BLEPHAROPLASTY

What is Blepharoplasty?

 

 

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed on the eyelids. It may involve:

 

• the upper eyelids

• the lower eyelids

• or both upper and lower eyelids

 

 

The goal is to restore a more refreshed and youthful eye area while respecting the natural anatomy and unique features of each face.

 

 

Who is a good candidate?

 

 

Blepharoplasty may be suitable for patients who have:

 

• excess skin of the upper eyelids

• a heavy or tired-looking gaze

• puffiness or “bags” under the eyes

• laxity of the lower eyelids

• signs of ageing around the eyes

• in some cases, impaired visual field due to marked upper eyelid skin excess

 

 

A detailed consultation is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual.

 

 

Upper Blepharoplasty

 

 

Upper blepharoplasty is designed to correct excess skin and heaviness of the upper eyelids.

The incision is typically placed within the natural crease of the eyelid so that, once healed, it remains discreet.

 

This procedure can create a more open, rested, and refreshed appearance and, in some cases, may also improve the sensation of heaviness in the eyelid area.

 

 

Lower Blepharoplasty

 

 

Lower blepharoplasty addresses concerns such as:

 

• under-eye bags

• fat prominence

• loose skin beneath the eyes

• a tired or aged appearance of the lower eyelid area

 

 

Depending on the anatomy and needs of the patient, the procedure may be performed through an external or internal approach.

 

 

How is the procedure performed?

 

 

Blepharoplasty is performed using an individualized approach based on each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.

It may be carried out under local anaesthesia, sedation, or, in selected cases, general anaesthesia.

 

During the procedure, excess skin is removed and, when indicated, fat and supporting tissues are carefully adjusted to achieve a natural, elegant, and balanced result.

 

 

Recovery

 

 

After blepharoplasty, it is normal to experience for a few days:

 

• mild swelling

• bruising

• a feeling of tightness around the eyes

 

 

Most patients return to their daily activities relatively quickly, while the appearance continues to improve gradually as swelling subsides.

 

Recovery varies from patient to patient, and detailed postoperative instructions are always provided.

 

 

Results

 

 

The results of blepharoplasty typically include:

 

• a more rested appearance

• brighter and fresher-looking eyes

• a more youthful eye contour

• natural rejuvenation without an overdone look

 

 

The aim is always to refresh the face while maintaining natural expression and harmony.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Does blepharoplasty change the shape of the eyes?

When properly planned and performed, blepharoplasty is not intended to change the identity of the face, but rather to improve heaviness, excess skin, and the tired appearance around the eyes.

​

Is blepharoplasty painful?

The procedure is generally well tolerated. Postoperative discomfort is usually mild and manageable with the appropriate care and medication.

​

Will the scars be visible?

Incisions are placed as discreetly as possible. With proper healing, scars usually become very fine and minimally visible over time.

​

When will I see the final result?

Improvement is visible early on, but the final result develops progressively as swelling resolves completely and healing matures.

 

 

A Personalized Approach

 

 

Every face is unique, and the eye area requires precision, careful planning, and refined surgical technique.

The most appropriate approach is determined after a thorough consultation, so that the result is natural, safe, and tailored to your individual needs.
