Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
The eye area is a major focal point in facial expression. Excess skin, fat accumulation, or changes in eyelid structure can make the appearance look tired, heavy, or less fresh. Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery to measurably correct these conditions, with the aim of presenting a lighter, neater, and more proportionate eye appearance without altering facial character.
What is Blepharoplasty and How is it Approached?
Blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure to correct excess skin, fat, and structure of the upper and lower eyelids.
At Dahayu, blepharoplasty is performed with a personalized and medically controlled approach, tailored to each patient's eye anatomy, age, and functional and aesthetic needs. It is performed in a hospital environment with RSIA Puri Bunda Denpasar safety standards, and directly supervised by a plastic surgeon.
Who Needs Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty may be considered for individuals who experience:
- Upper eyelids appear droopy or heavy due to excess skin
- Eyes look tired or droopy despite being in good shape
- Persistent eye bags that are difficult to improve with non-surgical treatments
- Visual field impairment due to upper eyelid skin
- Desire to improve the appearance of the eye area in a responsible and medically controlled manner
Procedures that can be performed in blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is not always the same for every individual. At Dahayu, the procedure is customized according to the needs of the eye area, including:
- Upper eyelid blepharoplasty
Focus on removing excess skin and structuring the upper eyelid to create a neater, lighter crease.
- Lower eyelid blepharoplasty
Aimed at addressing eye bags, fat distribution, as well as improving the under-eye transition to appear smoother and more balanced.
- Top & Bottom Combination
Performed when necessary for overall harmonization of the eye area, so that the result looks harmonious between the upper and lower eyelids.

Blepharoplasty is generally performed with local anesthesia and is a minor surgical procedure.
