Blepharoplasty: give your eyes a second lease of life
The look is one of the most powerful expressions of your personality. However, over time, signs of fatigue or aging can set in, altering its brilliance and freshness. Excess skin, bags under the eyes, sagging skin... These changes can affect not only your appearance, but also your self-confidence.
Our experts in cosmetic surgery master the art of sublimating your eyes while respecting your uniqueness. With blepharoplasty, they offer a careful and delicate solution to rejuvenate your eyelids in a natural and harmonious way. Carried out in a refined setting and with a tailor-made approach, this intervention reveals all the light and vivacity of your eyes, while maintaining its authenticity.
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the imperfections of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It eliminates excess skin, reduces oily pockets and restores radiance and vivacity to the eyes.
Objectives of the intervention
• Eye rejuvenation
Blepharoplasty softens tired and aged features to regain a fresher and rested look.
• Face harmonization
By rebalancing the proportions of the eyelids, this procedure contributes to maintaining the overall harmony of the features.
• Functional improvement
When excess skin on the upper eyelids interferes with vision, blepharoplasty provides an effective solution.
Distinction between upper and lower blepharoplasty
• Upper blepharoplasty
It treats excess skin that makes the upper eyelids heavier, sometimes causing drooping eyes or visual discomfort.
• Lower blepharoplasty
It targets oily bags under the eyes and fine lines, for a smooth and luminous eye area.
Thanks to a personalized approach and a precise analysis of the needs of each patient, our surgeons ensure to offer subtle results, in perfect harmony with your expectations.

Before the intervention
Preparation starts with a personalized consultation with one of our experts. During this exchange, your needs, expectations and general health are assessed. Particular attention is paid to the quality of your skin, to the anatomy of your eyelids and, if necessary, an ophthalmological evaluation is requested to ensure the stability of your eyes.
Our specialists take the time to explain each stage of the intervention and to answer all your questions, in order to guarantee a serene and fully informed experience.
The intervention
Blepharoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and your preferences.
○ Discreet incisions: The incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids or just under the eyelashes to guarantee almost invisible healing.
○ Targeted correction: For upper blepharoplasty, excess skin is gently removed. For lower blepharoplasty, the fat bags are reduced or repositioned to smooth the eye area.
○ Duration of the intervention: In general, the procedure lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the areas treated.
After the intervention
The follow-up procedures are simple and well tolerated. You may experience slight swelling or bruising, which gradually subsides over a few days. Our experts will provide you with specific recommendations to speed up recovery, such as:
○ The application of cold compresses to reduce oedemas.
○ The use of ophthalmic drops in case of temporary dryness.
○ A limitation of sun exposure and physical effort during the first week.
Careful monitoring is ensured to verify your evolution and optimize your results.

The results of a blepharoplasty are long-lasting and can be maintained for 10 to 15 years. The procedure permanently fixes excess skin and fat pockets, but the natural aging process continues. A healthy lifestyle and regular care, such as sun protection and hydration, help to prolong the radiance and freshness of your eyes.
Blepharoplasty is a painless procedure. Thanks to local or general anesthesia, you do not experience any discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure, slight sensations of tension or irritation may occur, but they are generally well controlled with mild painkillers prescribed by our experts.
There is no specific age for blepharoplasty. This intervention is considered according to individual needs, generally from the age of 35-40 when the first signs of aging appear. However, some younger patients may also use it to correct bags under the eyes or excess skin of genetic origin. A consultation with our specialists makes it possible to determine if the intervention is adapted to your situation.
Recovery after blepharoplasty is quick. You can resume light daily activities as early as 5 to 7 days after the procedure. Swelling and bruising gradually subside within one to two weeks. The final results, with completely faded scars, are visible after a few months. Our experts support you every step of the way to ensure optimal and peaceful recovery.
