Blepharoplasty is a procedure that corrects signs of aging around the eyelids and brightens the eyes. During the consultation, my role is to carefully assess the anatomy of your eyelids, the condition of your skin, and your expectations in order to recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs. The goal is to achieve a more rested and natural look, while preserving the natural expression of the face.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to correct excess skin and fatty deposits around the eyelids. Over time, several changes may occur:<\/span><\/p>

  • excess skin on the upper eyelid<\/span><\/li>
  • bags under the eyes<\/span><\/li>
  • tired look<\/span><\/li>
  • heavy eyelids<\/span><\/li>
  • distortion of visual harmony<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    These changes may be caused by aging, but they may also be due to genetic factors.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Blepharoplasty improves the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin and treating fat deposits when necessary.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct the signs of aging around the eyes. Over time, the skin of the eyelids can sag and fatty tissue can become more visible, giving the eyes a tired or heavy appearance.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient\u2019s specific needs and the recommended treatment. The goal is to achieve a more open, rested, and balanced appearance, while maintaining a natural expression.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Upper blepharoplasty is primarily designed to correct excess skin on the upper eyelid. As we age, the skin can sag and form a fold that makes the eyes look heavy.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    This situation can lead to:<\/span><\/p>

    • excess skin on the upper eyelid<\/span><\/li>
    • a feeling of heavy eyelids<\/span><\/li>
    • a tired look<\/span><\/li>
    • sometimes functional discomfort when the skin falls over the field of vision<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      The procedure involves removing excess skin and, if necessary, treating small pockets of fat in the upper eyelid. The surgeon makes an incision in the natural crease of the eyelid, which helps conceal the scar once it has healed.<\/span><\/p>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      Surgery can help restore a lighter, more open look to the eyes and give you a more rested appearance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Lower blepharoplasty corrects the changes that occur under the eyes over time.<\/span><\/p>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      The main indications are:<\/span><\/p>

      • the presence of under-eye bags<\/span><\/li>
      • sagging of the lower eyelid<\/span><\/li>
      • certain irregularities around the eyes<\/span><\/li>
      • sunken eyes giving a tired appearance<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        The procedure may involve a combination of surgical techniques, as needed:<\/span><\/p>

        • removal or repositioning of the fat pads responsible for under-eye bags<\/span><\/li>
        • tightening of the lower eyelid skin<\/span><\/li>
        • sometimes lipofilling, which helps restore volume and improve the harmony of the eye contour<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          There are two types of surgical approaches that can be used:<\/span><\/p>

          • transcutaneous route, with an incision made just below the eyelashes<\/span><\/li>
          • transconjunctival approach, with an incision made inside the eyelid<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            The transconjunctival approach makes it possible to treat fat pockets without leaving any visible scars on the skin.<\/span><\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            The goal of lower blepharoplasty is to smooth the transition between the eyelid and the cheek, resulting in a more rested and brighter appearance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

            The process for blepharoplasty begins with a specialized consultation to analyze your eyes and determine whether surgical correction is appropriate.<\/span><\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            During this consultation, a clinical examination of the eyelids is performed to assess excess skin, the possible presence of fat pockets, and the condition of the skin around the eyes. This evaluation helps identify the areas to be treated and discuss realistic goals for the procedure.<\/span><\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            You will receive detailed medical information and a personalized quote, in accordance with the legal cooling-off period. Medical photographs may be taken to facilitate preoperative analysis and monitoring of results.<\/span><\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            Before the procedure, a preoperative evaluation is ordered and a consultation with the anesthesiologist is scheduled.<\/span><\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            Blepharoplasty is most often performed under local anesthesia with sedation, but may also be performed under general anesthesia depending on the situation. The procedure involves removing excess skin and, if necessary, correcting fatty deposits to give the eyes a more rested and harmonious appearance.<\/span><\/p>
