Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)Available at out clinic in Cluj

About the blepharoplasty procedure

Blepharoplasty (also called Eyelid Surgery) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids, whether upper or lower. This procedure can remove excess skin, fat, and wrinkles, giving the face a younger and more rested look.

Types of blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty

• Description: Upper blepharoplasty focuses on the upper eyelid, removing excess skin and fat that can cause a tired look or even restrict the visual field. This procedure restores the eyelid’s natural shape, improving both aesthetics and functionality.
• Benefits: It reduces droopy eyelids, enhances the facial contour, and creates a more youthful appearance.

Correction of Eyelid Ptosis

• Description: Eyelid ptosis occurs when the upper eyelid does not lift enough, reducing the visual field. Causes include muscle conditions, connective tissue disorders, or simply aging, and it is often associated with excess upper eyelid skin (blepharochalasis). It can be corrected using various techniques, often combined with upper blepharoplasty.
• Benefits: Improves the visual field and corrects the tired look of the face.

Lower Blepharoplasty

• Description: Lower blepharoplasty targets the lower eyelid, removing under-eye bags and excess skin that create a fatigued appearance. It smooths wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and may be combined with fat transfer to improve skin and subcutaneous tissue quality.
• Benefits: Creates a brighter, more refreshed look and reduces visible signs of aging.

Brow Lift Combination

• What is a brow lift? A brow lift raises drooping eyebrows, correcting the tired appearance of the face. When performed together with blepharoplasty, it achieves a complete facial rejuvenation.
• Benefits: Combining a brow lift with blepharoplasty offers a holistic solution for rejuvenating the eye area and brow contour, creating a more youthful and energetic look.

Combined Procedure

Upper and lower blepharoplasty together with a brow lift can be performed in one surgical session, offering a full facial transformation while reducing overall recovery time and the number of separate procedures needed.

The blepharoplasty procedure – step by step

• Preoperative consultation: During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon evaluates your health status, discusses your expectations and goals, and recommends the most suitable surgical techniques for your specific case.
• Anesthesia: Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
• Surgery: The surgeon makes the necessary incisions, removes excess skin and fat, and lifts the eyebrows if needed.
• Closure: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and dressings are applied to support the treated area.

Recovery after blepharoplasty

Recovery varies from person to person, but most patients can return to normal activities within about a week. Swelling and bruising are normal during the first few days and gradually subside. Following your surgeon’s instructions is essential for a smooth and quick recovery.

Risks and complications

As with any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty and brow lift carry risks, such as infection, bleeding, or a result different from what you expected. Temporary changes in skin sensitivity may also occur. These aspects will be discussed in detail during your preoperative consultations.
