Eyelid Rejuvenation (Blepharoplasty) in London, Ontario
Yazdani Aesthetics offers eyelid rejuvenation surgery in London, Ontario for patients who want to address drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, puffiness, excess eyelid skin, or a tired appearance around the eyes. Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
When you look in the mirror, what do you notice first? Many of our patients come to us asking for help with the lower parts of their face—loose skin in the lower face and neck, thinning lips, or wrinkles around the mouth and chin. But when other people look at them, the first thing they usually notice is the area around the eyes.
Your eyes occupy the focal point of your face, the area that draws the most attention from others. As you age, bags can develop beneath your eyes, and your eyelids may begin to droop, appear folded over, or look puffy. When others see you, they may think of you as chronically tired or weary, especially toward the end of each day.

BOOK CONSULTATIONHow Blepharoplasty Works
Eyelid rejuvenation surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. In a blepharoplasty at Yazdani Aesthetics, we remove the excess skin and fat that your upper eyelids have gathered, enabling your eyes to open wider and convey an impression of natural alertness. We can also lessen wrinkles below your eyes, and use a chemical peel to correct discolouration that can be perceived by others as bags. We make sure to hide the incisions within the natural creases of tissue surrounding your eyes.*
Eyelid rejuvenation surgery can play a significant role in restoring a youthful face, making you appear more alert at first glance, and sculpting a younger contour for your eyes.
*Individual results may vary and are not guaranteed.

Eyelid Rejuvenation FAQs
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid rejuvenation surgery, is a precise surgical procedure designed to correct structural signs of aging surrounding the eyes. Led by Royal College-certified plastic surgeons, the procedure carefully removes or alters excess skin and muscle, while shifting or extracting underlying fat deposits to restyle a younger contour for your eyes.
What does eyelid surgery treat?
Eyelid surgery treats drooping or sagging upper eyelids, puffiness caused by fat deposits, loose skin that creates unwanted folds over the eye crease, fine lines, and visible under-eye bags that contribute to a perpetually exhausted expression.
What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty targets heavy hooding, loose skin, and puffiness on the upper lid to help the eye open more naturally. Lower blepharoplasty targets the under-eye area, specifically smoothing out deep tear troughs, removing loose skin creases, and eliminating prominent fat bulges or bags.
What is the difference between blepharoplasty and a brow lift?
While both address the upper face, they treat different structures. A blepharoplasty strictly repairs loose skin and fat within the boundaries of the eyelid itself. A brow lift addresses tissues above the eye, lifting a heavy, descended forehead and repositioning low eyebrows. Sometimes, what looks like excess upper eyelid skin is actually a sagging brow pushing downward. Our surgeons can clarify which structure is the true cause during your exam.
Where are blepharoplasty incisions placed?
Our surgeons make sure to hide the incisions within the natural creases of tissue surrounding your eyes to keep scarring incredibly discreet. For upper eyelids, the incision follows the natural horizontal fold of the lid. For lower eyelids, the incision is placed just below the lower eyelash line or neatly hidden completely inside the lower eyelid tissue (a transconjunctival approach).
How long does eyelid surgery take?
A standard blepharoplasty surgery typically takes about 2 hours to complete, depending on whether you are treating the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both together.
What type of anesthesia is used for blepharoplasty?
For your absolute safety, comfort, and precise care, eyelid rejuvenation procedures at Yazdani Aesthetics are performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with deep sedation.
Is blepharoplasty outpatient?
Yes. Blepharoplasty is an outpatient surgery. You will be cleared to return home on the very same day as your procedure to rest and heal in the comfort of your own home.
How long is eyelid surgery recovery?
Most patients are ready to go back to work with the help of camouflage makeup within 1 to 2 weeks. More strenuous physical activity, exercise, and heavy lifting should be completely avoided for 2 to 3 weeks. It takes approximately 1 to 2 months for all residual post-operative swelling to completely resolve, revealing your final, refreshed eye appearance.
