Brighter, more youthful eyes with natural-looking results
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that improves droopy eyelids and under-eye bags. Dr. Muddappa P. P., an experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Bangalore, performs eyelid surgery to create a refreshed, alert appearance while preserving natural eye expression.
The eyes are often the first area to show signs of ageing. Loose skin, droopy eyelids, and puffiness under the eyes can make a person look tired, older, or even affect vision in severe cases. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) helps correct these concerns and restores a more refreshed appearance.
At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Muddappa P. P. offers eyelid surgery with a strong focus on precision, safety, and natural results. The aim is not to change the shape of the eyes, but to remove excess skin and fat while maintaining balance and expression.

Eyelid surgery can address:
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat, while lower eyelid surgery targets under-eye bags and wrinkles. In some cases, both are performed together for best results.
Every patient's eye shape, skin quality, and facial structure are different. Dr. Muddappa begins with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns and evaluate eyelid anatomy, muscle tone, and skin laxity.
As a trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon, he carefully plans incisions along natural eyelid creases so scars remain discreet. The goal is a result that looks natural, refreshed, and in harmony with the rest of the face.
Eyelid surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the case. The procedure typically takes one to two hours.
Incisions are placed in natural folds of the eyelids or just below the lower lashes. Excess skin, fat, or muscle is removed or repositioned as needed. The incisions are then closed carefully to promote smooth healing.
Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness around the eyes are common in the first week. These symptoms gradually improve with time. Most patients return to daily activities within 7-10 days.
Stitches are usually removed within a few days. Final results continue to improve over a few weeks as healing progresses. Dr. Muddappa provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up visits to ensure safe recovery.
Eyelid surgery may be suitable for individuals who:
A consultation helps determine whether eyelid surgery or non-surgical options would be more appropriate.
Dr. Muddappa believes that successful eyelid surgery should make you look well-rested and refreshed, without obvious signs of surgery.
