Face Procedures: Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Correction) with Dr. S. Sivakumar

At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, we understand the importance of refreshed, youthful eyes. Under the expert care of Dr. S. Sivakumar, our Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Correction) service is designed to help you achieve a rejuvenated appearance and improved visual comfort.

What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Correction)?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid correction surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. By addressing drooping eyelids and puffiness, we help restore a more alert and youthful eye contour.

Overview

Blepharoplasty not only enhances aesthetics but can improve vision obstructed by sagging eyelids. We tailor each correction to individual anatomy and goals, combining artistry with advanced surgical techniques.

Causes

Common factors leading to eyelid concerns include:

  • Natural aging and skin laxity
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Sun damage and environmental exposure
  • Lifestyle habits such as smoking

Solutions

Depending on severity and patient preference, our solutions range from:

  • Surgical blepharoplasty (upper, lower, or combined)
  • Non-surgical options like laser resurfacing or injectable fillers
  • Adjunctive treatments (brow lift) for comprehensive rejuvenation

Types of Blepharoplasty

We offer:

  • Upper eyelid blepharoplasty – corrects hooded or drooping lids
  • Lower eyelid blepharoplasty – reduces under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Combination blepharoplasty – addresses both upper and lower lids in one session

Types of Treatments

Our treatment approaches include:

  • Incisional technique – traditional removal of excess tissue via external cuts
  • Transconjunctival technique – hidden incision inside the lower eyelid for minimal scarring
  • Fat repositioning – redistributes fat for a smoother contour

Stages of Treatment

Every successful blepharoplasty follows defined stages:
