Natural, refreshed result by Dr. Ranjit Bhosale
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery or an eye lift, is one of the most precise and rewarding procedures in facial plastic and cosmetic surgery; in simple terms, blepharoplasty surgery is a procedure used to remove or reposition excess skin, muscle, and fat from the eyelids. At Sculpt Sublime, we help patients correct drooping upper lids, smooth puffy under-eye bags, and restore a brighter, more refreshed appearance. In some cases, blepharoplasty may be combined with other facial procedures such as a brow lift to improve overall facial balance and harmony.
Beyond cosmetics, blepharoplasty is also performed to deliver both aesthetic and functional improvement. Severely sagging upper eyelids can hang over the lashes and obstruct peripheral vision; in these cases, functional eyelid surgery restores a clearer line of sight while also rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes. In many cases, a single procedure can improve both how you see and how you look.
You may be an ideal candidate for eyelid surgery in Mumbai if you:
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat that creates a heavy, hooded appearance over the eyes. The incision is hidden discreetly within the natural eyelid crease, so any resulting scar heals virtually invisibly. It is ideal for patients whose upper lids look tired, droopy, or are beginning to obstruct vision.
Lower eyelid surgery targets under-eye bags, puffiness, fine wrinkles, and loose skin. Depending on your skin elasticity, the incision is placed just below the lash line or entirely inside the lower lid. The latter, called transconjunctival blepharoplasty, is a scarless technique used to remove or reposition under-eye fat with precision.
Asian blepharoplasty is a specialised technique that creates or enhances an upper-eyelid crease for individuals of Asian descent, producing larger, more open-looking eyes while respecting and preserving natural ethnic characteristics. It can be performed using a suture-based or incision technique depending on the anatomy and desired result.
This approach addresses both the upper and lower eyelids in a single session, delivering comprehensive rejuvenation of the entire eye area with only one recovery period. It is ideal for patients with ageing concerns affecting all four lids.
Through the same lower-lid incision, the deeper tissues of the mid-face and cheeks can be gently lifted and repositioned. For patients in their early 40s, this combination is often recommended as a long-lasting, preventative approach that creates a naturally lifted, refreshed appearance rather than an overdone look.

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Ranjit Bhosale evaluates your eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and facial proportions, then discusses your goals, concerns, and the outcomes you can realistically expect. A customised surgical plan is created based on your anatomy, medical history, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
Once you decide to proceed, your surgeon will order any necessary pre-operative investigations, including blood tests and an eye assessment. For functional cases, visual-field testing may be required. You will receive specific instructions about medications to avoid, fasting requirements, and lifestyle adjustments — particularly regarding smoking — in the weeks before surgery.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation for patient comfort, though general anaesthesia is available if preferred. Your anaesthesiologist will review your history and tailor the plan to your needs.
Depending on the area being treated, the surgeon makes precise incisions within the natural eyelid creases or just below the lash line, then removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat. The procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on whether one or all four lids are treated.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures placed in concealed locations. You will be given detailed aftercare instructions, including how to manage swelling and protect the eyes during the critical early healing phase.
Most patients return home the same day. Stitches are typically removed around day 5–7, and swelling and bruising improve over the following weeks. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure an optimal result. Many patients choose to address multiple concerns together, combining blepharoplasty with procedures such as a brow lift, rhinoplasty, cheek volumization, chin augmentation, or correction of wrinkles for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What are the typical stages of recovery after eyelid surgery? Here is a general timeline patients can expect:
Do: keep your head elevated, use cold compresses, take prescribed medication, wear sunglasses outdoors, and attend all follow-up appointments.
Don’t: rub your eyes, wear contact lenses for two weeks, apply eye makeup until healed, do strenuous exercise for 3–4 weeks, or expose the incisions to direct sunlight.

Incisions are placed within the natural eyelid creases or just below the lash line, so scars are virtually imperceptible once healed. Lower-lid surgery done from inside the eyelid leaves no external scar at all.
Most patients return to work within 7–14 days. Stitches come out around day 5–7, and complete healing takes 2–3 months as residual swelling settles.
Most patients experience only minimal discomfort. Any soreness is mild and well managed with prescribed medication.
