The eyelids and periocular area largely regulate our facial expression and are very sensitive to the passage of time. Within the field of ophthalmology, oculoplastic surgeons are specially trained to treat disorders in this area (such as trauma, degeneration and tumours) as well as related aesthetic problems as their proximity to the eye makes this area a highly specialised surgical field.
COSMETIC EYE ALTERATIONS
Aesthetic alterations that can appear in this area include:
As in many processes, prevention is more important, and this is key in the periocular area as the skin and tissues surrounding the eye are very vulnerable. However, despite daily care, the passage of time leads to aesthetic defects for which there are a range of different treatment options with minimally invasive surgery.
Maintain a proper diet and hydration.
Look after your skin, avoiding sun exposure.
Avoid tobacco consumption.
Sleep for the required number of hours.
COSMETIC EYE TREATMENTS
There is a wide range of treatments that seek to rejuvenate and treat the eyelids and the periocular area. They can be used individually or in combination.
To determine which treatment is the most appropriate in each case, prior testing by an oculoplastic surgeon is essential. The most advanced treatments available include:

Select one of the following frequently asked questions on blepharoplasty from our patients to display the answer. If you cannot find the answer to your question, please contact us using the form below.
The procedure to remove what are commonly called “bags” does not affect the basic activities of daily life. However, the appearance of a haematoma in the area operated on (as in any other surgery) means that it is a good idea to wear sunglasses and many patients prefer to remain at home for a few days.
No. Despite its proximity to the eyeball, it is not touched during surgery. A good understanding of the periocular area is necessary to carry out the procedure with the utmost safety.
As we said before, the eyeball is not touched during the surgical procedure. However, some patients experience an improvement in their vision because if the upper eyelid had “dropped” that would limit the patient’s field of vision and the patient would have “clearer” vision after the surgery.
Of course. A blepharoplasty seeks to remove the “bags”, but it does not remove other related conditions. Our expert ophthalmologists in oculoplastic surgery will examine your particular case and offer the most comprehensive solution possible, which may include a combination of various treatments in some cases to achieve the best results possible.
