BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that involves lifting the drooping upper and/or lower eyelids of the face. For the upper eyelids , the operation is primarily aimed at combating sagging skin due to age, which manifests itself as excess skin . Sagging skin (also called dermatochalasis) is a problem that is treated differently than drooping eyebrows .

For the lower eyelids , blepharoplasty aims to combat bags under the eyes . Dark circles can be marked by muscle relaxation, excess skin or the presence of a fatty hernia . To treat your eyelid problems, 2 treatments can be offered to you: the first by aesthetic medicine without surgery, the second by cosmetic surgery.

Blepharoplasty by aesthetic medicine without surgery is done with a Plasma-Excision treatment ( PLEXR). The PLEXR is a medical device that looks like a large pen, it allows the treatment of excess skin and dermatological lesions found in the eye area: drooping eyelids, expression and age lines, acne scars, etc.

You will meet your cosmetic surgeon a few weeks before your cosmetic procedure. This first consultation will allow your specialist to examine you carefully, taking into account your expectations and needs to guide you towards the best possible procedure.

This will then provide you with all the information and formalities needed to prepare you for the day of your procedure. Depending on the clinical indication, your doctor may request an ophthalmological or even endocrinological assessment to ensure that the procedure does not present any risk to you.

Whether you are referred to medical blepharoplasty or surgical blepharoplasty , you are assured of benefiting from a 100% tailor-made aesthetic treatment for your skin.

To ensure that no abnormalities contraindicate the procedure or cause complications, your cosmetic doctor at the Clinique de la Croix d'Or begins by carefully inspecting your face. Once this check is done, he or she will remove any make-up and carefully clean the areas affected by your procedure. Once your skin is perfectly sterile, your doctor will anesthetize the area to be treated (using a local cream or micro-injections) so that the procedure is painless. After a few minutes, this will take effect, allowing the procedure to begin.

Please note that for certain surgical procedures (for example, blepharoplasty of the 4 eyelids), general anesthesia may be offered.

With this non-surgical treatment, your cosmetic surgeon does not need to make an incision in your skin. He uses the PLEXR a few millimeters from your skin to allow the application of plasma to the treated area. It is this application that will effectively correct your skin problems. This procedure never exceeds 20 to 30 minutes. At the end of the procedure, the doctor applies a restorative cream. For an optimal result, 2 to 4 sessions are generally recommended (at intervals of 30 days).

For this classic surgical procedure, small incisions are made by your cosmetic surgeon. Depending on the area concerned by your operation, this can be on the upper eyelid or under the eyelashes of the lower eyelid of your face. Through these small incisions, excess skin is eliminated as well as the fat responsible for the swelling of your eyelids. This procedure lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. At the end of the procedure, the doctor also applies a restorative cream. The result lasts approximately 5 to 10 years, it is even definitive for fatty hernia procedures.
