Dr Zakhary performs eyelid surgery under local anesthesia or sedation anesthesia, in a fully accredited surgical facility in Calgary, Alberta.
During transconjunctival blepharoplasty, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid, so there are no visible scars, and the fat is removed.
The patient is first sedated. Dr. Hamilton then performs the eyelid surgery under a local anesthetic.
Lower eyelid surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
An upper blepharoplasty is typically carried under local anesthetic.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure requiring local anesthesia and sedation.
A lower blepharoplasty can be done under local or general anesthetic depending on the needs of the patient.
The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery using local anesthesia for upper eyelid surgery. More complex cases involving both upper and lower eyelids may require general anesthesia.
For upper eyelid surgery, a precise incision is made along the natural lid crease to hide scarring. For lower eyelid surgery, incisions are made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid.
Facelift surgery is more common in males than one might think and is commonly combined with a brow lift or blepharoplasty surgery.
Upper eyelid surgery corrects the drooping or sagging skin on the upper eyelid.
Lower eyelid surgery is an excellent solution if your primary concern is puffiness under the eyes, which causes a tired look.

Lower eyelid surgery is an excellent solution if your primary concern is puffiness under the eyes, which causes a tired look.
Blepharoplasty is a type of eyelid surgery, and is done to remove loose eyelid skin, reposition fat, and tighten the muscles of the eyelid. This can be done with the upper lids, lower lids, or both.
Wake up every morning feeling refreshed with a simple upper and/or lower eyelid lift.
Blepharoplasty generally runs CAD$4,352–CAD$10,200 per procedure, and each Calgary clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Calgary clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Calgary providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Pull the skin under your eye gently downward and outward while looking in a mirror. If the darkness or shadow disappears, you are dealing with a hollow or a contour issue, which filler can often address. If a bulge remains or the skin itself is loose and crepey, that is tissue, and only surgery removes tissue. Upper lids follow the same logic: if skin rests on your lashes or folds over the crease, no injectable will lift it meaningfully.
Sometimes, for upper eyelids only, and only when the hooding is severe enough to obstruct vision. That requires a documented visual field test showing the obstruction, performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Lower blepharoplasty is considered cosmetic in essentially all cases. Ask the surgeon's office to run the insurance verification before you assume either way, because the answer varies by carrier and by how much field loss the test shows.
Upper blepharoplasty results typically hold for 10 to 15 years, and many patients never need a revision. Lower blepharoplasty is often effectively permanent for the fat that was removed, since those fat pads do not regrow. What continues is normal aging of the surrounding skin, which is why some patients pair surgery with resurfacing or continue with skincare afterward.
Temporary dry eye is the most common complaint and usually resolves within weeks. Less common issues include asymmetry between the two sides, visible scarring in patients prone to it, and in lower-lid surgery, a pulled-down appearance to the lid margin called ectropion, which is uncommon in experienced hands but is the main reason lower blepharoplasty rewards surgeon selection. Serious complications affecting vision are rare. Discuss your specific risk factors, including dry eye history and thyroid conditions, at consultation.
Both plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and oculoplastic surgeons, who are ophthalmologists with additional fellowship training in eyelid and orbital surgery, perform this operation regularly. For lower-lid work in particular, oculoplastic training is a genuine advantage worth asking about. Either way, confirm the certification directly rather than relying on a website description.
