Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) in Jaipur
Upper and lower eyelid surgery for hooded lids and under-eye bags — from ₹30,000, as per your requirement.
Blepharoplasty is surgery that removes or repositions excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. It can soften hooded upper lids that make you look tired, reduce puffy bags under the eyes and, when heavy lids hang over the lashes, open up your field of vision. At Kezza Clinic, Jaipur, it is performed by Dr. Ankit Bhalothia, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. Eyelid surgery starts from ₹30,000; the final cost depends on which eyelids need treatment.

Your surgeon
Eyelid surgery at Kezza is planned and performed by Dr. Ankit Bhalothia, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who works on facial aesthetics and hair restoration.
Why choose Kezza for eyelid surgery
- A surgeon trained in facial anatomy. Dr. Ankit Bhalothia is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who plans facial work around your natural proportions.
- Upper, lower or both. The plan is based on your eyelids, not a fixed package — which is why the price is 'as per requirement'.
- A clear starting price. From ₹30,000, with the full cost explained after your assessment.
- Eye health first. Dry eyes, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease or recent eye surgery are checked before any plan is made.
The Procedure
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is cosmetic surgery to change the look of hooded or drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes. As we age, eyelid skin stretches and the fat that cushions the eye can bulge forward, which can make you look tired even when you are not.
In an upper blepharoplasty, the surgeon makes a cut in the natural crease of the upper lid and removes excess skin, sometimes with a little muscle or fat. The scar sits in the crease and is usually well hidden. In a lower blepharoplasty, the cut is made just below the lashes or on the inside of the lower lid, and fat is removed or repositioned to smooth the bags; loose skin can be tightened at the same time.
The NHS describes eyelid surgery as taking around 45 minutes to 2 and a half hours, under local or general anaesthetic, and most people go home the same day. When very heavy upper lids hang over the lashes and block the upper part of your vision, surgery can also improve your field of view.
Eyelid surgery has limits. It does not remove dark circles caused by pigment, lines at the corners of the eyes, or a low eyebrow — and a droopy lid caused by a weak lifting muscle (ptosis) needs a different operation. Your assessment makes sure the right problem is treated.

Options
Types of eyelid surgery
Your surgeon chooses the technique after examining your eyelids.
Suitability
Is eyelid surgery right for you?
Blepharoplasty may suit you if
- Hooded upper lids make you look tired or older, or sit on your lashes
- Puffy bags under your eyes are caused by fat, not just fluid or pigment
- You are in good general health and do not smoke, or can stop
- You want a refreshed look, not a change to the shape of your eyes
Tell your surgeon first if
- You have dry eyes, glaucoma or thyroid eye disease
- You have had laser eye surgery or other eye surgery recently
- You take blood thinners, aspirin or supplements that affect bleeding
- You have high blood pressure, diabetes or a bleeding disorder
- Your problem is mainly dark pigment or a low eyebrow — another treatment may suit you better
You may be asked to have your eyesight or eye health checked before surgery, so that your eyelids are planned safely.

Options
Eyelid surgery or a non-surgical option?
Tired-looking eyes have different causes, so the right treatment depends on what you see in the mirror.
| Concern | Blepharoplasty | Non-surgical options |
|---|---|---|
| Excess, hooded upper-lid skin | Removes the extra skin — the main treatment | Not effectively treated without surgery |
| Puffy under-eye bags from fat | Removes or repositions the fat | Fillers can sometimes blend a hollow next to a bag, but do not remove fat |
| Dark circles from pigment | Does not lighten pigment | Dark Circles: creams, peels or laser |
| Crow's feet and fine lines | Not treated by eyelid surgery | Botox for expression lines |
| Downtime | About 2 weeks off work; bruising for several weeks | Little or none |
Safety
Risks and side effects of blepharoplasty
Common and usually temporary
- Swelling and bruising around the eyes
- Watery, dry, gritty or sensitive eyes for a few weeks
- Blurred vision for a short time, often from ointment
- Tightness along the scars for a few months
Less common or rare
- Uneven eyelids, noticeable scarring or changed feeling in the eyelids
- Difficulty closing the eyes fully, or the lower lid pulling down or outwards (ectropion)
- Double vision or injury to the eye muscles (rare)
- Bleeding into the eye socket, which can affect vision (rare)
- General surgical risks such as infection, bleeding or a reaction to the anaesthetic; the result may not be what you hoped and further surgery may be needed

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
At Kezza Clinic, eyelid surgery starts from ₹30,000. The price is 'as per requirement': it depends on whether the upper lids, lower lids or all four are treated, whether fat needs to be removed or repositioned, and the type of anaesthesia. You receive your quote after an assessment with Dr. Ankit Bhalothia.
Blepharoplasty at Kezza is performed by Dr. Ankit Bhalothia, an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon who leads hair transplant and facial aesthetic surgery at the clinic. Surgery is done at our Jaipur clinic.
Eyelid surgery can be done under local anaesthetic, sometimes with sedation, or under general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will recommend the option that suits the procedure you need.
Most people go home the same day and take about 2 weeks off work. Stitches or strips are usually removed within a week. Bruising can take several weeks to fade, and scars may feel tight for a few months before they soften.
Upper-lid scars sit in the natural crease of the eyelid and are usually hard to see once healed. Lower-lid scars sit just below the lashes, or there may be no visible scar if the inside-the-lid approach is used.
No. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat; it does not lighten dark pigment. Dark circles caused by pigment or thin skin are treated differently — see our dark circles treatment page.
The skin and fat removed do not come back, so results are long-lasting, but your eyelids will continue to age naturally. Upper-lid hooding can slowly return over the years.
