Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Overview
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is performed to rejuvenate the upper or lower eyelids by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure restores a more alert, youthful appearance and can also improve vision when sagging eyelids interfere with sight. At Kapital Surgery Center in Miami, we perform both cosmetic and functional blepharoplasty using minimally invasive techniques that deliver subtle, natural results.
How It Works
For the upper eyelids, incisions are made along the natural crease to remove extra skin and fat. For the lower eyelids, incisions are either hidden below the lash line or made inside the eyelid (transconjunctival) to address puffiness and under-eye bags without visible scars.
Ideal Candidates
- Droopy upper eyelids that make you look tired or aged
- Puffy lower eyelids or under-eye bags
- Good overall health and no serious eye conditions
- Realistic expectations for improvement.
Benefits
- Brightens the eye area
- Restores alert, youthful appearance

Recovery
Swelling and bruising last 1–2 weeks. You may return to non-strenuous activities after 5–7 days. Most patients see their final result in 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement over time.
