What Is Combined Eyelid Surgery?
Combined eyelid surgery, also known as upper and lower blepharoplasty performed together, is a procedure that addresses both the upper and lower eyelids in a single session.
It corrects sagging skin on the upper eyelids and under-eye bags or puffiness on the lower lids at the same time, rejuvenating the entire eye area in a holistic way.
This combined approach stands out as it eliminates all visible signs of aging around the eyes in one operation. The procedure not only refreshes facial expression but also improves the visual field, giving the patient a healthier, younger, and more energetic look.

Benefits of Combined Eyelid Surgery
This holistic operation provides both functional and aesthetic benefits. In summary:
The Procedure
Combined eyelid surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions to remove excess skin and fat from both the upper and lower eyelids. The duration of surgery depends on the individual’s needs.
After surgery, swelling and bruising are expected, but they gradually improve. Special bandages or compresses may be used if recommended by the doctor.
Important Post-Surgery Considerations:
Yes, it takes slightly longer than surgery on a single eyelid. On average, the operation lasts about 1.5–2 hours. However, the main advantage is that all concerns are corrected in one session.
Yes. With modern techniques and experienced surgeons, combined eyelid surgery is very safe. Performing both at once also allows the healing process to progress together rather than separately.
Swelling and bruising are normal in the first week. Most patients return to daily life within 10–14 days, while complete recovery may take a few months.
Because both the upper and lower eyelids are corrected at the same time, results last for many years—typically 8–10 years. While natural aging continues, the improvements remain long-lasting.
Avoid straining the eyes and refrain from heavy exercise during the first weeks. Use prescribed drops and medications as instructed and attend all follow-up appointments.
