Sad or washed out look, irritation of the eyes, visual tiredness. Upper eyelids puffy, folded or droopy. Bags under the eyes, drooping of the lower eyelid, closed eyelids, dark circles...
Blepharoplasty is the first choice for facial rejuvenation as it has the reputation to be both light and efficient.
But each face has is specificities, each patient warrants surgery adapted to their anatomy, to their needs, to their taste. Difficult to generalise, there are almost as many sorts of “blepharoplasty” as there are pairs of eyes.
Cutaneous, muscular, tendon, fatty, eyebrow, malar, mixed acts...
No matter what, blepharoplasty must be natural and conservative to give radiance back to the eye. From classic blepharoplasty, which requires skin, muscle and fat resection, the techniques have become more precise and refined. Today's blepharoplasty seeks to correct the loss of volume around the eye by means of muscle plication, subtle displacement of fat, and even injections.
The micro-lipostructure consists of removing a very small amount of fat from the internal face of the knee or abdomen, to purify it, and then re-inject it into the zone to be revitalised. This is regularly done as a complement to blepharoplasty.
Eyelids too high, or too low, lashes that rub, scars, tumours, repairing poor surgery...
Entropion, ectropion, ptosis, retraction, trichiasis... Eyelid surgery is not limited to blepharoplasty but has become a speciality of its own: oculoplastic surgery or oculoplasty.
