Surgical Blepharoplasty in Como
Aesthetic surgery procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and skin laxity from the upper and/or lower eyelids to rejuvenate and open the eyes.
What it is and how it is performed
What is it
Surgical blepharoplasty is an aesthetic surgery procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and skin laxity from the upper and/or lower eyelids to rejuvenate and open the eyes. It is the ideal solution if you have drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess eyelid skin that limits your field of vision, or if you wish to permanently rejuvenate the periocular area. It is perfect for those seeking a permanent and natural result that significantly improves the openness of the eyes and the overall appearance of the face.
Surgical blepharoplasty offers definitive and permanent results, unlike non-surgical treatments that require periodic maintenance.
How it is Performed
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the complexity. The surgeon makes very precise incisions hidden in the natural crease of the upper eyelid (imperceptible to the naked eye) and/or along the lower lash line for the lower eyelid. Through these incisions, excess skin is removed and excess eyelid fat is repositioned or excised. The sutures are very fine and are removed after 5–7 days. The result is a more open, rested, and youthful appearance.
The result is permanent: the removed skin and fat do not return, so the benefit is long-lasting.
