all about eyelid surgery

what is eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure in which excess skin, fat deposits and sometimes muscle tissue around the eye are removed or repositioned.
There are two main treatments:

upper eyelid surgery

During upper eyelid surgery, we remove excess skin and, if needed, fat. As a result:

• your eyes feel less heavy
• your vision improves (if the skin rests on your lashes)
• your look becomes fresher and more open
• you instantly look younger

lower eyelid surgery

This treatment corrects bags, dark circles and fat build-up under the eyes.
It’s no surprise that so many people search for lower eyelid surgery experiences: it delivers one of the most striking results in the under-eye area.

Lower eyelid surgery:

• reduces under-eye bags
• softens deep tear troughs
• evens out skin texture
• gives a rested, smooth under-eye area

Eyelid surgery is also known as blepharoplasty or an eye lift.

symptoms eyelid surgery can help with

• a tired, heavy look
• excess skin on the upper eyelids
• lashes being pushed down
• bags or creases under the eyes
• drooping eyelids due to ageing
• difficulty applying make-up
• asymmetrical eyelids
• a gloomy appearance

who is eyelid surgery suitable for?

Eyelid surgery is ideal for:

• men and women with drooping upper eyelids
• clients with under-eye bags or dark circles
• people with a heavy look or tired appearance
• clients who experience functional problems when reading or driving
• anyone who wants a natural eye lift without others noticing they’ve had something done

It’s one of the most popular procedures for good reason: it improves both appearance and function.

treatment methods at uma clinic

During your consultation, the specialist will determine whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery or a combination is right for you.

upper eyelid surgery

• local anaesthesia
• excess skin is removed
• the small scar sits in the natural crease (almost invisible)

lower eyelid surgery

• can be done through the skin or the inside of the eyelid (no visible scar)
• fat pads are repositioned or removed
• the skin can be tightened if needed

On average, the procedure takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the method.

results you can expect

Many clients notice right away:

• a fresher, more open look
• fewer under-eye bags
• a smoother under-eye area
• better vision (with drooping skin)
• a youthful, rested appearance

The full result is visible after 6–12 weeks.
The best part? The improvement often lasts 10 to 15 years.

before and aftercare

• use cool packs for swelling.
• take it easy for the first 48 hours.
• avoid bending over, lifting and intense exercise.
• sleep with your head slightly raised.
• do not rub your eyes.
• avoid make-up until the skin has healed.

Stitches are usually removed after 5–7 days.
