EYE LIFT - BLEPHAROPLASTY
Our eyes are the mirror of our soul, they reflect our emotions, and characterize our facial appearance. However, as we age, our eyelids stretch and excess skin is concentrated on the area around the eyes, giving us a tired, hooded and aged look.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure for correcting defects or deformities of the eyelids, and for aesthetically improving the appearance of the eye region of the face.
Specifically, it can treat droopy or saggy eyelids, excess skin or bags under the eyes, as well as fine wrinkles on the lower eyelids. Morever, it can eliminate various functional problems caused by severely sagging eyelid skin (e.g. reduced peripheral vision).
Eyelid surgery is the most effective way to enhance the shape and appearance of eyes, giving the entire face a refreshed appearance.

Blepharoplasty aims to remove the excess skin tissue and subcutaneous fat above and/or below the eyes in order to eliminate the signs of aging from the area. This procedure can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids or both. (upper / lower blepharoplasty or both eyelids).
In the upper blepharoplasty , the surgeon draws the normal folds of the eyelids in detail, and then removes loose skin tissue and part of the subcutaneous fat, usually from the inner side of the eyelid.
Lower blepharoplasty can be performed with 2 techniques, depending on whether the incision will be internal (inside the eyelid) or external (under the eyelashes).
Depending on the type of blepharoplasty (upper, lower, or both eyelids), the procedure lasts from 30 minutes to one and a half hours. Thanks to the modern invasive techniques used, blepharoplasty is not painful, nor does it require a long recovery period.
The patient returns home a few hours after the procedure. The sutures used are extremely thin. In addition, they are absorbable, so they do not need to be removed.
With modern blepharoplasty we manage to renew the appearance of the eye area, and consequently the whole face, almost painlessly and in a way that the operation is not noticeable. The duration of the results is long term (at least 10 years).
In fact, this procedure is often combined with Lifting, in order to achieve the total renewal of the face.
The procedure concerns women and men, usually of a more advanced age, with a severe problem of drooping eyelids and general aging of the eyelid area. The duration of the results is long term (at least 10 years).
In younger people with a milder problem, the non-invasive method of Plasma Tec Blepharoplasty is recommended. This procedure is 100% non-ablative as it is performed without incisions, cutting, removing fat, or altering the orbicularis muscle in the eyelids, while providing impressive, imminent results.
Blepharoplasty is not related to the correction of wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet) or the lifting of the eyebrows.
The procedure is performed under mild sedation and local anesthesia.
It can last from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of blepharoplasty (upper, lower, or both eyelids).
The patient can return home a few hours after the procedure.
The modern invasive techniques make blepharoplasty non-painful. Any postoperative pain, if any, is very mild and is treated with simple painkillers.
Due to the nature of the procedure, swelling and bruising of the area is formed during the first few days. The above is a normal reaction of the body, and subsides in a relatively short period of time.
Depending on the extent of the procedure and the type of work the patient does (office, manual labor, etc.), the return to work can take anywhere from 3 to 15 days.
In general, contact lenses and make up should not be worn for at least 7 days, while avoiding exercise for at least 2 weeks is recommended.
The results are visible with the regression of the swelling and bruising, within 2-3 weeks.
The cost depends on the nature of the problem, and the technique to be used.
At VF Med we treat the problem in a completely individualized way, in order to reduce the costs for the patient as much as possible.
Therefore, costs are determined according to individual needs, and may vary for the same area for different people.
