Blepharoplasty:
What is BLEPHAROPLASTY?
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a refined cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This surgery can address issues such as drooping upper lids, excess skin, and under-eye bags, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
At Estedica, our highly skilled surgeons perform blepharoplasty with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking and elegant results.

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are individuals who:
Experience sagging or drooping upper eyelids that impair vision.
Have puffy or baggy lower eyelids.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
Do not have serious eye conditions.
Seek to rejuvenate their eye area for a more youthful and rested appearance.
At Estedica, we personalize each consultation to ensure that blepharoplasty is the right procedure to meet your aesthetic goals and needs.

TYPES of Blepharoplasty
Estedica offers various types of blepharoplasty to cater to different needs:
UPPER EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY
This procedure focuses on the upper eyelids, removing excess skin and fat that cause drooping or sagging. It is ideal for those experiencing impaired vision or a tired look due to heavy upper lids.
LOWER EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY
Targeting the lower eyelids, this surgery addresses issues such as under-eye bags, excess skin, and fine wrinkles. It helps in creating a smoother and firmer under-eye area, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
DOUBLE EYELID SURGERY
Commonly sought after by individuals looking to create a defined upper eyelid crease, this procedure is popular among patients desiring a more open and alert eye appearance.
HOW the Procedure is Performed
01.
PERSONALIZED CONSULTATION
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation, where we discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history. This allows us to develop a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring the highest level of care and precision.
02.
ANESTHESIA
To ensure your utmost comfort, a type of anesthesia is administered depending on your preferences, the specifics of your medical history and the procedure. This step is carefully planned to provide a painless and relaxed experience.
03.
INCISIONS
Depending on whether we are addressing the upper or lower eyelids, strategic incisions are made. For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are typically placed within the natural crease of the eyelid. For lower eyelid surgery, incisions are made just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid to ensure they are virtually invisible.
04.
EXPERT RESHAPING
Our skilled surgeons delicately remove or reposition excess skin, fat, and muscle to create a more youthful and defined eyelid contour. This process is performed with the highest precision to achieve natural-looking and harmonious results.
05.
CLOSURE
Once the desired reshaping is achieved, the incisions are meticulously closed with fine sutures. Great care is taken to minimize scarring and ensure a smooth healing process.
06.
RECOVERY
Following your procedure, you will receive detailed post-operative care instructions to promote a swift and comfortable recovery. Scheduled follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor your healing and ensure that the results meet your expectations.
