Blepharoplasty

Eyelids and eye bags treatment

If you’re unhappy with droopy eyelids or under-eye bags, blepharoplasty can correct these issues effectively. This surgery not only removes sagging skin but also reduces the tired appearance often caused by dark under-eye circles. You can choose between different techniques, based on your needs.

Upper eyelid correction involves removing excess skin through an incision made along the eyelid’s natural crease. If needed, the surgeon also reshapes the underlying muscle. The incision is closed with fine sutures.
Lower eyelid correction targets eye bags. The surgeon makes an incision just below the lashes, hiding it within natural laugh lines. Excess fat and skin are removed, and fat may be repositioned to fill the hollow area often known as “dark circles.” Dissolvable stitches are typically used.
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is ideal when under-eye bags appear without excess skin. The incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar. This technique preserves the natural look and avoids skin removal.

During your consultation, the doctor will help you choose the most suitable method for your eyelids and aesthetic goals.The upper eyelid procedure lasts about 45–60 minutes and is done under local anesthesia. Blepharoplasty can also be combined with other treatments like chin liposuction or fat injections in areas such as the under-eyes, cheekbones, or smile lines.

Pre-Operative Preparation

During your consultation, inform the surgeon about any medication allergies. Also, mention any medications you are taking that could affect the surgery. A few days before the operation, you will undergo pre-operative exams to assess your health.
At least two weeks before surgery, stop taking medications with Acetylsalicylic Acid (e.g., Aspirin, Vivin C, Cardiospirin) and discontinue oral anticoagulants. Always consult your doctor before stopping any prescribed medication.
Quit smoking at least two weeks before the procedure. The day before surgery, take a shower, remove gel or nail polish, and avoid eating or drinking for at least 8 hours before the operation.
Wear comfortable clothes with buttons or zippers on the day of surgery.

Post-Surgical Recovery

After blepharoplasty, patients should keep their head elevated for a few days and stay in a cool environment. The clinic staff will remove the sutures about three to five days after surgery. Swelling and bruising can last one to two weeks, depending on the patient.

Most patients return to work within five to seven days. However, we recommend taking a full week of rest for optimal recovery.
