Aging of the upper eyelid is likely the most common mid-age problem. It is certainly the main factor that contributes to the tired, unfriendly appearance that comes with aging. Eyes that once added vibrance to the face now appear flat and dull, losing expression under a layer of sagging skin.
Drooping of the upper eyelids can cause significant functional and/or cosmetic issues. If you feel that your upper eyelids are swollen, the skin of your upper eyelid sags, or your vision is affected, and these issues impact your daily life, you may be a good candidate for this procedure.
As with the upper eyelids, many patients find that their lower eyelids become puffy or droopy over time. Some develop bags under their eyes, while others notice their lower eyelids becoming wrinkled or darker. Lower eyelids with these features often give the entire face a tired or worn-out look.
In lower blepharoplasty – also known as lower eyelid surgery – excess skin and fat can be removed and/or repositioned around the eyes to create a more natural, awake, and vibrant look without altering the shape of your face. If you have excess lower eyelid skin and/or puffy bags around your eyes, you might be an excellent candidate for blepharoplasty. Ideal candidates for this procedure are healthy non-smokers with no serious eye conditions.
Blepharoplasty can be performed with local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with intravenous sedation, or even general anesthesia. During the consultation, we will determine together the best option for you.
The upper eyelid incision is hidden precisely in the palpebral fold, making it minimally visible or even invisible, depending on individual scarring. Excess fat, skin, and possibly muscle are then removed from the upper eyelid.
For the lower eyelid, the incision is external, located 1-2 mm below the lashes (the free edge of the eyelid). If only excess fat needs to be removed, a transconjunctival incision (on the inside of the eyelid) can be used, making it invisible.
This removes excess fat, skin, and possibly muscle. Sutures are made with very fine special threads, which are removed a few days post-operation, leaving minimal scarring.
Post-Procedure Care and Results
Cold compresses are recommended for the first few days.
Smoking and alcohol are prohibited for at least 5 days post-surgery.
The patient must keep the wounds dry and clean. Baby wipes are suggested for facial area cleaning.
Makeup can be applied after suture removal.
