As we age, sagging eyelid skin and the formation of bags under the eyes can alter facial appearance and, in some cases, cause eye strain. Blepharoplasty offers a permanent solution to these problems.
During the pre-operative visit, the surgeon evaluates the extent of skin laxity, the presence of fat bags, and the quality of the tissue, deciding whether to operate on the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both.
- Duration: 1/2 hour
- Anesthesia: room with sedation
- Day surgery: yes (without overnight shelter)
The procedure involves removing excess skin, eliminating or repositioning fat deposits, and reshaping the tissues to achieve a natural, harmonious result.
The scars are very discreet: on the upper eyelid they are hidden inside the tarsal fold, while on the lower eyelid they are positioned along the lash margin or inside the conjunctiva, making them practically invisible.
The postoperative recovery is generally rapid and well tolerated. Expected recovery times vary based on the individual's response. Generally:
- Resumption of light activities: about 5 days
- Progressive stabilization of the result in the following weeks
