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 and help you get home, as your vision may be temporarily blurred after the operation, or your eyes may be sensitive to light.
Mainly aesthetic and functional problems associated with aging, sagging skin, and accumulation of fatty tissue in the eye area. The main problems that blepharoplasty addresses:
- Excess skin on the upper eyelids – causes a tired appearance and, in severe cases, restricts peripheral vision.
- Drooping eyelids (ptosis) – can make you look sad or tired and sometimes impair your vision.
- Fat pads and "bags under the eyes" – excessive accumulation of fat under the eyes causes swelling and a tired appearance.
- Fine wrinkles and sagging skin – especially in the lower eye area, where skin elasticity is lost over time.
- Upper eyelids – removes excess skin and fat pads from the upper eyelids. Often performed in cases of limited vision caused by drooping skin.
- Lower eyelids – removes or redistributes fat pads under the eyes, eliminating the effect of "bags under the eyes" and softening wrinkles.
Especially for people with excess skin on their upper eyelids, which can cause a tired appearance or restrict 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 active skin infections in the eye area, autoimmune diseases, and people with poor overall health. If there is a predisposition to excessive scarring (keloids), it may be better to consider alternative methods.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin and fat pads. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty involves adjusting the position of the fatty tissue and/or removing excess tissue.
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. After the procedure, mild swelling and bruising are common and will gradually subside. For the first few days, it is recommended to cool the eyes, rest, and avoid dusty environments. The stitches are removed after 5–10 days.
During the operation, the patient may feel slight pressure, touch, and warmth in the operated area. Increased sensitivity and mild pain may occur after the anesthetic wears off. In this case, it is recommended to cool the eyes with cold compresses and, if necessary, take analgesics (e.g., Novalgin, Ibuprofen).
