Eyelid surgery

The eyes are one of the most prominent features of the face, and their appearance significantly affects the overall impression of your face. However, as you age, the skin around your eyes loses elasticity, which can lead to drooping eyelids, bags under your eyes, or a tired appearance. Eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, offers an effective solution to restore youthful freshness and improve the aesthetics and functionality of the eye area. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we provide professional upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, combining precise surgical techniques with an individual approach.

What is blepharoplasty and how does it work

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin, fat, or muscle tissue in the upper or lower eyelid area. This procedure not only improves facial aesthetics, but can also provide functional benefits, such as expanding the field of vision in people with drooping upper eyelids. At our clinic, we perform blepharoplasty with an emphasis on natural results that respect the unique features of your face. The procedure is suitable for both men and women who want to rejuvenate the appearance of the eye area, reduce a tired look, or address functional problems caused by loose skin.

Eyelid surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, which ensures sufficient patient comfort and allows for a quick recovery. Depending on your individual needs and the condition of the eye area, which we will thoroughly assess during your consultation, we will choose the most appropriate surgical technique.

 

Who is eyelid surgery suitable for

Eyelid surgery is an ideal solution for those who want to rejuvenate their appearance, improve the functionality of their eyes, or boost their self-confidence. This procedure is designed to address both aesthetic and functional issues associated with signs of aging or genetic predispositions in the eye area.

The main reasons to choose blepharoplasty include sagging skin on the upper eyelids, which can cause a tired appearance or even limit the field of vision. Fat bags and swelling under the eyes often create the impression of fatigue, while fine lines and loose skin in the lower eyelid area can add to the appearance of age. Many clients also desire a fresh and youthful appearance around the eyes for purely aesthetic reasons, so that their face appears harmonious and vital.

The procedure is usually recommended for people over 30 years of age, when signs of aging in the eye area begin to appear. However, it may also be suitable for younger individuals who have a genetic predisposition to drooping eyelids. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we emphasize an individual approach. Each procedure begins with a thorough consultation, during which we carefully assess the condition of your skin, the degree of drooping of the eyelids, and the overall proportions of your face. This ensures that the surgery meets your expectations and brings a natural, aesthetically pleasing result.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery offers a number of aesthetic and functional benefits that can significantly improve your quality of life. Key benefits include:

  • Rejuvenation of appearance: Removal of excess skin and fat restores a fresh, rested look to the eyes

  • Improvement of vision: In the upper eyelids, blepharoplasty can expand the field of vision, which can also relieve eye strain and headaches

  • Minimal scarring: Incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids, making scars almost invisible after healing

  • Fast recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks after the procedure

  • Long-term results: The results of blepharoplasty are usually permanent, even as the natural aging process continues

These benefits make blepharoplasty one of the most sought-after procedures in aesthetic medicine. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we strive to ensure that each patient ultimately leaves with a natural and harmonious appearance.

 

Pre-Eyelid Surgery Consultation

The first step to a successful blepharoplasty is a detailed consultation, which we offer free of charge, during which we will discuss your goals, expectations, and medical condition. The doctor will carefully evaluate the quality of your skin, the degree of eyelid sagging, and the overall symmetry of your face. This process is key to planning a procedure that will respect your individual features and bring a natural result.

During the consultation, you can ask all your questions, whether they relate to the course of the surgery, recovery, or expected results. If appropriate, the doctor may recommend a combination of upper and lower eyelid surgery (even at the same time) or recommend additional procedures, such as hyaluronic acid fillers or bioremodeling, all to achieve an optimal effect.

 

Upper eyelid surgery process

Upper eyelid surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 60-90 minutes. Upon arrival at the clinic, you will be greeted at the reception desk where we will fill out the necessary paperwork with you. The plastic surgeon will then draw precise incision lines that are guided in the natural crease of the eyelid so that the scars are virtually invisible after healing. After applying local anesthesia, the surgeon will remove excess skin, possibly fat bags, and tighten the muscles in the eye area. The surgical wound is then sutured with fine stitches and covered with a sterile, breathable dressing. After the procedure, you will receive home care instructions and can return home.

 

Lower eyelid surgery process

Lower eyelid surgery focuses on removing fat bags and loose skin under the eyes that cause a tired appearance. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, which ensures sufficient patient comfort and a quick recovery. The incision is made just below the edge of the lower eyelid to minimize the scar after healing. Patients under local anesthesia can leave the clinic immediately after the procedure with instructions for home care.

Possible complications of blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is generally considered a safe surgical procedure with a low risk of complications, mainly due to advanced techniques and a careful approach. However, it is important to be informed about the possible risks, which include:

  1. Transient swelling and bruising that disappear within 1-2 weeks

  2. Temporary dry eye or excessive tearing

  3. Scarring or hyperpigmentation due to insufficient sun protection

  4. Rarely, infections or allergic reactions to the materials used

These complications are rare and mostly temporary. If any unusual problems occur, we recommend that you contact our clinic immediately.

 

Combination with other procedures

To achieve comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area, blepharoplasty can be combined with other aesthetic procedures that we offer at our clinic. These additional procedures are designed to enhance the effect of eyelid surgery, support the natural beauty of your face, and ensure long-term results. Each procedure is carefully tailored to individual needs to ensure a harmonious and natural result.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are one of the most popular methods for rejuvenating the eye area. This substance, which is a natural part of the human body, helps restore lost volume in the under-eye area, hydrates the skin and smoothes fine wrinkles. The result is a fresh and rested expression that seamlessly complements the effect of blepharoplasty. Hyaluronic acid is applied precisely to ensure an even and natural distribution, minimizing the risk of unevenness and supporting long-lasting skin hydration.

Another option is the application of BTX, which focuses on smoothing wrinkles in the area around the eyes and on the forehead. This minimally invasive procedure temporarily relaxes the mimic muscles, which, when contracted, cause wrinkles to form. By relaxing them, it contributes to a smoother and more youthful appearance. BTX is ideal for reducing fine lines, known as crow's feet, while maintaining the natural facial expression. The results are visible within a few days of application and last for several months, making BTX a popular choice for clients looking for quick and effective rejuvenation.

For skin that needs long-term firming and regeneration, we recommend the bioremodeling procedure, possibly in combination with other treatments. This innovative method stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which significantly increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin. The bioremodeling procedure is particularly effective in the eye area, where it helps reduce the signs of aging and prolongs the effect of blepharoplasty. It is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require a long recovery and brings a gradual but noticeable improvement in skin quality.

The combination of these procedures allows you to achieve a harmonious and natural look that emphasizes the beauty of your eyes and the overall expression of your face. During your consultation, we will help you create an individualized plan that takes into account your aesthetic goals and ensures optimal results. These additional procedures not only enhance the effect of blepharoplasty, but also contribute to the overall rejuvenation and health of your skin.
