Eyelid correction

Eye bags? Tired eyesight? Perhaps you need a blepharoplasty (eyelid correction).

During the procedure, the surgeon removes the excess skin from the upper or lower eyelids. Well-performed blepharoplasty also reduces wrinkles and improves the shape of your eyes. The effect is long-lasting (for about 10-15 years). Scars are hidden. They are placed under the lower lashes or in an inner part of the eyelid skin tissue. Blepharoplasty can even be recommended by your ophthalmologist as it may improve your vision. This procedure can be done in local anesthesia, in analgosedation, or in general anesthesia (when combined with other procedures).

Eyelid correction surgery might be combined with other facial aesthetic procedures, such as facelift. Your surgeon can also apply Botox (botulotoxin) during the procedure, to smooth wrinkles in outer eye corners.
