Renova Plastic surgery clinic
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is an operation that aims to remove excess skin and fatty hernias of the eyelids.
The result of the operation is to improve the appearance of the eyelids and eliminate age-related changes:
bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids (ptosis), correction of the "Asian" type of eyes and others.
Professionally performed eyelid blepharoplasty will restore youthfulness to the look and improve the overall appearance.
The skin of the eyelids is very thin, and rather quickly loses its elasticity and firmness: after 30 years, it begins to gather in wrinkles and sag in unaesthetic folds around the eyes, and drooping of the skin of the forehead and eyebrows gives the look a “heavy” expression;
Plastic surgery of the upper eyelid often strongly obstructs the view, limiting peripheral vision - in this case, plastic will bring not only an aesthetic result, but also significantly improve the quality of life, improve peripheral vision and stabilize intraocular pressure.
Blepharoplasty of the lower eyelid is needed if the skin under the eyes has sagged "bags", but the skin of the eyelids has retained sufficient elasticity.
Blepharoplasty is designed only for the eyelids, however, it often happens that correction is required not only for the eyelids, but also for other areas of the face, therefore blepharoplasty can be prescribed in combination with a general facelift, or with additional cosmetic procedures (for example, laser peeling), which enhance and consolidate the positive effect of the operation.

The indications for Blepharoplasty are mainly aesthetic
Lower blepharoplasty is indicated for:
Upper blepharoplasty is indicated for:
Lower blepharoplasty is indicated for:
- Pronounced "bags" under the eyes
- Fatty hernias
- Congenital structural features of the lower eyelids
Upper blepharoplasty is indicated for:
- Overhanging of the upper eyelids (ptosis) due to accumulation of excess skin and fat
- "Asian" type of eyes
- The presence of benign neoplasms (chalazion) - in this case, the neoplasm must be removed with subsequent correction of the eyelids by surgical or non-surgical means
- Congenital structural features of the upper eyelids
- chronic eye diseases;
- acute eye diseases;
- strong myopia.
Eye diseases such as conjunctivitis, blepharitis, glaucoma require prior treatment.
On the first consultation, we discuss the expected results of Blepharoplasty, as well as evaluate additional factors: for example, in case of drooping of the eyebrows, it is possible that an additional operation for a general facelift will be prescribed. We also evaluate the degree of skin elasticity (especially of the lower eyelids), so that in case of decreased elasticity of the lower eyelid skin, an additional cantopexy can be performed - a procedure that will prevent drooping of the lower eyelid.
Also, before the operation, the patient needs to pass pre-operative lab tests and consultation with an anesthesiologist to choose the most appropriate anesthesia option for the operation.
Pre-operative preparation and recommendations
There are several methods to perform Blepharoplasty -
the plastic surgeon chooses the best method individually, depending on the situation and indications.
In most cases, the incision on the upper eyelids goes into a fold, on the lower - goes under the ciliary edge. With trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty, the incision goes through the conjunctiva without injuring the skin.
Blepharoplasty in our clinic proceed from 40 minutes to up to 1.5 hours.
It is performed under modern local or intravenous anesthesia (depending on the patient's age and well-being).
The operation is low-traumatic and is usually easily gentle without a long recovery period. But despite this, the eyelid plastic surgery requires exceptional responsibility and professional skills from the surgeon, as well as the patient's careful adherence to all recommendations.

The operation does not require a long period of rehabilitation:
after 7-10 days, patients return to their usual way of life.
Within one month after blepharoplasty, it is recommended to limit reading books, watching TV, and working at a computer.
