The eyes play a crucial role in the first impression we make. They are often one of the first things others notice about us. As we age, surrounding structures of the eyes, such as the eyelids, change. The skin of the upper eyelids weakens and begins to droop, which can give a tired and aged appearance. This process, common with aging, can even lead to functional problems such as limiting the field of vision. Fortunately, upper eyelid surgery can effectively address this problem. At our clinic, the procedure is performed only by an experienced surgeon. During the procedure, excess skin is removed from the upper eyelids, restoring an open and fresh appearance to the eyes.
An upper eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that focuses on removing excess skin, and if necessary, muscle and fat tissue from the upper eyelids. This surgery is intended to give the eyes a more youthful and alert appearance. Depending on the degree of sagging and excess skin, the surgeon may choose to remove only skin, or address the underlying muscle and fat tissue as well.
Upper eyelid surgery offers significant cosmetic and functional benefits. In addition to improving aesthetic appearance by reducing a tired look, the procedure can also help relieve discomforts such as dry eyes and improve visual field.
During the consultation, our plastic surgeon will carefully assess the situation of your eyelids. This is a crucial step because each client has unique characteristics and expectations. It is important to clearly discuss your wishes and expectations during this consultation. The surgeon will explain the best approach for your specific situation and what results you can expect. This will include a discussion of whether only excess skin should be removed, or whether underlying muscle or fat tissue will also be removed.
The procedure itself is relatively simple and is performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, excess skin is carefully measured and removed. If necessary, the underlying muscle and fat tissue is also addressed. This may mean lifting muscle and removing or redistributing excess fat for optimal results. The incision is then closed with fine sutures, which are removed after about a week. The result is a smoother and more youthful eye area that gives you a fresher and more rested appearance.
The cost of upper eyelid surgery varies and depends on the complexity of the procedure:
These prices reflect the different levels of complexity in the procedure, depending on the amount of skin, muscle, and fat to be corrected.
At our clinic, we follow a careful step-by-step plan to ensure that you go through the entire process well-informed and comfortable:
1
Free consultation: During this consultation, our surgeon discusses the possible options and results. A detailed assessment of your eyelids is also performed to determine which approach is best for you.
2
Scheduling the treatment: After the consultation, a suitable time for the procedure is scheduled. This takes into account your schedule and the time you need for recovery.
3
Pre-operative talk: Just before the procedure, a conversation takes place in which all the steps of the procedure are reviewed again. Any questions or concerns are discussed.
4
The procedure: The procedure itself takes place under local anesthesia and usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. The surgeon removes excess skin and performs a muscle or fat flap if necessary.
5
Aftercare: After the procedure, you will be given detailed instructions for aftercare. It is important to follow this advice carefully for optimal recovery and results. Any swelling and bruising may persist for several days to weeks, but this is normal.
6
Check-up: One week after the procedure, a check-up with our plastic surgeon takes place. During this appointment, the sutures are removed and the healing process is evaluated.
After surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising in the treated area. This is normal and will disappear over time. It is important to take it easy after the procedure and avoid strenuous physical activity to promote recovery. You will be given specific instructions on how to care for your eyelids, including avoiding direct sun exposure and using cold compresses to reduce swelling.
Most people find that they are able to resume daily activities within a few days to a week. Makeup can be applied again after about a week, once the stitches have been removed and the wound has healed properly. It is also advisable not to wear contact lenses in the first few weeks after surgery, as this can interfere with the recovery process.
Upper eyelid surgery not only provides immediate cosmetic benefits, but also helps maintain a youthful and energetic appearance for the long term. The results of the procedure can last for years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and genetic factors. In addition to improving your appearance, the correction can also significantly improve your overall quality of life by reducing discomforts such as eyestrain, visual field limitations and even headaches sometimes associated with the extra weight of excess skin.
