Facial surgery

Blepharoplasty

Giving the eyes a rested look without altering the expression.

Blepharoplasty treats excess skin and bags on the upper and lower eyelids. It is one of the facial procedures with the best balance between the change achieved and how discreet the recovery is.

The approach

Incisions are hidden in the eyelid's natural crease or made transconjunctivally, leaving no external scar. Repositioning the fat is prioritised over removing it, to avoid a hollow look.

Recovery

Relative rest for three days. Most patients resume their activity between the seventh and tenth day. The scar remains hidden in the eyelid crease.

Who it's for

  • A drooping upper eyelid that feels heavy or reduces the field of vision.
  • Under-eye bags and a marked tear trough that convey permanent tiredness.
  • People who want a clear improvement without changing their features.
