Blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, and in some cases fat or muscle, from the upper eyelid area. It may be considered for functional reasons, such as when excess skin affects vision, or for cosmetic reasons to change the appearance of the upper eyelids.

Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping or ear pinning, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that focuses on correcting the shape, size, or position of the ears.

Facial surgery — including blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), otoplasty (ear surgery), and other facial procedures — carries potential risks and complications, which may include:

Bleeding / Haematoma: Excessive bleeding during or after surgery may lead to blood collecting under the skin, sometimes requiring drainage.

Infection: Risk at the incision sites, usually managed with antibiotics.

Scarring: All surgery leaves scars, though incisions are placed to be as discreet as possible; scar visibility varies with individual healing.

Changes in Sensation: Temporary or permanent numbness or altered sensation in the surgical area.

Asymmetry: Subtle differences in shape or position may remain after surgery.
