Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a popular cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids, providing a more youthful and rested look. By removing excess skin, fat, and/or tightening the muscles in the eye area, this procedure can correct sagging eyelids, bags under the eyes, and wrinkles around the area. The procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques, ensuring a quick recovery and natural results.

Medical Evaluation & Consultation Meeting

Before any cosmetic surgery, it is important to start with a relaxed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon. Dr. Georgios Papadimitriou always dedicates the necessary time to each patient interested in blepharoplasty, to explain the procedure step-by-step and to answer all your questions. Together, you will discuss potential risks and review your medical history to determine whether the procedure is the right choice for you.

After completing this stage, you may need to undergo some additional tests, such as blood tests or an ophthalmologic examination. It is also important to inform your doctor about all the medications and supplements you are taking, to ensure it is safe to continue them before the surgery.

You will have all the time you need to ask your questions and feel comfortable before proceeding.

Preoperative Instructions

Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding.Stop smoking several weeks before the procedure for better healing and faster recovery.

Realistic Expectations

Blepharoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of your eyes, offering a more youthful and refreshed look. However, it is important to have realistic expectations: the procedure cannot completely change your features or stop the natural aging process.The changes should blend naturally with the other features of your face, offering you a rejuvenated and natural appearance.

Types and Methods of Blepharoplasty

There are two main types of blepharoplasty:

Upper Blepharoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, improving the appearance and opening up the gaze.
Lower Blepharoplasty: Removes or redistributes fat from under-eye bags and smooths out wrinkles in the area.

In some cases, a combination of both may be recommended for a more comprehensive result.

The final results become visible within a few weeks as the area fully heals.

Recovery Process

A short period of rest at home is usually recommended, avoiding strenuous activities for a few days.Mild swelling and bruising are normal and will gradually subside.The final results become visible within a few weeks as the area fully heals.

Risks & Complications

As with any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries some risks, such as:

Infection or bleeding.
Dry eyes or temporary changes in vision.
Complications from anesthesia.

It is important to discuss any concerns or questions you may have with your doctor so that you feel fully informed and confident about your decision.
