Blepharoplasty (also known as eyelid surgery or eyelid lift) is a surgical procedure that refreshes the appearance of your upper face by reducing bagginess from lower eyelids and excess skin from the upper eyelids.
Blepharoplasty in Tijuana, Mexico is performed to reduce the wrinkling and/or bulging of eyelid tissue. Not all patients need to have both excess skin and excess fat (bags under the eyes) removed. In many cases only one or the other procedure is needed. Every wrinkle and fold of skin around the eyes cannot be removed. Most recently, there have been innovations in eye surgery to preserve and redistribute fat around the eyes rather than just to remove it. This results in less of a hollow, “done” appearance.
As we grow older, the skin begins to lose some of its elasticity, and the area around the eyes often begins to sag. These wrinkles, pouches beneath the eyes, and sagging upper eyelids can be greatly improved with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Renowned throughout Mexico, Dr. Illich Navarro have performed exceptional eyelid surgeries for many patients at Tijuana Facelift.
Blepharoplasty, is a procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin and fat. The benefits of blepharoplasty include the following:
blepharoplasty is highly effective for eliminating tired-looking eyes. The eyelids are tightened, and bulging fat is removed. This helps to get rid of puffy eyes and eyelid wrinkles. Most women find they can achieve more striking-looking eyes when combined with make-up.
Blepharoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids to make you appear younger-looking and refreshed.
Blepharoplasty surgery is not designed to alter the shape of the eye. A lateral canthoplasty, also known as almond eye surgery, can alter the position of the lateral canthus, which may slightly change the shape of the outer eye for a lifted appearance.
These characteristics often make a person seem older than they actually are, or constantly tired and stressed. If you wish to invigorate your appearance, eyelid surgery can serve as a solution to rejuvenate and refresh the eyes.
Success Stories of Real Patients!!
Brilliant in every way. I was so nervous beforehand and think if it wasn’t for Dr. Illich allowing me to call him for advice and more info, I don’t think I would’ve gone through with the operation. He was very assuring.
Very friendly staff, comfortable environment. I love my eyes, this has given me more confidence and I don’t feel as tired due to my previous heavy lids. Excellent – absolutely delighted with the results.
Everything was very positive and professional. I am very pleased with the outcome of my treatment. Dr. Illich Navarro was easy to talk to and he explained what he was going to do. Great service! Very pleased with my result.
As we age, the skin around our eyes and eyelids can become droopy or saggy. This causes eye bags or hooded, heavy eyes. Some people also have pockets of excess fat around their eyes that can lead to the same tired looking, droopy eyelids.
Either way, surgery to remove excess skin or fat from the eyelids, called a blepharoplasty, can help, either medically, cosmetically, or both.
A blepharoplasty can be carried out under a local anaesthetic alongside a sedation. This means that your eyelids will be numbed and although you’ll be awake, you’ll feel relaxed and drowsy.
It can also be carried out under a general anaesthetic where you’re asleep for the whole procedure.
You’ll be able to discuss your options, your preferences and your surgeon’s preferences with your surgeon at your pre-operative assessment. Most of the time, you’ll be able to return home on the same day as your surgery.
Depending on whether you’re having upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery or both, a blepharoplasty involves your surgeon removing the excess tissue that is making your eyelids appear heavy, tired or droopy.
After surgery, you will be given pain relief medications to use once the anaesthetic wears off, and you may have eye pads on for a short while to help minimise bruising.
Your eye area, depending on whether you’ve had upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery or both, will feel tender, swollen and bruised in the days after surgery. Your eyes may also feel dry.
You will normally need around a week off work and normal duties to recover from eyelid surgery. You should also refrain from driving for a few days or for as long as your surgeon has recommended.
