Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
What is it?
Blepharoplasty corrects excess skin on the upper eyelids and bags under the lower eyelids, for a more rested look.
Who is it for?
It is intended for people bothered by heavy eyelids or bags, sometimes with functional discomfort.
How it is done
Consultation, eye examination if needed, procedure as a day case.
Anaesthesia
Usually local anaesthesia, sometimes with sedation.
Recovery
Swelling and bruising for about ten days; sun protection and local care.
The result
The eyes look refreshed; the result is generally long-lasting.
Risks
Like any procedure, this one carries risks that are rare but real (infection, haematoma, healing problems, asymmetry, reaction to anaesthesia...). They are explained in detail during the consultation, with written information.
Examples of results

Frequently asked questions
Are the scars visible?
They are hidden in the upper eyelid crease or just below the lashes.
How long between the consultation and the procedure?
For cosmetic surgery, French law requires a reflection period of at least 15 days after the detailed quote is given.
Where does the procedure take place?
The consultation takes place at the practice, 11 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris. Surgical procedures are performed in an authorised facility.
I live abroad: how should I organise my trip?
Contact the practice by phone or e-mail. A first consultation in Paris is required; then plan for the 15-day reflection period and stay long enough after the procedure for the first follow-up visits.
