Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelids
For the upper eyelids, the most suitable candidate to undergo this procedure is those with sagging skin above the eye. The amount of skin to be removed is variable. A cut must always be made to remove this skin. It is not true that these corrections can be made with lasers or ultrasounds.
The resulting scar will gradually disappear with time. It is important to use special creams to avoid Hypertrophic or Keloid Scarring.
It is also possible that fat may need to be removed from the inner area of the upper eyelid. This is previously analyzed by the surgeon.
Lower eyelids
For lower eyelids, the objective is to remove fat from three compartments: internal, middle and external. Also, the existence of skin laxity is taken into account.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty is required when only fat, not skin, needs to be removed. No external cuttings are performed.
If skin and fat need to be removed, an external cut must be performed at the base of the eyelashes. Furthermore, a fixation to the bone known as Lateral Canthoplasty is always suggested. This prevents the eyelid from opening downward over time.
