Specialists in Blepharoplasty

Overview of Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance and function of eyelids by removing excess skin and fat that can cause tired appearance or interfere with vision. With a satisfaction rate above 95%, this procedure not only rejuvenates the eye area but can also significantly improve visual field in cases of drooping eyelids.

Evaluation and Decision Process

The decision to undergo blepharoplasty should consider both aesthetic and functional aspects. The main signs indicating the need for the procedure include excess eyelid skin, prominent fat bags, reduced visual field, and constantly tired appearance. Non-surgical alternatives, such as botulinum toxin treatments or fillers, can complement but not replace surgery in more pronounced cases.

Procedure Preparation

Preparation involves a complete ophthalmological evaluation, including tear production test and visual field examination. It's essential to stop medications that affect blood clotting and follow all eye care guidelines in the weeks leading up to surgery.

The Surgical Procedure

Surgery can be performed on upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on individual needs. Precise techniques are used to remove excess skin and fat, repositioning tissues for a natural result. The procedure typically takes between 1 to 3 hours, performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Recovery Process

Initial recovery requires special attention to eye care, including eye drops, cold compresses, and head elevation. Swelling and possible bruising are common in the first days but improve significantly after the first week.
