Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a technique that corrects drooping upper eyelids and the sagging that occurs in the lower eyelids through a surgical process. With this procedure, we improve the aesthetic aspect of the eyes that makes us look older than we really are. It can even help correct vision problems caused by extremely drooping upper eyelids (palpebral ptosis).

If you want to take care of your looks, it is essential to focus on eye care. With the passing of time, folds and bags begin to appear in the eyelids, ageing the eyes. With blepharoplasty, it is possible to correct excess skin in the drooping upper eyelids and the bags of fat that appear in the lower eyelids.

Who is this surgery intended for??

Patients who undergo blepharoplasty are usually over 35 years of age, although it is true that there are younger patients who undergo this surgery because they are genetically predisposed to this problem. All patients with baggy eyelids and/or drooping eyelids due to excess skin will be able to solve their aesthetic problem and improve their self-confidence. However, it is not only indicated for rejuvenating the eyes, but also for improving the field of vision by eliminating the sensation of heaviness in the upper eyelid.

Postoperative period

After surgery, an ointment is applied to the eyes to lubricate them along with a soft bandage. It is very important to keep the head elevated for a few days after surgery and to apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and haematoma. Stitches are removed after 5-6 days. The swelling and haematoma will gradually diminish until it disappears completely and most patients who undergo blepharoplasty begin reading or watching television within two to three days. After the operation you may feel uncomfortable wearing contact lenses, but in time you will return to normal life. Return to work usually takes a week or 10 days, depending on the case.
