The eyes play a crucial role in communication and are said to mirror the inner world of the individual. The appearance of the eyes is greatly affected by excess skin, wrinkles and ‘bags’ of the eyelids, which give the whole face an image of tired and sad.
The main anatomical elements that contribute to this image are:
The drooping of the eyebrows due to relaxation of the frontal muscle
The loosening of the skin, which is particularly evident in the upper eyelids with the formation of folds
The prolapse of periorbital fat, particularly in the lower eyelids, which forms ‘bags’ and gives the impression that the eyelids are permanently swollen.
The formation of wrinkles in the area of the outer canthus (also referred to as ‘goose leg’)
In some patients there is a genetic predisposition resulting in sagging and fat prolapse from a very young age.

After surgery there may be discomfort in the eye area, which is treated with mild analgesics, and there will be bruising around the area, but this will disappear in 5-7 days. Within a week you will be able to return to your daily activities, but you will need to follow the instructions given by the doctor closely, avoiding exercise and strenuous physical activity for the first few days.
The results of blepharoplasty will be seen immediately, once the bruising of the eye area has subsided. Blepharoplasty surgery has long term results while boosting the youthful appearance of your face, eliminating the “tired” expression of the eyes.
