The skin of the eyelids, which is particularly thin, loosens with age and sun exposure, sometimes leading to excess skin that droops over the eyes. Blepharoplasty, an outpatient surgery performed in the office, involves removing this excess skin and potentially some fat. It aims to restore a rested and natural appearance to the eyes, while respecting facial expression, anatomy, and harmony.
Blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery, corrects dermatochalasis, a skin laxity of the upper or lower eyelids, which can impair the aesthetic appearance of the eyes and cause functional discomfort.
Upper and lower blepharoplasty aims to provide a natural result, without a “pulled” or “stretched” eye appearance. The initial effects are visible within a few weeks, and the final result stabilizes around three months.

Removal of excess skin and, if necessary, fat, via incision or laser, with fine suturing to preserve a natural appearance.
Edema and bruising gradually fade; cold compresses, rest, and sun protection facilitate healing and post-operative comfort.
Recovery depends on the type of professional activity and any bruising. On average, a break of a few days to two weeks is recommended after blepharoplasty performed at the Lausanne clinic.
Skin can naturally loosen over time, but the results of blepharoplasty generally remain long-lasting, often between 20 and 30 years, depending on skin quality and lifestyle.
Yes. Wearing contact lenses is possible after the procedure once initial discomfort and swelling have resolved.
