Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

This surgical procedure improves the appearance of tired eyes by removing excess skin in the upper eyelids as well as the lower eyelids through small incisions. Blepharoplasty performed in this way will freshen up your look and appearance.

Surgery Type: No over night stay

Anesthesia: Sedation.

Post Surgery Care

Having completed the eyelid surgery it is important that you take into account the following recommendations:

• The patient can return home on the same day as surgery.

• You should eat healthy foods after the eyelid surgery, including vegetables, fruit, lean meat and plenty of water

• Avoid direct sun until completely recovered from the blepharoplasty surgery

• For the first few days the patient should sleep face up, with the head slightly elevated.

• Use anti-inflammatories for swelling (edema)

• The stitches will be removed after the third or fourth day.

• Begin post surgery treatment by following the instructions of the surgeon; we particularly recommend sessions of Biophotonic Therapy.

• Post surgical treatment is an important part of eyelid surgery because it helps reduce swelling, maintains and optimizes the surgery results to ensure a more efficient and fast recovery.

• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol both of which interfere with the wound recovery.

• In case of any concerns it is recommended that you consult the surgeon directly rather than consulting other people who may have had buttock augmentation.

• Apply cold dressings to the swollen area
  
• Recovery does not happen immediately and the exact recovery period varies from patient-to-patient

Prices and Costs?

We believe that every patient is unique and should be treated as such. For this reason we recommend that you make an appointment for a patient evaluation during which we can discuss your expectations for eyelid surgery and the options and costs of the procedure. 

Duration of Surgery?

The Blepharoplasty procedure usually takes between 30 - 60 minutes.

How soon after the procedure can I fly in an airplane?

You can calculate your return flight by taking into account the recommended recovery period for the eyelid surgery. Once you have communicated your travel itinerary to our client service representative we will provide you with a certificate that states that you have recently undergone an operation. This will help facilitate special care from the airline.

What medication should I take afterwards?

After your Blepharoplasty your doctor will give you a medical prescription that will describe what medication to take during the recovery period.

What information should I tell the surgeon?

During the initial appointment please provide the surgeon with a full picture of your medical history; this helps provide you with the most appropriate treatment:

• Discuss your present and past illnesses.

• List previous surgeries.

• List previous hospitalizations.

• Mention what medication you are currently taking as well as whether and in what frequency you smoke and/or drink.

• Please also inform the surgeon of relevant medical conditions in your family.
