Low Vision
Excess skin on the upper eyelid can cover the pupil and reduce the lateral and upper visual field. Removing the excess expands the field of vision and decreases the effort needed to raise the eyebrows.

Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty
The eyelid region is one of the first to show signs of aging, as it has the thinnest skin on the body. Blepharoplasty surgery restores vitality to the gaze, balancing aesthetics and function while preserving the protection and proper functioning of the eyes.
Blepharoplasty is a surgery indicated to remove excess skin and fat bags from the eyelids, which can cause a tired, aged appearance and even impair the visual field. The procedure can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids, in men and women, providing a more rested and rejuvenated look.
Procedure
How is the surgery performed?
The procedure is performed in a surgical environment under local anesthesia (with or without sedation). The chosen technique depends on medical evaluation and the individual needs of each patient. During the surgery, excess skin and/or fat is removed, and in some cases, the musculature may also be adjusted for better results.
Criteria that prioritize ocular health
The controlled removal of skin and fat bags follows criteria that prioritize ocular health and the perfect functioning of the eyelids, which are important structures for eye protection and lubrication.
It is essential to avoid excesses that prevent proper eyelid closure, such as removing too much eyelid skin.
Information
Function also matters
In some cases, drooping eyelids can prevent the eyes from opening fully, and removing the excess tissue can improve vision. Additionally, it is a very interesting procedure when eyelid laxity impairs the use of glasses or contact lenses.
Why is the evaluation essential?
The technique is individualized. The removal of skin and/or fat must respect the functioning of the eyelids, which protect and lubricate the eyes — striving for naturalness, safety, and comfort in the postoperative period.
Indications
When is blepharoplasty indicated?
Blepharoplasty is an aesthetic procedure typically indicated after age 40, due to the appearance of signs of aging as a consequence of the loss of skin elasticity. Thus, this procedure may be indicated for:
Heaviness in the Eyes
Flaccidity and skin folds leave the gaze constantly tired and cause heaviness at the end of the day. The correction restores the eyelid contour and brings lightness back to the expression.
Drooping Eyelids
In ptosis, the eyelid margin descends and makes it difficult to open the eyes fully. Surgery repositions the eyelid, improving both function and symmetry.
Prominent Bags
The protrusion of fat bags creates persistent volume, with swelling and shadows under the eyes. The technique removes or redistributes the excess, softening the contour.
"Natural results with safety."
The controlled removal of skin and fat bags follows criteria that prioritize ocular health and the perfect functioning of the eyelids.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
DOES BLEPHAROPLASTY LEAVE A SCAR?
Incisions are made in discreet areas, usually in the natural crease of the eyelid, making the scar practically imperceptible over time.
IS THE SURGERY PAINFUL?
No. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia and sedation, ensuring comfort for the patient. The postoperative period usually involves only mild discomfort.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY?
Most patients return to their activities in about 7 to 10 days, although the definitive result is observed after a few weeks.
IS BLEPHAROPLASTY PURELY AESTHETIC?
No. Besides the aesthetic aspect, the surgery can be indicated when excess skin impairs vision.
