What about when we look at ourselves in the mirror and, even if we are having a wonderful day, we look sad, or worse, when people ask us “are you tired“, without being tired? How can we avoid it?
Blepharoplasty consists of removing the excess skin and bags of fat around the eyes that give us a tired appearance. The excess skin of the upper eyelids not only makes us look old, but if we let it progress it can even obstruct our vision; we invite you to discover how, with a simple blepharoplasty, we can prevent it. Schedule an appointment.
Blepharoplasty is a short procedure performed under local anesthesia in which excess skin and fat are removed from the upper eyelids, leaving an almost imperceptible scar in the natural upper fold of the eye; and on the lower eyelids, depending on the case, it can even be performed without a visible scar through an incision inside the eye called transconjunctival. It is a procedure of no more than one hour, after which you can return to your daily activities as soon as you feel well; that said, no strenuous exercise or lifting weight during the first postoperative month.
Tip for a speedy recovery:
For the first 2-3 days, sleep semi-seated and use cold compresses over the eyes.
If you experience swelling after 72 hours from surgery, alternate cold and warm compresses.
If bruising appears, we recommend that you avoid sun exposure to prevent the bruises from turning into permanent spots.
I invite you to look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see? If you see that your gaze is no longer the same, that you have lost expression, if you find excess skin on your upper eyelid or you see bags under your eyes, you may be a candidate for a blepharoplasty.

And although blepharoplasty seems like a simple procedure, remember that your face and your expression are your window to the world, so always look for a qualified surgeon with the knowledge, training and experience to do what they say they will do for you, and thus minimize risks while enhancing your natural beauty, your inner beauty.
