Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Dr Afrooz performs upper and lower blepharoplasty, as well as combined procedures, to address drooping skin, excess fat, and puffiness around the eyes. Incisions are placed within the natural eyelid fold for minimal visible scarring. Patients typically resume normal activities within seven to ten days, with bruising and swelling resolving within about one month.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is one of the most popular facial plastic surgery procedures for patients seeking a refreshed, more alert appearance without the more extensive downtime of a full facelift. Dr Paul Afrooz performs both upper and lower blepharoplasty from his Coral Gables, Miami clinic, with incisions placed within the natural eyelid crease to minimise visible scarring. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and, where present, herniated fat pads from the upper eyelid. Heavy or drooping upper lids can sometimes impair peripheral vision, making the procedure functional as well as cosmetic. Lower blepharoplasty addresses the puffiness and under-eye bags caused by fat prolapse below the lower lid, as well as loose skin contributing to a tired appearance. Both procedures can be performed together at the same surgical session. The procedure is performed at Dr Afrooz's accredited surgical facility in Coral Gables under appropriate anaesthesia. Most patients experience seven to ten days of downtime before resuming normal activities; bruising and swelling typically resolve within about one month. The final, settled result is visible once all residual swelling has subsided. Blepharoplasty is suitable for patients bothered by heaviness or puffiness around the eyes — concerns that facelift procedures do not specifically address. For patients considering multiple facial procedures, Dr Afrooz can discuss whether combining blepharoplasty with a facelift or brow lift is appropriate during a consultation. The $250 consultation fee is credited toward any booked procedure. Virtual consultations are available for patients travelling from across Florida or internationally to the Miami and South Florida area. CareCredit financing and major credit cards are accepted.
