What Is Blepharoplasty? A Guide Every Beauty Professional Should Read

Date: August 5, 2025

Blepharoplasty

In the ever-evolving beauty industry, staying informed is just as important as staying skilled. While new products and techniques come and go, certain cosmetic procedures—like blepharoplasty are redefining the standards of timeless beauty.

Even though Orane International does not offer surgical procedure training courses like blepharoplasty, we strongly believe that students enrolled in any beauty course, cosmetology course, or makeup course must understand what this treatment is, who it’s for, and how it complements the work you’ll do in the beauty and wellness field.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Let’s start with the basics.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical eyelid correction procedure. This beauty plus eye surgical procedure involves removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. The goal? A more youthful, rested, and natural appearance around the eyes.

There are two main types:

  • Upper Blepharoplasty – This corrects drooping upper eyelids that can make a person look tired or even obstruct their vision.
  • Lower Blepharoplasty – This targets puffiness, under-eye bags, or sagging lower eyelid skin.

Many people refer to blepharoplasty as an “eyelid lift”, but it’s much more precise than that. It’s a customisable surgery tailored to each individual’s facial structure and ageing concerns.

Who Is Blepharoplasty For?

Understanding who blepharoplasty is for is crucial, especially if you’re pursuing a career in beauty or wellness.

This procedure isn’t just for older adults. It’s increasingly popular among:

  • Men and women aged 40–70 looking to reverse signs of aging around the eyes.
  • Young adults in their 20s and 30s who have hereditary under-eye puffiness or hooded eyelids.
  • Professionals and public figures who want to appear alert, well-rested, and confident.
  • People whose vision is affected by drooping eyelid skin.
  • Clients who are combining non-invasive beauty treatments with minor surgical enhancements.

As a beauty professional, you’ll often meet clients who are considering this surgery or have recently had it done. Knowing how to approach these conversations with understanding and confidence builds trust and sets you apart.

So why do people opt for this procedure? Several advantages of blepharoplasty go beyond just the aesthetic.

Cosmetic Benefits:

  • Brighter, more youthful eyes
  • A reduction in under-eye puffiness and sagging
  • Smoother eyelid contours for better makeup application
  • Enhanced facial symmetry and expression
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking results

Functional Benefits:

  • Improved peripheral vision (especially with upper eyelid surgery)
  • Less heaviness or fatigue around the eyes
  • Improved comfort while applying eye products or wearing makeup

Emotional and Professional Benefits:

  • Boosted self-esteem
  • Renewed confidence in appearance
  • Often leads to better first impressions in personal and professional life

When you’re in the beauty industry, understanding the physical and emotional impact of such treatments helps you connect more meaningfully with your clients.

Why You Should Know This as a Beauty Professional

You might ask, “If I’m doing makeup or facials, why should I learn about surgical treatments?”

Here’s why.

The beauty industry today doesn’t work in isolation, and clients come in after trying everything—skin care, lasers, Botox, fillers, even surgery. You’re not just applying foundation or recommending a facial; you’re becoming part of a client’s holistic beauty journey.

If you’re trained through a cosmetology course, makeup course, or beauty course at Orane International, you’ll:

  • Understand facial anatomy—essential when working on post-surgery clients
  • Know how to adjust your makeup techniques for skin that’s healing, tightened, or sensitive.
  • Learn to use products that complement cosmetic treatments (e.g., color correction for post-op bruising, gentle skincare for sensitized skin)
  • Build credibility as a beauty expert who understands both surface-level treatments and deeper interventions.

By learning how to support and enhance post-procedure appearances, you bring real value to your services.
