¿Cuándo se recomienda la blefaroplastia?
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is an outpatient procedure that aims to improve the appearance and functionality of the eyes. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, with the goal of:
- Eliminate excess skin and fat that causes drooping eyelids (ptosis) or bags under the eyes.

- Drooping eyelids that obstruct vision or cause discomfort.

How is blepharoplasty performed?
Blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. The procedure typically lasts between one and two hours and is carried out in an outpatient setting.
For the upper eyelids, the incision is made in the natural fold of the eyelid. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the wound is sutured with very fine stitches.
For the lower eyelids, the incision can be made on the inside of the eyelid (conjunctiva) or just below the lashes. Excess fat is removed, and in some cases, a small lift of the orbicularis oculi muscle may be performed.
