Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects drooping upper eyelids and bags under the eyes. This surgery improves the appearance of the eyes, addressing issues that can make us look older than we are. It can even help correct vision problems caused by severely drooping upper eyelids (ptosis).

Who is this surgery intended for?

Patients who undergo blepharoplasty are typically over 35, although some younger patients do have this surgery because they are genetically predisposed to the problem. All patients with bags under their eyes and/or drooping eyelids due to excess skin will find their aesthetic concern resolved, improving their self-confidence. While blepharoplasty is indicated not only for rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes, it also improves the field of vision by eliminating the feeling of heaviness in the upper eyelid.

How it works

Book your personalized consultation

During the first consultation, the specialist will assess the condition of your eyelids and analyze your aesthetic needs to determine if blepharoplasty is the right treatment.

Comprehensive assessment and treatment planning

The structure of the eyelid, the quality of the skin, and the presence of bags are studied to design a personalized surgical plan.

Safe and advanced surgical procedure

Surgery removes excess skin and fat deposits from the eyelids to rejuvenate the eyes and improve their appearance.

Post-operative care and recovery

Following the procedure, specific care is indicated to reduce inflammation and promote a quick and safe recovery.

Follow-up for optimal results

Follow-up reviews are conducted to check progress and ensure the best results.

Postoperative

After surgery, an ointment is applied to the eyes to lubricate them, and a soft bandage is applied. It is very important to keep your head elevated for a few days after surgery and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising. The stitches are removed after 5-6 days. The swelling and bruising will gradually decrease until they disappear completely, and most patients who undergo blepharoplasty can begin reading or watching television within 2 or 3 days. You may feel some discomfort wearing contact lenses after the operation, but you will gradually return to normal activities. You can usually return to work within a week to 10 days, depending on the individual case.
