Eyelid & Eye Surgery

Eyelid and eye surgery are surgical procedures that are performed to improve the appearance and function of the eyelids and surrounding areas. These surgeries can address both cosmetic concerns, such as drooping eyelids, and functional issues, like vision impairment caused by excess skin or fat.

At Medixir Clinic, we offer a range of eyelid and eye surgeries designed to help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance while also addressing medical concerns. Our procedures include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), eyelid lifts, and eyelid reconstruction.

Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular eyelid surgeries. It involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to create a more youthful and alert appearance. This procedure can also improve vision in patients whose drooping eyelids interfere with their line of sight.

Eyelid lifts, or ptosis surgery, focus on correcting drooping eyelids caused by aging or other conditions. This procedure tightens and lifts the muscles and tissues around the eyelids to restore a natural, open-eyed appearance. Eyelid lifts can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids, depending on the patient's needs.

Eyelid reconstruction may be necessary for individuals who have experienced injury, trauma, or surgery to the eye area. The goal of eyelid reconstruction is to restore both the form and function of the eyelid, ensuring that it functions properly and has a natural appearance.

These surgeries are typically performed under local anesthesia, although general anesthesia may be used in more complex cases. The procedures usually take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. Patients can go home the same day, although they should plan for a few days of rest and recovery.

After the surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort around the eye area. These side effects generally subside within a week to 10 days. Most patients are able to return to work or normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks, although they should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks to allow proper healing.

Eyelid surgery offers permanent results, although the natural aging process will continue. The skin around the eyes may sag again over time, but the improvements from the surgery are long-lasting and can provide a more refreshed, youthful appearance.

At Medixir Clinic, we take a personalized approach to eyelid and eye surgeries, tailoring each procedure to the unique needs of the patient. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure the best results, with a focus on both function and aesthetic outcomes.
