Blepharoplasty is a simple aesthetic procedure capable of turning tired or aged eyelids into younger ones.

This is a very important decision for patients whose palpebral fat seems as if it can be seen through the skin, this normally is an inherited condition. In these cases, diets, nor frozen mask, can help these bags disappear, condition that worsen when the patient is tired.

This is a good surgical option for those whose eyelid skin has lost elasticity and muscle firmness, giving an appearance of swollen eyelids; condition known as blepharochalasis. In severe cases it can interfere with the person’s vision, which is different from dermatochalasis, where there only is an excess of palpebral skin.

A blepharoplasty is also recommended in those cases in which the palpebral borders have lost firmness, causing the eyelids to separate from the eyes and the skin hangs without support, leaving the eye and the conjunctive exposed, this is very frequent in older people, this surgery can save their eyes.

We can reach the conclusion that the eyelid aesthetic surgery has two clear objectives, one is to achieve aesthetic changes which improve the image, and the other objective is to allow the eyelids to recover their proper function.

If you need this surgery, then a diagnose, a physical and ophthalmologic  exam are requirements to decide which is the best technique for your case, and also to be able to know in what condition your eyesight is before the surgery.  Pictures are taken, blood exams are required and if you are 45 or older, a cardiology exam is necessary

The doctor will remove the stitches a few days after the surgery. You can return to work in a week, and start exercising after a month.

It’s an out-patient procedure; it’s performed in the operating room under local anesthesia and sedation, if the patient asks for it. This is a good option, in an hour or two you will rejuvenate and recover the normal eyelid function you so much long for.
