Total blepharoplasty is recommended for people who want a complete rejuvenation of the upper and lower eyelids, to correct the appearance of tired or aged eyes. It helps to remove excess skin and fat deposits, conferring a more rested and natural appearance.
The intervention involves the controlled excision of excess skin and, if applicable, fat deposits at the level of the upper and lower eyelids. The incisions are made in the natural folds of the eyelids to minimize the visibility of the scars. Through this procedure, a more defined contour of the eyes and a rejuvenated appearance are achieved, while preserving the natural expressiveness.
Total blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, but depending on the case, general anesthesia may be recommended. The duration of the intervention is on average 1.5 to 3 hours, varying depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Swelling and bruising are normal and may persist for a few days, being managed through cold compresses and recommended medication. Avoiding intense physical effort and sun exposure is indicated.
Most patients can resume light daily activities, and the sutures are usually removed during this period. The appearance of the eyelids remains still slightly inflamed.
The swelling and any small bruises reduce significantly, and the scars become less visible. Sun protection is recommended to prevent pigmentation of the scars.
The final results can generally be appreciated after 2-3 months, when the tissues have healed completely and the eyelids have a natural and rejuvenated appearance.
These risks are reduced through rigorous preoperative evaluation, careful surgical technique, and adequate postoperative monitoring.
Initial recovery takes approximately 7-10 days, and the final results can be observed in 2-3 months, when the inflammation and scars have completely faded.
The scars are placed in the natural folds of the eyelids, which makes them hard to see. Over time, they fade significantly, becoming almost invisible.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so it does not cause pain during the intervention. Postoperatively, discomfort and slight pain may appear, controlled with prescribed medication.
It is recommended to avoid wearing contact lenses for approximately 2 weeks after the intervention to allow optimal healing of the eyelids.
