COSMETIC SURGERY
EYELID SURGERY
As you get older, your eyelids get tired. Sometimes drooping, they may have an excess of skin and wrinkles. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes this skin using various techniques. Blepharoplasty also helps to correct wrinkles and swelling (often called "bags") around the eyes. The goal of this surgery is to give the eyelids a relaxed, youthful and natural appearance.
Always on the cutting edge of technology, our clinics are equipped to offer the best aesthetic services to all our patients. All surgeries offered at Bellevue clinics are performed by specialized ophthalmic surgeons.




LA BLÉPHAROPLASTIE, C'EST QUOI?
INTERVENTION
The procedure usually takes place under local anesthesia and is pain-free. During a blepharoplasty of the lower or upper eyelid, an incision in the eyelash is performed to remove fat pockets and/or excess skin. Then, the surgeon tightens the skin to complete the procedure. The scars follow the natural lines of the eye and are minimal, even almost invisible. The duration of the procedure is approximately 30 to 90 minutes depending on the case.
POSTOPERATIVE
The recovery period is between 4 and 6 weeks. Your surgeon may recommend to apply a cold compress on your eyes for a few hours after surgery. In case of irritation, topical treatment or ointment, such as eye drops, may be advised. Generally, there is little or no pain following the operation. Healing is also fast and effective.
