Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

In aesthetic surgery of the upper eyelid, the incision is made exactly where the upper eyelid folds. To correct the lower eyelid, an incision can be made from the inside of the eyelid or along the lash line (yellow lines in the photo). In both eyelids, the loose eye muscles are then repaired and the excess skin and fatty tissue are cut away and removed.

With eyelid surgery, it is possible to achieve a more attractive appearance by changing the shape of the eyes (eyelift), if necessary and if the client wishes.

In some people with hollow areas around the eyes, the existing fatty tissue will not be removed, but special fat injections can give the area a more aesthetic appearance. If there is a gap between the nose-cheek area and the contour of the eye, this problem can be solved with implants (a special product) that are manufactured for this purpose.

Will any scars remain after eyelid surgery?

We can say that almost no scars remain on the eyelid, because the skin of the eyelid is very thin. The stitches are removed on the fifth or seventh day. Once the stitches have been removed, you can bring out the beauty of your eyes with eye make-up as you wish, and it is easy to apply. The scar gradually fades within 3-4 months, leaving only a light pink mark. After a while this discolouration disappears. If the operation is performed through the inside of the eyelid, there are no scars.

Eyelid surgery must be performed by specialists in aesthetic and plastic surgery.
