Blepharoplasty
What is Blepharoplasty?
The eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess fat and/or skin from the upper and lower eyelids. It improves droopy eyelids and puffy bags below the eyes, features that may make you look older and more tired than you feel. It may be combined with an eyebrow lift to correct drooping eyebrows.

Healing and Recovery for an eyelid lift
-
All sutures are usually removed within 7 days.
-
Initial discomfort is usually mild and controlled with oral medication.
-
Bruising and sensitivity to light usually subside within 1-2 weeks.
-
Swelling usually disappears within 2 weeks.
-
Eye makeup may be used following suture removal and healing of the incisions. Old makeup should be discarded as it may promote bacterial growth and postoperative infection.
-
Contact lenses can be worn when comfortable and sutures have been removed—usually 7-10 days.
Fat and skin excess is removed
from upper eyelid,
using an S-type cut that
it is subsequently sutured with a
very thin thread.
In the long run the scar is almost imperceptible.
When there is only excess of skin, or excess of skin with herniation of the fat bags of the lower eyelid, the transcutaneous route is used to eliminate them. Likewise, a very thin suture is used to leave an almost imperceptible scar.
If there is only herniation of the fat bags of the lower eyelid but there is no excess of skin, we can use the route inside the eyelid or transconjunctival, where there is no visible scar.
