Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty at Eden Clinic is designed to restore a natural, rested appearance by treating loose skin and puffiness around the eyes.

Eyes carry emotion, energy and expression. Over time, that can be hidden behind puffiness, heaviness or tiredness. Blepharoplasty gives you back your natural eye shape, restores symmetry and helps you look more refreshed and alert without changing who you are.

01

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove or reposition excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. It is commonly used to treat puffiness, sagging or drooping around the eyes that can make you appear tired, older or less alert.

At Eden Clinic, the procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic, meaning there is no need for a general anaesthetic or overnight hospital stay. The treatment lasts between 45 and 90 minutes, and most patients are able to return home the same day.

There are two main types of blepharoplasty:

  • Upper eyelid surgery: Removes loose or sagging skin that can create folds or impair vision

  • Lower eyelid surgery: Targets under-eye bags, puffiness or fine lines by removing or redistributing fat

For suitable patients, both upper and lower blepharoplasty can be performed together as a combined procedure. The results are subtle but noticeable – your eyes will appear brighter, more open and better defined, without changing your natural expression.

02

Who is Blepharoplasty for?

You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if you experience:

  • Puffiness or heaviness in the upper eyelids

  • Loose or sagging skin that affects the shape of the eyes

  • Under-eye bags or fat deposits that do not improve with skincare

  • Tired or aged appearance around the eyes despite feeling well-rested

  • Vision affected by skin folds or hooded eyelids

At Eden Clinic, blepharoplasty is available to men and women aged 18 and over who are in good general health. Most of our patients choose the procedure to restore balance, lift and light to their eyes – not to change their identity, but to bring back clarity and confidence to the way they look.

We offer free virtual consultations with a cosmetic doctor to assess your concerns and goals, and to confirm if blepharoplasty is the best option for you.

03

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty offers both cosmetic and functional benefits. Results typically include:

  • A more refreshed and open appearance around the eyes

  • Smoother contours beneath the eyes

  • Reduction in upper eyelid hooding

  • Improved symmetry between both eyes

  • Greater confidence in daily life and photos

  • In some cases, improved vision if skin was affecting your field of sight

Most patients see visible improvements within the first two weeks, with final results taking shape around six weeks after surgery.

04

What to Expect on the Day

The procedure takes place in our Dublin clinic under local anaesthetic. You will remain awake but comfortable throughout.

Steps include:

  1. A detailed consultation with your doctor to mark and prepare the treatment areas

  2. A small injection of local anaesthetic

  3. Removal or repositioning of excess skin or fat

  4. Careful closure of incisions with fine sutures

You will be monitored for a short time post-treatment, then discharged the same day with aftercare instructions.

05

Recovery Timeline

In the first 48 hours, you may notice mild swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is completely normal and can be managed with cold compresses and rest. You will be provided with tailored aftercare instructions and advice to help minimise downtime.

Most patients feel well enough to return to light activity or work between three and five days after treatment, depending on individual healing speed.

By the end of the second week, any remaining sutures are typically removed and swelling has reduced significantly. From this point onward, your results will begin to take clearer shape.

Between weeks three and six, you can expect a steady refinement of your appearance. The eyes will look more open, refreshed and balanced. Final results are usually visible by the six week mark.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Most patients are back to light activities within 3 to 5 days, and return to work within a week. Bruising and swelling reduce significantly over the first two weeks, with full results visible by six weeks.

Any incisions made are hidden within the natural folds of the eyelid, so once healed, scars are typically very discreet. At Eden Clinic, we use advanced techniques to minimise scarring as much as possible.

While no surgery can stop the ageing process entirely, the results of blepharoplasty can last many years. Most patients enjoy long-term improvements in eyelid appearance and symmetry, often with no need for repeat procedures.

Yes, in most cases blepharoplasty can be safely and comfortably performed under local anaesthetic. This removes the risks of general anaesthetic and allows for a quicker recovery. Your suitability will be confirmed during your free consultation.

If sagging or excess upper eyelid skin is obstructing your field of vision, blepharoplasty can often help. Many patients report improved sight after the procedure.

Yes, many patients choose to combine both in a single procedure for a more balanced result. This will be discussed during your consultation based on your anatomy and goals.

The total cost typically ranges from €2,000 to €4,500, depending on the complexity of the case. This includes your consultation, procedure, and follow-up care. A detailed breakdown will be provided before booking.

The procedure itself is not painful, as it is performed under local anaesthetic. You may experience mild discomfort or tightness during the first few days of healing, which is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

Not at all. The aim of blepharoplasty is to restore your natural eye shape, reduce heaviness, and refresh your appearance — not to change your identity. You will still look like you, just more alert and well-rested.

Yes, but it is minimal compared to procedures performed under general anaesthetic. Most people take a few days off work, wear sunglasses to cover bruising, and resume normal activities within a week.
