Blepharoplasty - correction of drooping eyelids
Correction of drooping eyelids is the answer to a problem that many people struggle with. Apart from aesthetic reasons, it can lead to a limited field of vision and inconvenience in everyday functioning.
The problem of drooping eyelids should not be underestimated.
What are the characteristics of a blepharoplasty procedure?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of sagging eyelids by removing excess skin and deep tissue on the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure takes 1-3 hours and is performed under local anesthesia. Both the upper and lower eyelids can be corrected during one procedure. It is not a complicated operation and does not require a long recovery period.

Why is it worth correcting drooping eyelids?
Blepharoplasty uses surgical instruments to manually cut and remove excess skin and tissue. During the procedure, the surgeon makes precise incisions in the natural folds of the eyelids or along the lashes to minimize the visibility of scars. Surgical procedures allow for more precise eyelid shaping, which results in better and more natural results.
In more advanced cases, where the ptosis is significant, surgical blepharoplasty may be the only effective option. Procedures work well in less advanced cases and may not be sufficient in cases of significant ptosis.

Frequently asked questions about the correction of drooping eyelids
The procedure is performed by experienced specialists, certified aesthetic medicine doctors. Before each procedure, we conduct a consultation during which the doctor assesses the condition of the skin around the eyes, discusses expectations and answers questions.
The procedure begins with local or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions in the natural creases of the eyelids, removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle, and then closes the incisions with stitches. The entire procedure takes about two hours.
After the procedure is complete, a special dressing or cooling gel may be applied to the eye area to reduce any swelling and discomfort.
Recovery from blepharoplasty surgery typically takes one to two weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities in about 10 to 14 days, although it may take several weeks for swelling and bruising to completely subside.
The effects of blepharoplasty surgery are long-lasting, often lasting for many years. However, the skin aging process continues, which may lead to the need for additional procedures in the future.
However, it is worth remembering that each case is different, which is why at the Maria Van De Zell Clinic our doctors always consult, advise and select treatments according to the individual treatment regimen of each patient.
