Blepharoplasty
What is blepharoplasty?
At Cliniq, we offer blepharoplasty, a specialty cosmetic surgery to rejuvenate your upper and lower eyelids. This procedure will help you remove excess skin and fat, providing a fresher, more youthful appearance.
In addition, it can improve peripheral vision when excess skin obstructs vision. With our expert plastic surgeons and cutting-edge technology, we ensure natural and long-lasting results, giving you a more awake and radiant look.
Trust Cliniq for a transformation that enhances your beauty and improves your quality of life.
Benefits of blepharoplasty
- Facial rejuvenation: Blepharoplasty eliminates excess skin, fat and, in some cases, eyelid muscle, resulting in a fresher, more youthful appearance. This can significantly reduce the signs of aging around the eyes, such as wrinkles and flaccidity.
- Vision improvement: In cases where excessive skin of the upper eyelids obstructs peripheral vision, blepharoplasty can significantly improve the visual field, providing clearer and broader vision.
- Custom procedure: Blepharoplasty can be personalized to address the specific needs of each patient, whether in the upper eyelids, lower or both, ensuring that the best possible results are achieved.
- lasting results: The effects of blepharoplasty are usually lasting. Although aging continues, the benefits of the procedure can be maintained for many years, providing sustained aesthetic improvement.
- Relatively fast recovery: Compared to other aesthetic procedures, blepharoplasty has a relatively short recovery time, allowing patients to return to normal activities in one or two weeks.
How is a blepharoplasty performed?
At Cliniq, blepharoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat and, in some cases, muscle. Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, our surgeon makes precise incisions in the natural folds to minimize visible scars. The fat is redistributed or removed and the skin tightens for a rejuvenated look.
The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and recovery includes postoperative care such as cold compresses and medications for pain control and infection prevention. Most patients can resume their normal activities in one or two weeks, with results revealing a fresher, more revitalized look.

At Cliniq, blepharoplasty is performed using local anesthesia with sedation, which numbs the eyelid area and relaxes the patient, or general anesthesia, where the patient is completely asleep. The choice of the type of anesthesia depends on the complexity of the procedure and the preferences of the patient, always ensuring maximum comfort and safety during surgery.
Recovery from blepharoplasty in Cliniq initially involves applying cold compresses and keeping the head elevated to reduce inflammation and bruising. Analgesics and antibiotics are prescribed, and the sutures are removed in about a week. During the second week, inflation decreases significantly, allowing patients to resume their normal activities, while protecting the sun’s incisions.
It is essential to attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper cure and optimal results.
It is recommended to rest and avoid any physical activity, keeping your head elevated to reduce inflammation and bruising.
Immediate disability: Patients should avoid strenuous activities, lift heavy objects, and bend down. It is common to experience inflammation and bruising around the eyes. Patients must follow postoperative care instructions, including the application of cold compress and taking prescribed medications.
Short-term disability: Most patients can return to their normal activities and work, as long as it does not involve significant physical effort. It is important to continue protecting the sun’s incisions and follow the recommendations of the surgeon for skin care.
Medium Term Disability: Inflammation and bruising will continue to gradually decrease. Most patients feel recovered in about two weeks and complete healing and the disappearance of all visible signs of surgery can take a few months. In general, it is crucial to follow medical directions, wear compression garments, and attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper and safe recovery.
Blepharoplasty leaves minimal and discreet scars, thanks to the strategic location of the incisions and the advanced suture techniques used by surgeons. Below is how the scars resulting from this procedure are:
Upper eyelids: The incision is made in the natural fold of the upper eyelid, which allows the scar to be hidden when the eyes are open.
Initial Appearance: Immediately after surgery, the scar may appear red and inflamed, but this will improve over time.
Lower eyelids: The incision can be made just under the lower lashes or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival incision). In both cases, the scars are practically invisible.
Initial Appearance: As with the upper eyelids, the scar may be initially swollen and red.
