Oculoplastic surgery is a highly specialized field of medicine that focuses on the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids, orbit (eye socket), and tear ducts. Dr. A Galal combines ophthalmic precision with aesthetic artistry to deliver safe, functional, and visually natural outcomes.

Most patients recover from eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) within 7 to 10 days, after which they can typically return to social and professional activities. Mild swelling and bruising are completely normal and will progressively fade over 2 to 3 weeks.

While an upper blepharoplasty cannot stop the natural aging process, its rejuvenating effects are extremely long-lasting—often lasting 10 to 15 years, and in many cases, permanently. Lower eyelid surgery to correct under-eye bags rarely needs to be repeated.

No, a medical referral is not required to schedule an aesthetic or private consultation. You can book directly with our team, either for an in-person clinic visit or an initial virtual assessment if you are traveling internationally.

Minimizing visible scars is a core priority. For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are precisely placed within the natural crease of the eyelid. For lower eyelid surgery, incisions are often hidden inside the eyelid (transconjunctival) or right under the lash line, making them virtually invisible once healed.
