The indications for Blepharoplasty are mainly aesthetic


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

• exclude for some time salon and home cosmetic procedures in the eyelid area;
• consume more water before and after surgery, at least 2 liters per day;
• give up smoking, dietary supplements, aspirin and drugs that affect blood clotting (at the consultation, tell the surgeon about all the drugs you are taking.

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.

Blepharoplasty provides a rejuvenating effect immediately after surgery.
The final result is formed in 2 months.
The appearance after the procedure remains natural, but the person looks more rested and refreshed.
People you know will notice a change in your appearance, but most likely they will be taken as an assumption that you have begun to pay more attention to your own health and get better sleep.

The result, on average, lasts for 5 years, with a healthy lifestyle - up to 7-10 years.
