The eyes are the most intriguing and revealing part of the face, they attract attention and reveal our feelings.
Age changes unfortunately have a big impact on eye vision. The wrinkled skin of the upper eyelids makes you look sad and angry, and the swollen lower eyelids look tired.
Operative intervention
Blepharoplasty is performed with sagging and sagging upper and / or lower eyelids. Eyelid cosmetic surgery removes excess skin, tissue and fat and bags that contribute to puffiness in both the lower and upper eyelids. Aesthetic blepharoplasty aims to remove the bags of the lower eyelids, excess skin and sagging muscles of the upper eyelids.

Plastic surgery of the upper eyelids - from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Trans conjunctival plastic surgery of the lower eyelids - from 30 to 40 minutes. Lifting of the lower eyelid - from 2 to 3 hours.
