On the day of the procedure, the patient should arrive without makeup, face creams, or contact lenses. It is recommended to arrange for someone to accompany you who can help drive you home, as your vision may be temporarily blurred or your eyes may be sensitive to light after the surgery.
In particular, aesthetic and functional issues associated with aging, sagging skin, and the accumulation of fatty tissue around the eyes. The main issues that blepharoplasty addresses:
- Excess skin on the upper eyelids—causes a tired appearance and, in severe cases, limits peripheral vision.
- Drooping eyelids (ptosis) – can make a person look sad or tired and sometimes even impair vision.
- Fat deposits and “under-eye bags”—excessive fat accumulation under the eyes causes puffiness and a tired appearance.
- Fine lines and sagging skin—especially around the lower eyes, where the skin loses its elasticity over time.
- Upper Eyelids – Removes sagging skin and fat deposits from the upper eyelids. This procedure is often performed to correct limited vision caused by sagging skin.
- Lower Eyelids – removes or redistributes fat pads under the eyes, thereby eliminating the “under-eye bags” effect and softening wrinkles.
This procedure is particularly suitable for people with excess skin on their upper eyelids, which can cause a tired appearance or limit peripheral vision. The procedure is also suitable for those who have swollen lower eyelids or so-called “bags” under the eyes caused by the accumulation of fatty tissue.
It is not recommended for people with active skin infections around the eyes, autoimmune diseases, or those with poor overall health. If there is a predisposition to excessive scar formation (keloids), it may be better to consider alternative methods.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. During upper eyelid blepharoplasty, excess skin and fat pads are removed. During lower eyelid blepharoplasty, the position of the fatty tissue is adjusted and/or excess fat is removed.
Blepharoplasty is an effective procedure that helps remove excess skin, fat, and wrinkles around the eyes, giving the patient a fresher and more youthful appearance. Mild swelling and bruising are common after the procedure and will gradually subside. For the first few days, it is recommended to apply cold compresses to the eyes, rest as much as possible, and avoid dusty environments. The stitches are removed after 5–10 days.
During the procedure, the patient may feel mild pressure, touch, and warmth in the area being operated on. Increased sensitivity and mild pain may occur after the anesthetic wears off; in such cases, it is recommended to cool the eyes with cold compresses and, if necessary, take pain relievers (such as Novalgin or Ibuprofen).
