Blepharoplasty typically concludes of removing excess skin, eliminating unwanted fat pockets and tightening the surrounding muscles
It is a refined surgical procedure aimed at improving vision obstructed by sagging eyelids, or achieving a more rested and rejuvenated appearance in the eye area.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
Upper eyelid surgery is particularly beneficial for those who experience vision impairment due to drooping skin or for individuals seeking to correct a tired or aged appearance. The result is a more open, alert appearance of the eyes, improved field of vision, and a smoother eyelid contour.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes a precise incision along the natural crease of the eyelid. Through this incision, excess skin, muscle and fat are carefully removed. The incision is then closed with fine sutures, which minimises the visibility of any scar.
Lower eye lid surgery is primarily performed to remove or reposition fat deposits, ("bags") under the eyes to reduce under-eye puffiness, minimise dark circles or hollows and tightening loose skin around the lower eyelid. The desired result is a more rested, rejuvenated look and a fresher facial appearance.
The incision is usually made just below the lashes or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach). This approach allows for the removal or repositioning of fat without leaving visible scars. If necessary, excess skin is delicately removed to enhance the overall appearance.

To be a good candidate for blepharoplasty, you should:
During consultation, your surgeon will evaluate what realistic results can be expected.
To understand the possible outcomes of eyelid surgery, you should discuss all potential risks and complications with your surgeon. Proper pre-surgical evaluations and following post-operative care instructions closely can help minimise common risks.
Post-operatively, patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling and bruising, which typically subside within one to two weeks. It is important to follow the surgeon's instructions regarding care and activities to facilitate a smooth and speedy recovery.
Patients are usually able to return to work and other normal activities within a week or two, though they should avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for several weeks. Full aftercare instructions will be provided by your clinic, available through the Adoreal app, ensuring your recovery is as comfortable as possible.
The final results of your blepharoplasty will gradually emerge as the swelling and bruising diminish. Most patients see the final outcomes within several weeks, but subtle changes can continue to develop for up to a year.
The results are long-lasting, rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes and surrounding areas. Many patients report enhanced self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance, along with, in a lot of cases, improved peripheral vision and eye function.
