Blepharoplasty Abu Dhabi & Dubai
Refreshed, Natural Eyes with Expert Eyelid Surgery
Tired eyes, sagging lids, or under-eye bags can make you look older or more fatigued than you feel. An expertly performed eyelid lift can refresh your gaze while still preserving your natural expression.
On this page, you will understand what blepharoplasty involves, how upper and lower eyelid surgery is performed, what the recovery process looks like, and why patients choose Dr. Salma Cheikh for eyelid surgery in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is an eyelid lift procedure in which excess skin (dermatochalasis) and fat are removed or repositioned to create a more open, youthful, and rested eye area.
It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, to improve appearance, or for functional reasons when drooping upper lids start to interfere with vision or cause eye strain.
Whether you search for “blepharoplasty Abu Dhabi” or “eyelid surgery in Dubai,” the goal is the same. The procedure is designed to smooth heavy folds, reduce puffiness, and sharpen the natural crease of the eyelid while safeguarding eye health and function.

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Abu Dhabi & Dubai
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both.
Upper blepharoplasty
- Targets loose, hanging upper eyelid skin and bulging fat pads
- Can improve hooded eyelids that hide the natural crease
- In some cases, it may be considered when drooping lids affect the visual field
Lower blepharoplasty
- Focuses on under-eye bags, puffiness, and fine wrinkling
- Can involve removing or repositioning fat to smooth the tear trough
- Often chosen to reduce a “tired” or “puffy” look under the eyes
Dr. Salma customizes upper and lower blepharoplasty based on your anatomy, skin quality, and goals, so both eyes remain symmetrical and in harmony with the rest of the face.
Who Is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You may benefit from eyelid surgery Abu Dhabi or Dubai if you notice:
- Loose, sagging skin that creates heavy folds on the upper lids
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes that do not respond to skincare or lifestyle changes
- A constantly tired or sad expression, even when you feel well-rested
- Eyelids that interfere with reading, driving, or everyday tasks
During consultation, Dr. Salma will review your medical history, examine your eyelids, and discuss your expectations of achieving that perfect look.
Blepharoplasty is not a cure for aging, but it can significantly refresh your appearance and improve quality of life when you are a suitable candidate.
How Eyelid Lift Surgery in Dubai Works
Eyelid surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia to numb the eye area, sometimes combined with light sedation so that you remain relaxed and comfortable.
Step 1: Detailed assessment and planning
Dr. Salma studies your eyelid position, brow position, skin laxity, and fat distribution. She then designs a precise surgical plan to address excess skin and fat while protecting eyelid function and eye health.
Step 2: Careful incisions in natural lines
For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are placed in the natural crease, making them discreet once healed. For lower eyelid surgery, incisions may be placed just beneath the lash line or inside the lid, depending on the technique and the amount of excess skin.
Step 3: Sculpting and lifting
Excess skin is trimmed, and fat is either removed or repositioned to smooth hollows and reduce bulging. Muscles may be tightened or reshaped to create a firm, natural contour.
Step 4: Fine closure
The incisions are closed with very fine sutures to support healing. Each set of lids takes less than one hour of operating time, although the total visit is more extended to allow for preparation and recovery.
Recovery and Expected Results
After an eyelid surgery, mild bruising, swelling, and a feeling of tightness around the eyes are common in the first few days. Most patients describe the discomfort as manageable with prescribed medication and simple home care.
You can generally expect:
- Swelling and bruising to peak in the first 48 to 72 hours and gradually settle
- Stitches to be removed according to the surgeon’s advice
- A return to desk work in about one to two weeks, depending on the extent of surgery
- Final refinement of scars and contour over several weeks to months
Results from upper and lower blepharoplasty are long-lasting, especially when combined with good skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle.
