Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

There are two basic types of complaints about the eyelids. The first complain is about the excess of skin in the area, technically known as "dermatochalasis". The second complaint evolves the excess skin but also the excess of eye muscle, known as "blepharochalasis".

The cause
Starting from the thirties, it is expected that the eyelids start to sag (ptosis). Sagging leads to an excess of skin, especially on the superior eyelids.

The amount of sagging skin and muscle is related to the skin type, feeding, sun exposure, practice of exercises and heritage.

This way, it is important to conceive the treatment as an improvement of the whole area. If only the eyelid is treated, the aging and tired look will continue. That is the reason why additional procedures such as forehead lift, brow lift, miectomy of the eye muscle might also be performed in order to remove crow's feet and elevation of eyebrows.

The treatment
The fat around the eyes have an important role on absorbing the impact over the eye globe and on protecting the eyes against trauma. This way, fat should not be removed, but replaced.

The most appropriated treatment for eyelid bags is to treat them in a similar way to a tummy tuck, by performing a resection of the muscle. In case of eyelid bags, the muscle of the area will be smoothly tensioned, leading to natural results.

This Eyelid Surgery technique achieves natural results and might also improve other areas of the face.
