What is Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the eyelids by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle. It can address the upper lids (heaviness, drooping), lower lids (puffiness, under-eye bags), or both — and includes double eyelid creation, one of the most commonly requested aesthetic procedures in Shanghai.

Shanghai surgeons have deep, specialised expertise in eyelid anatomy across East and Southeast Asian features. Vday coordinates your consultation, procedure, and recovery so everything is seamlessly managed from your first message.

The Procedure Process

Your surgeon will assess whether upper, lower, or both eyelids require treatment, along with your desired crease height and shape if double eyelid creation is part of the plan. The procedure is performed under local or light general anaesthesia and typically takes 1–3 hours.

Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first 7–14 days, with most clients comfortable returning to normal life within two weeks using makeup or sunglasses if needed. Full results are visible at 3–6 months as fine swelling fully resolves.

Eyelid Surgery FAQ

What does eyelid surgery correct? +

Eyelid surgery corrects drooping or heavy upper lids, under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin that makes the eyes appear tired or aged. It can also create or reshape a double eyelid crease. Treatment can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both.

Does eyelid surgery hurt? +

The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during surgery. Post-operative swelling and mild tightness are normal and well managed with medication — most clients describe the recovery as comfortable.

How long do eyelid surgery results last? +

Upper eyelid surgery results typically last 7–10 years. Lower eyelid results are often permanent, since the fat that is repositioned or removed does not usually return.

When can I wear contact lenses after surgery? +

Glasses can be worn throughout recovery. Contact lenses should generally be avoided for 2–3 weeks after surgery to allow the eyelids to heal fully.

Why do eyelid surgery in Shanghai? +

Shanghai surgeons perform blepharoplasty at very high volume, with deep expertise in techniques suited to East and Southeast Asian eye anatomy. This translates into natural, precise results consistently — at a fraction of the cost elsewhere.
