Your eyes are often the first feature people notice, and they play a crucial role in expressing emotion and conveying your personality. However, with time, aging, sun exposure, genetics, and even lifestyle factors can cause the delicate skin around your eyes to sag, creating a tired, aged, or even sad appearance. Excess skin on the upper eyelids can also obstruct your vision, while puffy bags and dark circles under the eyes can leave you looking perpetually fatigued.
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a sophisticated and highly effective procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes, restoring a more alert, refreshed look. This procedure addresses specific concerns on the upper and/or lower eyelids by meticulously removing excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle, as well as repositioning fat to create a smoother contour. This surgery can significantly improve tired, droopy, or puffy eyelids, creating a fresher, more youthful appearance.
Dr. Kunal Sayani, a renowned aesthetic surgeon in Mumbai, understands the intricate anatomy of the eyelids and the profound impact a subtle change can have on your entire facial appearance. He approaches blepharoplasty with a meticulous eye for detail and an artistic sensibility, aiming to achieve results that are natural-looking, harmonious with your other facial features, and avoid an "overdone" or "surprised" look. During your initial consultation, Dr. Kunal Sayani will thoroughly assess your eyelids, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if blepharoplasty, or a combination of procedures like a brow lift, is the best solution for you. He is committed to providing personalized care that restores your bright, vibrant gaze.

Recovery & Aftercare for Blepharoplasty with Dr. Kunal Sayani
Following your blepharoplasty with Dr. Kunal Sayani, a smooth and successful recovery is greatly influenced by adhering closely to the provided post-operative instructions. While individual healing varies, here's a detailed guide to what you can generally expect.
Recovery & Aftercare (Post-Op Instructions)
Immediately After Surgery (First 24-72 Hours)
- Discomfort: Mild discomfort, tightness, or dryness/irritation in eyes, managed with prescribed pain medication.
- Swelling and Bruising: Significant swelling and bruising around eyes, resembling 'black eyes,' which is normal.
- Cold Compresses: Apply cold compresses (e.g., frozen peas wrapped in a soft cloth) consistently for 48-72 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
- Head Elevation: Keep head elevated, even while sleeping, for the first few days using extra pillows or a recliner to reduce swelling.
- Eye Drops/Ointment: Use prescribed lubricating eye drops or ointment as directed to prevent dryness and protect eyes.
- Blurred Vision: Temporary blurry vision due to ointment or swelling, usually resolving quickly.
- Avoid Strain: Limit reading, computer use, and TV for the first few days to rest eyes.
- No Rubbing: Absolutely avoid rubbing or putting pressure on eyes.
The First Week (Days 3-7)
- Suture Removal: External sutures (common for upper eyelids and external lower eyelids) typically removed by Dr. Kunal Sayani around day 5-7, a quick and generally painless process.
- Bruising Fades: Bruising transitions from purple/black to yellowish-green, indicating resolution.
- Swelling Reduces: Noticeable swelling persists but begins to subside significantly.
- Gentle Cleaning: Follow instructions to gently clean eyelids and incisions with saline solution or mild cleanser.
- No Makeup/Contact Lenses: Avoid eye makeup and contact lenses for 1-2 weeks, or until cleared by Dr. Kunal Sayani.
- Activity: Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or anything raising blood pressure; light walking encouraged to promote circulation.
Weeks 2-4
- Significant Improvement: Most visible bruising fades, and majority of swelling resolves, revealing initial surgery results.
- Return to Work/Social Activities: Many patients return to work and social activities within 10-14 days, though some residual swelling may be noticeable.
- Gradual Activity: Reintroduce light exercise as cleared by Dr. Kunal Sayani, avoiding strenuous activities for 3-4 weeks.
- Sun Protection: Protect eyelid skin from direct sun exposure to prevent prolonged swelling and scar discoloration, using dark sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
Months 1-6
- Swelling Continues to Diminish: Subtle swelling, particularly in lower eyelids and near lash line, may persist for months; final results apparent in 3-6 months.
- Scar Maturation: External incision lines soften and fade, becoming very inconspicuous.
- Full Activity: Resume all normal activities, including vigorous exercise, by 6-8 weeks with Dr. Kunal Sayani's clearance.
Long-Term Considerations
- Patience is Key: Healing is gradual, with final refined appearance emerging over time.
- Maintenance: Blepharoplasty results are long-lasting, but aging continues; healthy lifestyle and skincare prolong results.
- Follow-Up: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Kunal Sayani to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

Risks & Safety
Blepharoplasty, when performed by a highly skilled and experienced aesthetic surgeon like Dr. Kunal Sayani, is generally a safe and effective procedure. However, like any surgical intervention, it carries certain inherent risks and potential complications. It is crucial to be fully informed about these before proceeding with the surgery.
- Anesthesia Risks: Allergic reactions, nausea, or rare serious cardiac/respiratory complications, minimized by pre-operative evaluation and qualified anesthesiologist.
- Bleeding (Hematoma): Minor bruising and bleeding normal; hematoma may require drainage; retrobulbar hematoma (behind eye) is extremely rare but serious, potentially impacting vision.
- Infection: Rare due to sterile techniques and post-operative care, possibly prevented with antibiotics.
- Poor Wound Healing or Scarring: Issues with healing despite meticulous incisions; visible scars, usually subtle, are permanent.
- Dry Eyes: Temporary dryness or irritation common; prolonged or worsened in patients with pre-existing dry eye syndrome, assessed pre-operatively.
- Difficulty Closing Eyes (Lagophthalmos): Rare inability to fully close eyelids due to excessive skin removal, usually temporary from swelling, but may require drops or revision surgery.
- Ectropion (Lower Eyelid Pulling Downward): Rare lower eyelid pull exposing white of eye, causing irritation and aesthetic concerns, possibly requiring corrective surgery.
- Asymmetry: Minor differences in eye appearance may occur despite efforts for symmetry, as perfect symmetry is not always achievable.
- Numbness or Altered Sensation: Temporary or rare permanent numbness in eyelids due to nerve irritation or damage.
- Blurred or Double Vision: Temporary due to swelling or ointment; permanent vision changes extremely rare.
- Milia: Small white cysts along incision lines, usually easily treated.

- Need for Revision Surgery: Secondary procedure may be needed to correct imperfections or complications after sufficient healing.
