UPPER AND LOWER EYELID PLASTY / BLEPHAROPLASTY

Suitable for patients with:

  • Flabby skin
  • Drooping eyelids
  • Wrinkles of any depth
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Scars after acne
  • Stretch marks and scars of any complexity
  • Porous and loose skin

Laser procedures are the most effective, safe and preserve a natural appearance.

What is the reason for this effect? The CO2 laser produces precise and gentle ablation (evaporation) of the upper layers of the skin and activates the work of fibroblasts, resulting in active synthesis of collagen and elastic and tissue remodeling.

Technique of the operation

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia. However, if necessary, general anesthesia is provided. The duration of the manipulation is on average 30 minutes.

Often, upper eyelid surgery is combined with other types of blepharoplasty. In this case, the operation time will depend on additional surgical interventions.

Before the operation, the surgeon makes markings: marks the incision lines and the areas of skin to be removed. After aseptic treatment of the local area, the incision itself is performed. It can be performed either with a scalpel or laser, or with a radio knife. In our clinic, we have the advantage of using a scalpel - an easily controlled instrument without any risk to vision

Next, the surgeon removes excess skin and redistributes the tissue. It is important that only excess skin is removed, otherwise excessive excision will adversely affect the aesthetic result. If the patient has ptosis of the eyebrows, then they can be immediately fixed in a higher position using threads, endotins or Botox.

In some cases, drooping eyebrows and eyelid tissues are an indication for a forehead lift with or without subsequent blepharoplasty.

At the last stage, the plastic surgeon applies cosmetic sutures and sticks protective strips of adhesive tape.

How is upper eyelid blepharoplasty performed?

Correction of the upper eyelids comes in varying levels of complexity. Usually they work with a fold hanging over the eye, which adds problems of an aesthetic nature, as well as physical inconvenience.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty may be necessary for fatty hernias. For some, these are huge bruises under the eyes, while for others, they are small circles that they want to eliminate. The cost of the operation depends on the condition of the skin and the complexity of the situation.

Typically, lower eyelid surgery is more expensive than upper eyelid surgery, although there are exceptions; accordingly, the price may be higher than what is indicated in the clinic’s price list, by about 2-10 thousand rubles.

If you don’t like the intervention of a surgeon, that is, blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids without surgery, more on that below.

Before surgery

First of all, you need to make an appointment with a plastic surgeon. The doctor will find out the reason for the visit, collect anamnesis, conduct an examination, and advise on all questions that have arisen. If he does not find any contraindications to the procedure, he suggests the day of the operation.

Don't forget to talk to your anesthesiologist. It is important to talk about chronic diseases, allergies, if any, as well as normal blood pressure, and whether there was contact with carriers of the infection relatively recently.

The operation is often performed in the morning and lasts from 40 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the work. Before blepharoplasty begins, you will be photographed in order to compare the results later, and markings will be made with strokes where you plan to work.

Anesthesia

The anesthesiologist will choose general or local anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgical procedure and the client’s well-being.

Progress of the operation

Now let’s take a closer look at how the operation for upper eyelid blepharoplasty takes place. The doctor makes an incision along the line of the upper eyelid, pumps out fat, and cuts out excess skin. After the manipulations have been completed, he sews up the incision and proceeds to the lower eyelid, if correction is required.

Then you need to go to repeated appointments with the doctor so that he can track the healing process and the quality of the task performed. Additional dressings may be required, so such procedures should not be skipped.

There are different types of eyelid correction techniques:

  • Transconjunctival. This is one way to correct the lower eyelid, but it is not suitable for all clients. This technique is ideal, since scars will not be visible after it, but it is difficult, and the cost will depend on the complexity of the work performed. During your first consultation, you may be asked to remove bags or hernias under your eyes in this way, but it is important to understand that these surgical interventions will be performed through the inside of the eyelid.
  • Blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids with laser. The use of laser is a popular and standard method in blepharoplasty for any difficulties in the areas of the upper and lower eyelids. The laser can be used regardless of the age category of patients or the condition of the skin. It is safe, risks are minimized with maximum successful results. It cannot be said that this method is cheaper or more expensive; the price consists of the difficulty of the operations performed to solve the problem assigned to the surgeon. The cost is always individual. Contact a professional surgeon for advice on the best methods to address your specific concerns.
  • Injection blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids. There are other methods besides surgery, these are injections of hyaluronic acid, which rejuvenates the skin structure at a deep level. The procedure is performed using a thin needle and these marks heal quickly, this process takes about 40 minutes, and represent an alternative to upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
  • Thread technologies . This method is also not a surgical intervention and does not leave any scars and scars; in essence, it is a seamless blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids.

What does blepharoplasty give?

Blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelids can:

  • eliminate hernias of the lower and upper eyelids;
  • remove overhangs and folds of excess skin;
  • eliminate large wrinkles;
  • get rid of “bags” and “dark circles” under the eyes;
  • raise the drooping corners of the eyes;
  • give “Asian eyes” a European look (Singapore method);
  • get rid of other congenital or acquired deficiencies.

Methods and techniques for performing blepharoplasty

The ART Clinic performs all types of eyelid lift surgeries:

  • Circular blepharoplasty is a simultaneous lifting of the upper and lower eyelids. Performed as a separate operation or simultaneously with SMAS facelift;
  • upper eyelid blepharoplasty – allows you to remove folds, wrinkles, drooping upper eyelids, and lift the outer corners of the eyes;
  • lower eyelid blepharoplasty – helps get rid of excess skin, bags and dark circles under the eyes;
  • transconjunctival blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids – eyelid lift “without incisions”. An incision is made on the inner (mucosal) side of the eyelid. The seam remains “on the reverse side” and is completely invisible.

Before blepharoplasty, you need to undergo an examination to find out if there are any contraindications. The procedure itself is usually done under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The list of tests and examinations can be found here.

How is eyelid lift surgery performed?

Blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation.

In its most general form, the operation consists of the following stages:

  1. An incision is made on the eyelid (in the crease of the upper eyelid, along the ciliary edge of the lower eyelid, transconjunctival blepharoplasty - with an incision on the mucous side of the eyelid).
  2. Fat deposits and hernias are redistributed or removed.
  3. Muscle tissue is strengthened and tightened (if required).
  4. Excess skin is excised.
  5. A special cosmetic stitch is applied, which is made and placed in such a way that it subsequently becomes completely invisible.

How long do you need to stay in the clinic?

Blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelids is a minimally invasive method, that is, intervention in the body is minimal. Therefore, the operation usually lasts 30-90 minutes. If you come to the ART Clinic in the morning to have circumferential blepharoplasty done, you can return home on the same day.

How is the rehabilitation going?

There is no pain after blepharoplasty. In the first days, there is slight swelling and slight bruising is possible (rare).

After the operation, a special plaster will be applied to the suture. You need to wear it for about 5 days. The rest of the rehabilitation is more than comfortable. Usually, by the second or third day, patients can work on a computer and leave the house. Sunglasses allow you to completely hide traces of operations from prying eyes.

During rehabilitation, you must follow the instructions of the ART Clinic doctor - avoid strong physical exertion, do not get too tired working with a smartphone or tablet, and do not go to the sauna or swimming pool. Do not smoke or drink alcohol.

How much does blepharoplasty cost?

Regular examinations with a plastic surgeon after surgery are included in the cost of blepharoplasty; this is a common practice in Moscow.

If you are interested in how much blepharoplasty costs in Moscow, the price may vary significantly. ART-Clinic believes that blepharoplasty should combine affordable prices and high quality. After all, the beauty of your eyes depends on the level of the operation.

If you want to pay for plastic surgery in installments or get a loan, find out about these options here. A loan or installment plan may be relevant for those who are planning simultaneous facelift surgery with blepharoplasty. Since the operation involves upper eyelid blepharoplasty, lower eyelid blepharoplasty, and circumferential blepharoplasty, the price is quite affordable. The approximate cost of an eyelid lift in Moscow at the ART Clinic can be seen below on this page. The exact price varies depending on the type and volume of the operation.
