Blepharoplasty Eyelid surgery
About the Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures for aesthetic correction. As we age, the skin around our eyes loses elasticity and facial muscles relax, causing both the upper and lower eyelids to sag or form “bags” around the eyes. Because this issue Blepharoplasty Eyelid surgery is so common.
This surgery is popular among everyone who want to achieve a fresher, rejuvenated facial appearance.
How the Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery is Performed
Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery involves removing sagging skin and excess fat bags around the eyes, tightening relaxed muscles, and creating a more youthful look. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan. Typically, surgeons perform the operation under local anesthesia when correcting only the lower eyelids.
For upper eyelid corrections, the surgeon makes an incision in the crease of the eyelid, ensuring it remains hidden after the procedure. They remove excess skin and any herniated fatty sacs before suturing the incision.
For the lower eyelid, the incision is made just below the lashes or, in certain cases, inside the lash line. The surgeon then removes or redistributes excess fat and sagging skin, closing the incision with an aesthetic suture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before the procedure
Your surgeon will give you detailed information for the preoperative preparation a few weeks prior to your plastic surgery.
The most important advice for smokers is to stop smoking for at least 2 weeks (or 4 weeks and even more, if possible). Smoking prevents healing and increases the risk of complications. You should not smoke until the wounds heal well, at least two weeks after surgery.
You should stop taking aspirin or medicine containing aspirin, antiflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they all increase the risk of bleeding. Your surgeon will advise you how long prior to the operation you should stop taking these medicines.
High blood pressure also needs to be well controlled during surgery. So if your blood pressure is elevated, you should discuss it with your surgeon.
It is extremely important to discuss your expectations with your plastic surgeon. This will allow him to assess whether they are achievable with the selected procedure. In some cases, two or three sessions may be needed to achieve the desired effect, and in others – it may be necessary to combine procedures for a better result.
You will be accompanied by an employee of ours to the clinic and where you are staying before and after the operation.
Aftercare and Recovery from Blepharoplasty
After the procedure, the eyes are not bandaged. Vision may be slightly blurred due to the local anesthetic being used. Therefore, you should not drive for the first 24 hours after surgery. The sutures can be removed after a few days, as the skin of the eyelids heals extremely quickly. Hematomas will decrease significantly within the first 7 days. Swelling accompanies each operation. If the patient experiences swelling around the cheekbones, it may persist for 1-2 months, but will certainly eventually be resorbed.
The operation itself is not painful and the measures described below aim to reduce the temporary swelling. Wearing a cold compress immediately after surgery and sitting in bed for the first night are helpful, but do not affect the end result. The eye may have a „watery“ appearance due to the swelling around the tear ducts, which naturally drain the tears in the nose. Due to the operation they swell and temporarily block. This is also temporary and usually lasts one day.
You can resume physical exercise after 2 weeks.
For the first 2 weeks, it is good to sleep on your back with your upper body slightly raised.
Upon completion of your surgery, you will receive complete and detailed oral and written instructions regarding all aspects of your recovery.
What are the risks?
Every surgical procedure involves certain risks and it is important to understand their nature before proceeding. You should discuss any existing medical issues with your surgeon. It is wise to avoid aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs for 10 days before surgery, as this may increase the risk of bleeding.
Infections are rare in this surgery and can be treated with antibiotic eye drops and ointment.
Watery eye (epiphora) – the tear ducts, which usually drain into the nose, will temporarily become blocked due to swelling. In addition, swelling can give the eye a „watery“ appearance due to fluid under the conjunctiva. This can take a week or two.
Ectropion – swelling after surgery can cause the lower eyelid to sag and push the eyelid away from the eyeball. It usually subsides when the swelling subsides and can be aided by massage maneuvers in the area. This problem can occur in older patients as well as exist preoperatively. There are operational procedures for its correction.
