The eyelids stand out on the face and change a lot over time, which can give a tired or sad appearance.
This happens mainly because of sun exposure, smoking, loss of skin elasticity and the movement of the facial muscles. Each skin type responds differently.
What is it?
Surgery to remove the excess skin that causes eyelid sagging and the fat pads.
How is it done?
Excess skin is removed through scars that later stay hidden in the eyelid creases. Through the same cut, the fat pads are treated and skin and muscle are repositioned to treat dark circles.
Surgery takes about 1 hour for the upper eyelids and 1 hour 30 minutes for the lower eyelids.
Recovery
Set aside a few days to take care of yourself. Swelling and bruising are common, more intense in the first week, and lymphatic drainage helps shorten this period.
Stitches are usually removed between 5 and 7 days. After that, most work activities can be resumed, with some exceptions.
Times and techniques are averages and change from person to person. Every indication depends on an individual medical evaluation.
