If you’re considering eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty in Bangalore, you’re not alone. Age, stress, and genetics can lead to sagging upper lids, puffy under-eyes, or heavy-looking eyes that make you appear tired—even when you’re well-rested.
At Tara Healthcare, one of the top centers for blepharoplasty and plastic surgery in Bangalore, we believe every patient deserves clarity, confidence, and personalized care before making any surgical decision.
Here are the top 10 essential questions you should ask during your blepharoplasty consultation—so you walk in informed and walk out empowered.
1. Am I a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?
Not everyone with under-eye puffiness or drooping eyelids is a candidate for surgery. Your surgeon will evaluate:
- Eyelid anatomy and skin elasticity
- Fat distribution
- Pre-existing eye conditions (like dry eyes or ptosis)
✅ Pro Tip: Look for a specialist who considers both cosmetic and functional outcomes. At Tara Healthcare, Dr. Karan Shetty, our board-certified plastic surgeon with 10+ years of experience, performs a thorough pre-op assessment to determine if blepharoplasty is right for you.
2. What Results Can I Realistically Expect?
Blepharoplasty can refresh your appearance, but it won’t erase every fine line or drastically change your face. Ask to see before-and-after photos of patients with similar concerns to set the right expectations.
At Tara Healthcare, we aim for natural, balanced results—never overdone. Dr. Karan Shetty, often regarded as one of the best blepharoplasty surgeons in Bangalore, focuses on preserving your facial harmony while achieving visible rejuvenation.
3. Will I Need Upper, Lower, or Quad Eyelid Surgery?
Blepharoplasty may involve:
- Upper eyelids (to correct excess skin or hooding)
- Lower eyelids (to address puffiness or bags)
- Both (known as quad blepharoplasty)
Each approach varies in technique and recovery. During your consultation, your surgeon should explain the customized plan best suited to your goals and anatomy.
4. Who Will Perform the Surgery, and What Are Their Credentials?
Always verify your surgeon’s qualifications. Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with specialized training in facial aesthetics—not just a general cosmetic practitioner.
At Tara Healthcare, all eyelid surgeries are performed by Dr. Karan Shetty, an internationally trained expert with fellowships in Germany, Japan, and Spain. His precision and aesthetic sensibility are critical for delicate procedures like eyelid surgery.
5. Where Will the Incisions Be Made? Will I Have Visible Scars?
Ask about the surgical technique:
- Upper lid incisions are placed in the natural crease
- Lower lid incisions are either just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach)
Dr. Karan Shetty uses microsurgical tools and scar-minimizing techniques to ensure incisions heal discreetly within your natural contours.
6. What Is the Recovery Timeline?
While blepharoplasty is a day-care procedure, healing varies. Discuss:
- Downtime needed (usually 5–7 days for light activities)
- When you can wear makeup or resume work
- How long swelling or bruising will last
At Tara Healthcare, you’ll receive a detailed post-op care plan, along with follow-ups to monitor your healing.
7. What Are the Potential Risks or Side Effects?
Like any surgery, blepharoplasty carries some risks:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or blurred vision
- Dry eyes or irritation
- Rarely, asymmetry or lid malposition
A transparent discussion of risks and how your surgeon manages them is essential. At Tara Healthcare, we conduct comprehensive pre-op evaluations to minimize complications and ensure safe outcomes.
8. Will the Results Look Natural?
This is one of the most important questions. A skilled surgeon tailors the procedure to your age, gender, and ethnicity, ensuring the results appear refreshed—not “done.”
At Tara Healthcare, Dr. Karan Shetty’s approach emphasizes subtle enhancement, so you still look like yourself—just better rested and more alert.
9. How Long Will the Results Last?
Blepharoplasty results often last 8–10 years, influenced by:
- Skin quality
- Aging
- Lifestyle and sun exposure
While surgery doesn’t stop aging, it resets your baseline. Maintaining results with skincare, sun protection, and occasional adjunct treatments like Botox can extend the benefits.
10. Are There Non-Surgical Alternatives?
If you’re early in the aging process or not ready for surgery, ask about:
- Dermal fillers for under-eye hollows
- Laser resurfacing for fine lines
- Botox for dynamic wrinkles around the eyes
At Tara Healthcare, we offer personalized treatment plans that include both surgical and non-surgical solutions to suit your comfort and goals.
