Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) in Kyiv

Types of blepharoplasty: upper, lower or circular

The procedure begins with a doctor examining the patient and determining the goals that need to be achieved with the plastic surgery. The indications for skin tightening around the eyes are the following criteria:

• Age-related changes: sagging, stretching of tissues, sagging skin;
• Fat bags, hernia of the upper (lower) eyelid;
• skin fat in the eye area;
• decreased tissue tone;
• eye asymmetry, the effect of a “heavy” look;
• lowering of the outer corner of the eyes;
• congenital eyelid defects;
• at the patient’s choice – for example, the desire to change the ethnic shape of the eyes.

Plastic surgery is not recommended for blood diseases, neoplasms, etc. The final decision on performing blepharoplasty is made by the surgeon based on the individual characteristics of the patient.

There are three main types of these operations:

1. Correction of the upper eyelids. Excess tissue is removed, including fat deposits. The line is hidden behind the natural fold of the eyelid.
2. Lower eyelid surgery: lift or transconjunctival correction.
3. Circular eyelid blepharoplasty. Performed for defects of both eyelids. The circular (extended) version is also used if there is a significant congenital tissue defect.
