Eyelid Surgery in Dubai
The delicate skin around your eyes plays a key role in expressing emotion and vitality. Over time, factors such as aging, genetics, and lifestyle can cause drooping eyelids, puffiness, or under-eye bags, which may make you appear tired or older than you feel. Eyelid surgery in Dubai, also known as blepharoplasty, is a refined cosmetic procedure designed to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance to both the upper and lower eyelids.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about blepharoplasty in Dubai — from the types of procedures and recovery timeline to the benefits and costs — all with the expert care of Dr. Faisal Salim, one of Dubai’s leading plastic surgeons.
Eyelid surgery in Dubai is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving and enhancing the appearance of the eyelids. This surgery can replenish the area around your eyes, making you look more refreshed and alert, whether you need enhancements for your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical eyelid procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It addresses common concerns such as drooping upper lids, under-eye bags, and fine wrinkles around the eyes. Whether for aesthetic enhancement or functional improvement, blepharoplasty is a popular choice for both men and women seeking natural-looking rejuvenation.
Why Consider Eyelid Lift Surgery in Dubai?
Choosing eyelid surgery in Dubai offers several distinct advantages:
- Access to state-of-the-art medical technology and modern surgical techniques
- Treatment by highly qualified surgeons like Dr. Faisal Salim, who specializes in achieving precise, harmonious results
- A safe, internationally accredited healthcare environment
If sagging eyelids are affecting your vision or confidence, an eyelid lift can offer dramatic yet subtle improvements, making your eyes appear brighter and more alert.
Types of Blepharoplasty
At Dr. Faisal’s clinic, blepharoplasty procedures are customized to meet each patient’s individual concerns and aesthetic goals. The two primary types of eyelid surgery include:
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty procedure targets drooping skin and fat deposits that weigh down the upper lids. This procedure can:
- Remove excess skin that causes hooded eyelids
- Improve vision obstructed by sagging upper eyelids
- Create a smoother, more defined eyelid contour
It is particularly popular among patients who want both cosmetic enhancement and functional improvement.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty addresses puffiness, under-eye bags, and fine wrinkles beneath the eyes. It can:
- Reduce or eliminate under-eye fat pads
- Tighten sagging skin
- Smooth wrinkles for a more rested appearance
Dr. Faisal utilizes advanced techniques to reposition fat and smooth skin for natural-looking, youthful results.
The Blepharoplasty Procedure
Every blepharoplasty procedure begins with a personalized consultation to assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and plan a customized treatment approach.
Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation: Dr. Faisal reviews your medical history and explains the options for upper or lower blepharoplasty or both.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is used to ensure comfort.
- Surgical Technique:
- For upper eyelid blepharoplasty, an incision is made within the natural crease of the upper eyelid.
- For lower eyelid blepharoplasty, incisions are typically placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach).
- Tissue Adjustment: Excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned to create a smooth, natural contour.
- Closure: Incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures, minimizing visible scarring.
The entire eyelid procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether both eyelids are treated.
Blepharoplasty Recovery Timeline
Blepharoplasty recovery is relatively smooth compared to other facial surgeries. Most patients experience:
- Mild swelling and bruising for the first week
- Sensitivity to light and temporary blurred vision (if applicable)
- Minimal discomfort managed with prescribed medications
Typical recovery milestones:
- 3–5 days: Sutures removed (if non-dissolvable)
- 7–10 days: Most bruising and swelling subsides
- 10–14 days: Return to work and social activities
- 4–6 weeks: Final results begin to emerge; full healing continues
Dr. Faisal provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimize eyelid surgery scars.
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

- Brighter, more youthful-looking eyes
- Improved peripheral vision by removing drooping skin
- Reduced puffiness and under-eye bags
- Smoother, firmer eyelid skin Boosted self-confidence with a rejuvenated appearance

- Follow Dr. Faisal’s post-operative care instructions
