Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery
Madrid | Zurich
The eyelid procedure transforms the most noticeable area of your face: the eyes. Due to constant movement, anatomical variations, and the delicate skin in this area, the aging process usually begins around the eyes. Blepharoplasty delays the signs of aging, being a fast, safe procedure with immediate results.
Depending on the patient’s needs, blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both (full procedure). The treatment may include removal of excess skin, fat, part of the muscle, and/or bags. Common reasons for undergoing blepharoplasty include tired-looking eyes, puffiness, bags, or difficulties when reading or working at a computer. One frequent comment after surgery is: “Why didn’t I do this sooner…?”
The specialized understanding of the three-dimensional architecture of the face, combined with Dr. Richard Fakin’s extensive experience, ensures natural and long-lasting results.
What blepharoplasty technique is best for each patient?
Factors such as skin type, age, and anatomical dimensions are key to selecting the most appropriate eyelid lifting procedure. Blepharoplasty can remove excess skin, fat, bags, and/or wrinkles from both the upper and lower eyelids. In every form, scars remain imperceptible whether the approach is transcutaneous (external) or transconjunctival (internal).

How are blepharoplasty surgeries performed?
Typically performed under local anesthesia, and in some cases—especially for lower eyelid surgery—intravenous sedation is used. In all cases, recovery is very fast, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.

How long do the blepharoplasty results last and what are the additional procedures?
This procedure has an extremely high success rate. Results remain intact for an estimated period of 8 to 12 years. However, it is important to note that the aging process of the skin continues, although it can be delayed through medicinal cosmetics, sun protection, and the use of advanced technology. When combined with other facial procedures, such as facial fat grafting, face and neck lifting, or rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty becomes a key element in the overall rejuvenation of the face.
