Eyelids Operation
Why do a blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty or aesthetic surgery of eyelids is for anyone from the age of 35 who has drooping eyelids (“cap effect”) or bags under the eyes. Sometimes, in cases of congenital fat pockets or eyelids with associated drooping eyebrows, the operation of the eyelids can be done earlier.
What is an aesthetic eyelids surgery?
For the upper eyelids it is to remove the excess skin that closes the eyes and gives it a sad and tired look.
For the lower eyelids it is to remove the excess fat forming the pockets of the outer part to the inner part of the eyelids.
However, the eyelids are the primordial element of the per-orbital region. During your consultation, it will take into account your eyes. Thus the position of your eyebrows, the presence of circles or hollows as well as wrinkles will be to consider for a possible associated gesture (Lipofilling, mini-temporal lifting or injection of botox).
Can we be operated eyelids before 40 years?
For the upper eyelids, they may be too drooping from 30 years hereditarily or after significant weight loss.
For the lower eyelids, “congenital” pockets exist in the thirties giving a tired look when it is not.

Will the result be natural?
Yes, the purpose of aesthetic eyelid surgery is to correct the tiredness of the look while preserving the naturalness of your eyes. Eyelids too drawn or too wide apart are not pretty and sign the operation of an aesthetic surgery.
Will my look be changed?
In no way will your look not be changed.
The shape of your eyes will always be identical and the intervention will respect the peculiarity of your expression and your personality.
How is the operation going?
For the upper eyelids the procedure is performed under local anesthesia most often or sedative (as for a fibroscopy) according to the wish of the patient.
The operation lasts 40 minutes and the return home is immediate after a snack.
For the lower eyelids it is better to do the operation under general anesthesia because it is a more sensitive area. Once the operation is over, the return home is done in the hours following the outpatient blepharoplasty.

The points are removed 6 days after the operation and leave no trace because they are intradermal running sutures that are set up as hems under the skin.
Does it hurt?
The operation of the eyelids is not painful. A feeling of discomfort and tension is sometimes felt.
The application of cold on the eyelids makes it possible to optimize the recovery and to limit the bruises.
Are the scars visible?
The scars are a little pink at the beginning then are very discreet because they are placed in the natural folds in the groove of the upper eyelids.
For the lower eyelids, the scars are invisible via a trans-conjunctival approach or placed just under the eyelashes anteriorly.
