Transform your look
What is blepharoplasty / Upper eyelid surgery?
Blepharoplasty, or upper eyelid surgery, is a safe and effective solution for those facing the problem of drooping eyelid skin, which can affect not only the aesthetic appearance but also the functionality of vision.
Why is upper eyelid surgery the right solution for you?
Drooping skin of the upper eyelids can give a tired and older appearance to the face, and in some cases, even limit the field of vision. Blepharoplasty allows you to permanently resolve this issue, with effects that can last up to 15 years.
Preparation and Procedure
Preparation for upper eyelid surgery
Before the surgery, our team will thoroughly analyze your condition and, using specialized devices, precisely determine how much skin needs to be removed. It’s important to avoid medications that can affect blood clotting, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
The procedure for upper eyelid surgery
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, where excess skin and fat tissue are carefully removed. An incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, making the scar almost invisible. The procedure typically lasts up to one hour, and results are visible within a few days, with final effects achieved about three weeks after the surgery.
