Blepharoplasty – eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty is intended for individuals who struggle with:

• drooping upper or lower eyelids;
• genetic deformities around the eye area;
• excess skin and fat that may limit the field of vision;
• digns of aging such as under-eye bags, malar bags, deep folds, or loose skin.

Both younger and more mature patients may be eligible for the procedure. The treatment must be preceded by a specialist consultation, during which the doctor will assess the condition of the skin and develop a personalized surgical plan.

STEP I: Disinfection

STEP II: Marking the treatment area

STEP III: Local anesthesia

STEP IV: Surgical procedure

STEP V: Suturing and dressing application

The result of eyelid correction surgery is a visibly rejuvenated eye area, achieved by reducing under-eye bags and other imperfections.
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, helping to “open up” the eyes and significantly improve the field of vision. By addressing both the upper and lower eyelids, the skin becomes firmer and the eyes appear more rested and refreshed.

• Protect the operated area from external factors such as UV rays, dirt, and moisture.
• If advised by your specialist, keep the compression dressing in place for 24 hours after the procedure.
• Apply cold hydrogel compresses (refrigerated) to the eyelids every hour for the first 4 days after surgery.
• Use Hylo-Comod eye drops: one drop into the conjunctival sac, three times daily.
• Attend a follow-up visit approximately 7 days after the procedure for a check-up and suture removal. After this, begin moisturizing the scars and gently massaging the area.
•  Avoid intense physical activity for about 3–4 weeks.

Eyelid surgery is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Other contraindications include allergies to local anesthetics, blood clotting disorders, and the use of anticoagulant medications derived from acetylsalicylic acid (e.g. aspirin-based drugs).

Patients with certain eye conditions, severe systemic diseases, major organ failure, or uncontrolled chronic illnesses—such as diabetes or hypertension—are also not eligible for the procedure.
Those with active skin infections in the eyelid area, systemic illnesses, a tendency to form keloid scars, or mental health disorders should not undergo blepharoplasty. The procedure is also contraindicated for patients who have recently undergone chemotherapy or have taken antibiotics within the month prior to surgery.

Note: Menstruation does not disqualify you from having the procedure.
