Treatment: Blepharoplasty
Very fine and delicate, blepharoplasty (correction of the lower and/or upper eyelids) provides great satisfaction by rejuvenating the eye contour.
Most often performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation, but sometimes upon request, under general anesthesia. The procedure lasts about one hour, and you can leave after one to two hours of rest or stay overnight.
The excess skin and fat pockets are removed through an incision in the natural fold, at the crease of the upper eyelid. The fat pockets of the lower eyelid can be removed through an incision beneath the lash line if there is excess skin. Otherwise, this can also be done without a scar via conjunctival approach. A bandage is optional for a few hours to avoid hematomas and bruising.
You may have traces of the procedure for 8 to 10 days, but activity is still possible with sunglasses with tinted lenses.
It is a delicate and meticulous procedure, but it is light and has nothing to do with the ocular globe or vision.
Complications are exceptional.
An ectropion (outward turning of the lower eyelid) may occur if the technique is not properly performed.
The eye contour will be rejuvenated, but a few years later, there may be the possibility of another procedure.
