EYELIDS - BLEPHAROPLASTY

​

The passage of time brings weight and a tired aspect to one’s look. The extra skin creates folds and irregularities in the eyelids, and the greater accumulation of fat casts shadows under the eyes.

​

In your pre-surgical examination, we need to rule out functional problems such as weakness and asymmetry of the muscles responsible for opening the eyelids. The lower eyelids become more fragile, with bags, dark circles that accentuate with age.

Each change requires a specific technical alternative or approach, in order to be appropriate for your case, to rescue a more youthful look, to soften dark circles and

to strengthen the muscles, therefore minimizing asymmetries.

The main focus is to restore lightness to your look, also enhancing your reading and vision.

 

PROCEDURE

Your scars will be positioned according to the natural crease of your upper eyelids, being close to the lashes of your lower eyelids. It is possible to remove the bags from your lower eyelids without external scarring, by means of a transconjunctival approach.

 

ANESTHESIA

Local anesthesia with or without sedation.

The surgery lasts around 1 hour and a half. You will stay in the recovery room for 2 to 4 hours.

 

POST OPERATORY

Most of the swelling starts to be reabsorbed after 48 hours. 

Eye lubrication must start  immediately.

A rejuvenating  pharmacological eyelid topical treatment should follow.
