Cosmetic eye surgery

Cosmetic eye surgery is a type of procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the eyes, eyelids, or the surrounding area. There are several types of cosmetic eye surgeries, depending on the specific concerns and goals of the patient. Some common ones include:

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

This surgery is designed to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to correct drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes. It can also help improve vision in cases where sagging eyelids obstruct peripheral vision.

Ptosis Surgery

Ptosis refers to drooping eyelids caused by weak muscles. Ptosis surgery is performed to tighten the muscle and lift the eyelid to its proper position, which can also enhance vision.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

This procedure involves the modification of the outer corner (lateral canthus) of the eye, often done to create a more elongated or almond-shaped eye. It can be done for aesthetic reasons or to improve function.

Eyelash Transplantation

Some individuals may undergo eyelash transplant surgery to restore or enhance the fullness of their eyelashes if they are sparse or have been lost due to medical conditions.

Cosmetic Injectables (Botox, Fillers)

Botox and dermal fillers can be used around the eyes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow's feet, and fine lines. These are non-surgical options to give a more youthful look.

Eye Color Change Surgery (Iris Implant Surgery

This is a controversial and risky procedure where a colored implant is inserted into the eye to change the color of the iris. It's typically done for cosmetic reasons but carries significant risks and is not recommended by most doctors due to potential complications.

Cosmetic eye surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks, such as infection, scarring, dry eyes, and complications related to anesthesia.
