Eyelid Lift

Say Goodbye to Droopy Eyelids with Blepharoplasty by Dr. Bimpe Ayeni

Refresh Your Eyes, Renew Your Look

Are drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, or fine lines around your eyes making you look tired or older than you feel? Eyelid lift surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, offers a refined solution to rejuvenate your appearance. At Dr. Bimpe Ayeni’s Toronto practice, we focus on restoring a refreshed, youthful look—enhancing your natural beauty and helping you feel more confident every day.

Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery

Eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty) is a refined procedure designed to address common concerns around the eyes, including drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and fine wrinkles. As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes loses elasticity, muscles may weaken, and fat can shift or accumulate—often leading to a tired or aged appearance.

Blepharoplasty works by precisely removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The result is a smoother, more youthful eye contour—and in some cases, improved peripheral vision when sagging skin obstructs the visual field.

Types of Eyelid Surgery Offered

We understand that every individual’s eyes—and goals—are unique. That’s why Dr. Ayeni and her team offer a tailored approach to eyelid surgery, customizing each procedure to address your specific concerns and enhance your natural beauty with precision and care. 

Procedures Target Areas Benefits Technique
Upper Blepharoplasty Excess skin, fat, sometimes muscle (upper eyelids) Lifts drooping eyelids, improves peripheral vision (if obstructed), creates a more alert and youthful appearance. Discreet incisions within the natural crease of the upper eyelid, minimizing visible scarring.
Lower Blepharoplasty Under-eye bags, puffiness, wrinkles (lower eyelids) Reduces puffiness and dark circles, smooths wrinkles, creates a more rested and refreshed look. Transconjunctival incision (inside lower eyelid) or external incision just below lash line.
Ptosis Repair Surgery Drooping upper eyelid (weakened levator muscle) Improves vision by lifting the eyelid, corrects asymmetry, enhances facial harmony. Tightening or repositioning of the levator muscle to restore proper eyelid function.
Lateral Canthoplasty Outer corners of the eyes (lateral canthus) Lifts and widens the eyes, creates a more almond-shaped appearance, enhances facial balance. Small incision at the outer corner of the eye to reposition the lateral canthus.

Benefits of Eyelid Lift Surgery

Eyelid lift surgery, or blepharoplasty, offers benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Backed by clinical research, it not only enhances appearance but can also improve vision, restore comfort, and boost emotional well-being—helping you look and feel truly revitalized.

  • Improved Vision: Lifting drooping eyelids restores peripheral vision and reduces eye strain, enhancing visual acuity.
  • Reduced Eye Discomfort: Addresses irritation, dryness, and difficulty closing the eyes caused by sagging skin.
  • Boosted Confidence: Enhances self-esteem and reduces social anxiety by refreshing tired or aged facial appearance.
  • Youthful Expression: Creates a more alert, approachable look by smoothing wrinkles and lifting the eye area.

Long-Term Results & Preventive Care

While individual results vary, Eyelid lift surgery generally offers long-lasting benefits. By addressing the underlying causes of eyelid aging, the procedure can also help prevent further deterioration and potentially delay the need for future interventions.

Other Benefits

  • Reduce Headaches: In some cases, chronic forehead tension caused by overcompensating drooping eyelids can be relieved with blepharoplasty.
  • Improve Makeup Application: Smoother eyelid skin can make it easier to apply makeup and achieve the desired results.

Answers to Your Most Common Questions

If loose upper-lid skin, under-eye bags, or fine wrinkles make your eyes look tired—or even block side vision—you may benefit from blepharoplasty. During your consultation, Dr. Ayeni will examine your eyelids, review your health history, and confirm the safest, most effective plan for your goals.

Incisions are placed in the natural upper-lid crease and/or just inside or below the lower-lash line. These discreet locations allow scars to stay hidden when your eyes are open and to fade steadily over time.

Expect mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Most patients feel “camera-ready” and back to desk work within 7–14 days and can resume light exercise after about two weeks, once Dr. Ayeni has confirmed normal healing at your follow-up visit.

By lifting drooping upper lids and removing excess tissue, the procedure can restore peripheral vision that sagging skin once blocked. Your central vision and eye function remain unchanged.

OHIP only funds upper-lid surgery when objective testing proves that overhanging skin reduces your visual field by ≥ 50 percent. All other cosmetic cases are self-funded; we’ll review costs and financing options during your visit.
