When it may be needed

- Puffiness you would like to discuss
How we treat it
Extra skin, a low brow and a drooping lid (ptosis) can look alike but need different treatment. Dr. Samir checks which one you have. Any operation must keep your blinking and eye closure comfortable.
Meet Dr. Samir Serasiya and read about his qualifications.

Common questions
Is blepharoplasty the same as fixing a drooping eyelid?
No. Extra skin and a low lid need different operations, though some people have both.
What does eyelid surgery cost?
The cost depends on the procedure. Dr. Samir tells you at the consultation.
Can it guarantee a younger look?
No. Results depend on your anatomy and healing. Dr. Samir explains what is realistic.
I have dry eye. Can I still have it?
You can be assessed. Mention dry eye, because comfortable eye closure is part of the decision.
What are the risks?
Bruising, scarring, uneven lids, dryness and bleeding. Severe pain or loss of vision after surgery needs urgent care.
