even joyful! And I promise that you will be pleased with the way you appear following this procedure.
Both the upper and lower eyelids may be treated, or only the upper eyelids.
Many patients get little anesthesia for the upper eyelid operation, which speeds up their recovery and enables them to return to work in less than a week.
To properly identify the issue, further medical care is required for the lower eyelid area; occasionally, there is too much fat, too much skin, or possibly neither. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is knowledgeable in these fields is therefore essential.

Eyelid Surgery In Dubai
Eyelid Surgery in Dubai is a cosmetic and functional procedure, also known as blepharoplasty, that removes excess skin, fat, and loose muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to create a more youthful, refreshed, and alert appearance while, in some cases, improving vision affected by drooping eyelids.
What Is The Aim Of Blepharoplasty Surgery?
To diminish the visible signs of eyelid aging.
An upper eyelid blepharoplasty corrects excess skin and fat of the upper eyelid, as well as repositions a prolapsed lacrimal (tear production) gland. This results in a more youthful and less prominent upper eyelid contour.
A lower eyelid blepharoplasty corrects excess skin, surplus fat, and the tear trough, and also provides support to the lower eyelid. This results in a more youthful, less prominent lower eyelid contour with a smoother tear trough and enhanced eyelid support.
It is recommended that you bring recent photographs of yourself to your consultation with Dr. Perfect Celebrity to facilitate a discussion of your goals and serve as a reference.
How Long Will The Results Last?
As we age, our faces lose volume in terms of bony support and soft tissues. Furthermore, the persistent influence of gravity is present.
These are some of the factors responsible for the characteristic manifestations of eyelid aging.
The outcomes of a blepharoplasty will endure over time; however, the aforementioned factors will continue to exert an aging influence on the appearance of the eyelids, which must be taken into account. This effect differs among patients and can be challenging to forecast; therefore, individual results may vary over time.
The most enduring results of facial rejuvenation are frequently observed in patients who have undergone combination therapies.
Combination therapies and more extensive surgical procedures entail a longer recovery period; however, they offer more durable results.
What Happens On The Day Of Surgery?
Before the day of surgery, you will be provided with the following information, and it is essential to be familiar with these details in advance:
- Surgical date, precise arrival time, and reporting location
- You will be unable to wear contact lenses following your surgery; please bring your spectacles to the hospital.
- Preoperative instructions regarding food, beverages, and medications (refrain from taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamins, or homeopathic remedies, as these may elevate the risk of bleeding).
- Arrange transportation to accompany you from the hospital on the day of discharge if you are not driving. If conducted under local anaesthesia, it is considered safe to proceed.
- Please provide the contact information of friends or family members.
- To arrange toiletries, sleepwear (if staying overnight), and an appropriate change of clothing
- Your record of medications and allergies (if known)
- The specifics of your individual surgical procedure, postoperative recovery information, and follow-up schedule.
On the day of the procedure, a nurse will register your arrival, verify all your information, and assist you in changing into a surgical gown.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity will meet with you before your surgery to review all relevant details, including the consent forms, and to perform the necessary surgical markings. Multiple identification verifications and procedural confirmations will be conducted before your operation to ensure safety remains the highest priority.
Following your surgery, Dr. Perfect Celebrity will inform your friends or family that the procedure has been completed, thereby reassuring them. Depending on the procedure, he will meet with you post-operatively to discuss the details.
Once you are feeling well enough, the team will proceed with your discharge as scheduled that morning. All medications and corresponding instructions will be provided to you upon discharge.
How Long Will The Surgery Take?
If performed independently, the procedure typically requires approximately ninety minutes for either upper or lower blepharoplasty. This varies to some extent and is contingent upon the complexity of the specific case.
This does not encompass the duration of anesthesia. Overall, the entire process may take a longer duration.
Will The Procedure Be Painful?
One of the main objectives of any procedure conducted by Dr. Perfect Celebrity is to ensure a pain-free experience.
A long-acting local anesthetic agent is administered at the conclusion of the procedure within the wound to ensure your comfort.
Regarding recovery, there may be some tenderness at the surgical site, along with mild discomfort and swelling in the regions surrounding the eyes. Bruising may be present, extending around both eyes.
You may also encounter a new sensation of tightness in the eyelid area, increased light sensitivity, and tearing eyes.

What Is The Recovery Period?
This is a minor procedure, and the recovery period is one week. For the initial two days, it is recommended to use ice packs with caution.
An antibiotic ointment and eye drops will be prescribed for you to use during the first seven days.
During this period, you are permitted to fully mobilize and are advised to walk around. Additionally, it is recommended that you sleep with three to four pillows to elevate your head, thereby further minimizing swelling.
You should refrain from bending over, engaging in strenuous activities, or lifting heavy objects for a period of two weeks.
Contact lenses may be worn after a period of two weeks.
What Should I Consider When Recovering From The Procedure?
All stitches are removed after one week; however, the eyelid area is highly delicate, and bruising and swelling may persist for two weeks or longer.
A minor overcorrection is consistently applied, and as a result, your final outcomes are typically observable at six weeks.
The ultimate appearance of your scars will be evident at 17 months.
How Should I Prepare For Eyelid Surgery?
To adequately prepare for a blepharoplasty procedure, your ophthalmologist (an eye care specialist) or oculoplastic surgeon may request that you:
- Get a medical evaluation or lab testing done.
- Quit smoking.
- Modify your existing medications or initiate the use of specific medications.
- Discontinue the use of anti-inflammatory medications, aspirin, blood thinners, multivitamins, and herbal supplements, as they may all elevate your risk of bleeding.
You will need to make arrangements for a trusted family member or friend to escort you home following the surgery. They will also be required to remain with you during the first night following the procedure.
What Happens During A Blepharoplasty Procedure?
Depending on your objectives and your surgeon’s recommendation, blepharoplasty may encompass either the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both.
Upper Blepharoplasty
During an upper eyelid surgery in Dubai, your surgeon will create incisions within the natural crease of your upper eyelid. These incisions will remain concealed when your eyes are open. Your surgeon will excise surplus skin and protruding fat, followed by the closure of the incisions.
Lower Blepharoplasty
During a lower eyelid surgery in Dubai, your surgeon will create an incision immediately beneath the lower eyelash line. They will excise surplus skin from your lower eyelid via this incision. They may also utilize an incision concealed within the lower eyelid (transconjunctival incision) to address lower eyelid concerns and to redistribute or excise excess fat.
What Happens After A Blepharoplasty Procedure?
A stitch will be placed in each of your upper eyelids and will remain for approximately one week. The lower eyelids do not require sutures if the incisions are performed on the internal surface of the lids. Swelling and bruising are commonly observed in the upper and lower eyelids. Anticipate remaining at home and restricting your activities for several days following surgery to facilitate proper healing of your eyelids.
