Blepharoplasty

The ideal candidate for blepharoplasty is someone who:

• Has drooping or sagging eyelids that affect their vision or appearance.

• Is experiencing puffiness, under-eye bags, or excess skin around the eyes that contribute to a tired or aged look.

• Is in good overall health, without medical conditions that could impair healing.

• Has realistic expectations and a positive attitude about the potential results.

• Is a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking prior to surgery to promote optimal healing.

Estedica offers various types of blepharoplasty to cater to different needs:

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

This procedure focuses on the upper eyelids, removing excess skin and fat that cause drooping or sagging. It is ideal for those experiencing impaired vision or a tired look due to heavy upper lids.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Targeting the lower eyelids, this surgery addresses issues such as under-eye bags, excess skin, and fine wrinkles. It helps in creating a smoother and firmer under-eye area, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Double Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Commonly sought after by individuals looking to create a defined upper eyelid crease, this procedure is popular among patients desiring a more open and alert eye appearance.

Opting for blepharoplasty at Estedica provides numerous benefits, including:

Enhanced Vision: Improved vision by removing excess skin that may obstruct sight.

Youthful Appearance: A more youthful and rejuvenated look with reduced wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes.

Boosted Confidence: Increased self-esteem and confidence from a refreshed and more alert appearance.

Long-lasting Results: Durable improvements that can last for many years.

At Estedica we provide exceptional pre- and post-operative care, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.

A facelift procedure generally takes 3 to 6 hours to complete, depending on the complexity.

Initial recovery takes about 7 to 10 days, with most swelling and bruising subsiding in 2 weeks; full recovery may take several months.

The recovery process after blepharoplasty follows a series of well-defined stages. While each patient’s experience may vary slightly, here’s a general timeline of what to expect:

1. The Initial Days
In the first 2–3 days after surgery, swelling and bruising are common. The area around the eyes may feel tender, and there could be some mild discomfort. Vision may be temporarily blurred due to swelling or the use of ointments.

2. Week One
By the end of the first week, swelling and bruising typically begin to subside. The eyelids may still appear puffy, and small sutures around the incision sites may still be present. Patients generally feel more comfortable resuming light, everyday activities as the healing progresses.

3. Weeks Two to Four
During this period, visible signs of bruising continue to diminish, and the eyelids begin to look more natural. Most of the initial swelling is gone, leaving subtle improvements visible. While the area may still feel slightly sensitive, it starts to return to normal function.

4. Beyond the First Month
By the end of the first month, the majority of swelling has resolved. Final results become more apparent as the eyelids settle into their rejuvenated shape. Any remaining subtle swelling or redness gradually fades over the following weeks or months.

5. Long-Term Healing
Complete healing, including the maturation of incision lines, can take several months. Over time, scars become less noticeable, blending seamlessly with the natural contours of the eyelids.

Blepharoplasty recovery is a gradual process, with each stage contributing to the refreshed and youthful results patients look forward to.

Blepharoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure, so you can return to your hotel accommodations the same day.
