Eyelid Surgery in Sharjah – Your Quick Path to a Brighter, Younger Look

As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes often shows the first signs of time — droopiness, puffiness, and tired-looking lids. These changes can make you look older or more fatigued than you feel. Fortunately, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) offers a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your appearance. And at Gaelan Hospital, Sharjah, this is performed as a one-day surgery, meaning you walk in and out on the same day, fully cared for by expert surgeons.

What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Eyelid surgery, medically called blepharoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, or fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It’s designed to:

• Reduce droopy upper lids that may interfere with vision
• Eliminate under-eye puffiness
• Create a more youthful, refreshed appearance

At Gaelan Hospital Sharjah, the focus is on safe procedures, advanced technology, and quick recovery — all within a one-day surgery format.

Benefits You Can Expect

• Natural, Fresh Appearance
  Eyelid surgery removes sagging skin and puffiness to make your eyes look more open and youthful — not overdone.
• Improved Vision (When Affected by Excess Skin)
  If droopy lids were blocking your vision, surgery can help improve your field of view.
• Minimal Scars
  Incisions are placed carefully along natural creases, so scars fade and become almost invisible over time.
• Quick Return to Daily Life
  Thanks to our one-day surgery approach, most patients can return to work or regular routines within a few days.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Eyelid surgery is commonly chosen by:

• Adults who notice sagging lids or under-eye bags
• People in good overall health
• Individuals with realistic expectations

During your consultation, our surgeon will check your eye health, skin condition, and medical history to confirm the best plan for you.

Recovery Tips for the Best Results

Right after surgery, you’ll need to:

• Apply Cold Compresses
  This helps reduce swelling in the first 48 hours.
• Rest & Sleep with Head Elevated
  Keeping your head slightly elevated helps healing.
• Avoid Strenuous Activity
  Skip heavy exercise for about a week, unless advised otherwise.
• Wear Sunglasses Outdoors
  Protect your eyes from sun and wind while healing.

Most swelling and bruising improve within 7–10 days. By the second week, many patients feel confident returning to social activities.
