Blepharoplasty allows you to rejuvenate the look of your gaze.

Correct upper eyelid droop or remove bags under eyes.

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure that corrects external defects in the cutaneous areas that surround the eyes. As much as bags, dark circles, periocular wrinkles, sagging eyelid, sagging eyebrows and signs of aging such as the deteriorated appearance of the upper eyelid skin than by environmental aggressions, the chemicals involved in cleaning Daily and makeup and in addition to the effects of the natural process of aging that make it lose strength and become more lax, which causes folds in the skin that usually fall on the eyelashes causing an aged and tired look and arriving in Some cases even interfere with the vision of some patients.

Another type of condition are the fat bags, which either age or hereditary causes usually appear when the orbicular muscles of the eyelids weaken.

All this we can correct with the Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty through which it is possible to remove the excess skin and fat from around the eyes.

There are two different ways in which we can perform this surgical procedure:

1. Through a minimal incision made in the fold of the upper eyelid or also in the flange of the eyelashes of the lower eyelid.
2. Through the conjunctiva. Where we make a small incision inside the eyelid without having to make an external scar. This method is usually used in patients who do not have excess skin on the lower eyelids.

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient surgery that is usually done with local anesthesia and sedation. Even when it is complete (upper and lower eyelids), it usually does not last more than 2 hours.
