Mirror of the Soul




Our eyelids change over time and so does the skin around our eyes. The slow dropping of the skin of the upper eyelid can start reducing the visual field generating discomfort and affecting our aesthetics.

The lower eyelid may start accumulating orbital fat due to aging or hereditary factors resulting in baggy or puffy eyelids. The surgical procedure most commonly used to alleviate both of these conditions are called Blepharoplasty, in which excess skin in the upper eyelid and excess fat in the lower eyelid is removed. This procedure not only improves aesthetics but can improve the functionally of the eye.

Below you will find some of the most common beliefs and realities associated with Blepharoplasty which may help you know if you can benefit from this procedure. We then suggest an evaluation to exactly determine how it can help you improve both the appearance and functionality of your eyelids.

Myths

It is extremely noticeable that you have gone through Blepharoplasty.
Applying latest technologies, we can now tailor our procedures to the patient's physical characteristics resulting in a very natural look. It is a very low-invasive surgery with a local anesthetic, leaving thin scars which are become almost imperceptible with time. This should not affect your eye shape or expression.
Blepharoplasty is only for women.
No, Blepharoplasty is for both men and women as men can also suffer from similar signs of aging. We take into account when we perform blepharoplasty on men their unique characteristics in aging; the shape and contour of men´s eyebrows and eyelids differ, muscles tend to be heavier and skin is thicker compared to women.
So if you are a man suffering from clear signs of aging of the skin around the eyes, a blepharoplasty may be the perfect solution for a younger, healthier or better functional eye.
Recovery from Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is very painful.
The recovery process is not painful at all, depends mostly on the type of procedure, your age, and your body. Most patients report a feeling of tightness on the sides of their eyelids which will subside with time and can be managed with regular pain relief medications. It is important to follow medical instructions with respect to the position of the head in bed, not to expose yourself to direct sun and to use sunglasses for up to 6 months after the procedure.


It is said that "the eyes are the windows to our soul," and excessive aging of our eyes will influence this image. If you would like your eyes to project vitality, happiness and good health, then a Blepharoplasty may be the procedure you are looking for.
