Eyelid surgery is technically referred to as blepharoplasty. The procedure involves the surgical removal of wrinkles, creases and bags around the eyes, as well as reduce the appearance of dark circles.

• the wrinkles and creases surrounding your eyelids
• the saggy skin around your eyes
• the overall puffiness
• the way your eyes look tired all the time

The surgery

Blepharoplasty generally takes anywhere from 1 – 3 hours, depending on the patient and their expected outcome. The procedure typically includes the placement of tiny incisions in the natural contours around the eyes. Each incision is situated in a discreet location, to leave the resulting scar barely visible. The surgeon will then remove any fatty tissue and tighten loose skin in the upper eyelids, then target the lower eyelids. Advanced techniques are applied to eliminate puffiness, remove overall sagginess and reduce the presence of dark circles.

Non invasive rejuvenating methods, such as a BOTOX® injection, may also be used to achieve the best result. You’ll learn all about the methods and techniques most suitable for you during your personalized pre-surgical consultation with our Medical Consultant and Plastic Surgeon.

Follow your post-surgical care instructions to minimize the risk of potential complications.The results of blepharoplasty are long lasting. The procedure is designed to make you look more rested, more youthful, and as a result, you’ll be happier with your appearance!
