Eyelid Aesthetics

As age progresses, patients often experience droopy eyelids. This is because the skin on the eyelids loses its elasticity. Among other factors, lifestyle, heredity, allergies, kidney disease and skin type also play a role in the occurrence of droopy eyelids. In addition to aesthetic problems, droopy eyelids also cause a narrow field of vision, tired eyes and headaches.

Blepharoplasty is a set of plastic surgery applications applied to the upper and lower eyelids, removing sagging skin and excess muscle tissue and stretching the tissues around the eyes.

With aesthetic surgery of the eyelids, you can achieve a youthful appearance and better vision.

COURSE OF SURGERY
The operation is performed under local anaesthesia.

We surgically remove excess skin from the eyelids and correct fat deposits if necessary.

We treat the wound and close it with a plaster cast and sterile drape.

The patient goes home after the operation, hospitalisation is not required.

During the first 24-48 hours after the operation, a cold compress is applied to the eyes and the patient remains in rest mode. The next day the eyelid is removed, the postoperative wound is treated and, if necessary, an eye patch is left on the eye for five days. At the end of this period, the patient is checked by a doctor and the stitches are removed. Only then can the eyelids come into contact with water.

Swelling and bruising may occur for 2-3 weeks after the operation. The eyes should not be exposed to direct sunlight for at least two months, otherwise there is a risk of darkening of the scars. Physical exercise and sports activity is not recommended earlier than two weeks or according to the doctor. The result of the surgery stabilises after 4-8 weeks, when the scar almost completely disappears.

ADVANTAGES:
• Fast and professional way to lift sagging eyelids
• Performed under local anaesthesia
• Improving vision, widening the field of vision
• Visible facial rejuvenation
• The operation is performed on an outpatient basis, the patient goes home after the operation.

WHO IS SUITABLE FOR
Eyelid aesthetics or blepharoplasty is open to anyone who wants to rejuvenate the face for a few years. Sagging eyelids are mostly a problem of older people; however, plastic surgery is a solution for those with hormonal disorders, hereditary predispositions or poor lifestyle. Blepharoplasty does not change the eyelid structure, it only removes excess skin and possibly fat bags.
