Do heavy eyelids affect your vision or appearance? Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) addresses excess eyelid tissue through surgical removal and reshaping, potentially improving both function and aesthetics.
Our Australian team coordinates procedures with experienced surgeons in accredited Ho Chi Minh City hospitals.
Blepharoplasty, also called eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to address functional or aesthetic concerns.
The procedure involves precise tissue removal and reshaping to reduce hooding, puffiness, or sagging. Surgical technique varies based on whether upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both require treatment, and individual anatomical characteristics.
Blepharoplasty may be considered to address functional or aesthetic concerns related to excess eyelid tissue. The procedure aims to:
Individual suitability and outcomes vary based on eyelid anatomy, tissue quality, and realistic expectations. Your surgeon will assess whether upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both require treatment, and whether combination with other facial procedures is appropriate.

Blepharoplasty, like all surgery, carries risks including infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, dry eyes, difficulty closing eyelids completely, changes in eyelid sensation, vision changes, and potential need for revision surgery. Rare but serious complications can occur.
Most patients stay 7-10 days in Vietnam for surgery and initial recovery. Expect eyelid swelling and bruising for the first week, managed with cold compresses and head elevation. Sutures are typically removed within 7 days. Avoid rubbing eyes, contact lenses, and strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks. Final eyelid contour is visible over 3-12 months as swelling fully resolves. Individual experiences and results vary.

Most patients stay 7 – 10 days for surgery and monitored recovery before receiving medical clearance for air travel home.
Surgery is performed under sedation or general anaesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with prescribed medication.
The procedure aims to create a refreshed appearance while maintaining natural eyelid contour. Surgeons remove only excess tissue to avoid overdone or surprised appearance.
May be combined with procedures such as brow lift, facelift, or fat grafting where medically appropriate, as assessed by your surgeon.
Light makeup typically permitted after 7-10 days once sutures are removed and initial healing progresses. Your surgeon provides specific guidance.
If upper eyelid hooding obstructs peripheral vision, surgery may improve visual field. Some patients may have partial insurance coverage for functional blepharoplasty.
