Dr. Kristina Zakhary is specialty trained in Blepharoplasty Surgery and uses her artistic skill to remove excess fat and skin from around the eyelids to give you a more refreshed look and restore your youthful appearance.
Blepharoplasty Surgery is the most common cosmetic eyelid surgery, and is commonly referred to as an Eyelid tuck or Eyelid Lift. It is a cosmetic facial plastic surgery which is designed to remove excess fat and skin from around the eyelids to give you a more refreshed look. To achieve the best results, upper eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty) can be combined with Forehead lift or Brow lift surgery.
Blepharoplasty is used to improve the effects of aging around the eyelids, such as the drooping and sagging of upper eyelid skin, or the excess fat that create bags in the lower eyelid area. Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Lift surgery can also be used in younger patients, as hooded upper eyelid skin or excess fat around the eyes are not exclusively attributed to aging.
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) corrects the hooding, bulges and wrinkles around your eyes, resulting in a more rested and youthful appearance. It may also relieve your eyes from the extra weight of excess skin, muscle or fat, leading to a youthful appearance, and less eye fatigue.
Dr Zakhary performs eyelid surgery under local anesthesia or sedation anesthesia, in a fully accredited surgical facility in Calgary, Alberta.
Immediately following your blepharoplasty surgery, you may experience some itching, dry eyes, eye tearing, drooping eyelids, swelling or bleeding. Dr. Zakhary will prescribe medications to help keep you very comfortable and safe during your recovery.
Do not be alarmed if you develop tiny pimples along the scar line. These tiny pimples are called Milia and they usually disappear a few days after surgery. Blepharoplasty or Eyelid lift surgery is carried out on the eyelid, and not on the eye itself. This is why visual impairment is only a very remote and rare possibility.
Dr. Zakhary also offers other non surgical facial cosmetic procedure options in Calgary to rejuvenate your eyelids, such as wrinkles reduction injections or Fillers (like Restylane and Perlane).
An alternative or complementary surgical procedure, which also corrects droopy eyelids is the Brow Lift procedure. Low eyebrows can worsen the appearance of hooded upper eyelids and deepen the wrinkles in your forehead area. Low brows and a wrinkled forehead are often corrected together with eyelid blepharoplasty surgery or a facelift operation.

I never imagined my chin would one day feel like an unsolved riddle — a stray element in an otherwise familiar face. Yet, after many moments of self-scrutiny, I found myself wondering: Could the very line of my lower face be gently reengineered to better mirror who I truly am?
In the mirror, our skin tells a tale that is uniquely ours — a quiet record of laughter, struggles, and moments of introspection. Yet there comes a time when these time-wrought marks, delicate etchings that capture the essence of lived experience, begin to feel less like a proud narrative and more like an unwanted signature.
The holiday season is a time for joy, laughter, and making lasting memories with family and friends. But with the flurry of gatherings, office parties, and holiday photos, many people start paying closer attention to their appearance. If you want to look refreshed and radiant this season, injectable dermal fillers offer a non-surgical, quick, and effective way to enhance your glow.
Although aging is a natural and arguably normal process, for many people the obvious indicators of aging can seriously affect confidence, mood and self-image. Although a good skincare regimen preserves good skin, it cannot restore lost volume or smooth deep-set lines. Dermal fillers then become quite helpful.

Botox is a powerful neuromodulator designed to relax overactive facial muscles. It’s commonly used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead creases, and frown lines. Over the past decade, Botox treatment for the face has become the gold standard for individuals seeking a minimally invasive approach to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing surgery.
