Eyelid surgery
The eyes are often called the mirror of the soul — a sensual, dreamy and mysterious gaze captivates, draws interest and stays in the memory. Beautiful, bright eyes are a wonderful gift of nature that deserves care. The passing of time, harmful influences from the environment and one’s way of life bring changes to the face, including the delicate eye area, yet what plastic surgery offers today can help you look flawless for a long time.
Upper eyelid surgery
When the skin of the upper eyelids hangs over the lashes and covers the field of vision, the face looks tired and sad. Upper eyelid surgery removes the excess skin, and the incision is hidden in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. You can go home on the day of the operation. The stitches are removed on the seventh day.
The effect of the operation lasts 5–7 years.
Lower eyelid surgery
When bags appear under the eyes and the skin of the lower eyelids sags, lower eyelid surgery is performed: the incision is made under the lower lashes, the skin is lifted, the fat hernias are removed and the excess skin is trimmed. You can go home on the day of the operation. The stitches are removed on the seventh day. The scars usually fade within a month.
The positive effect of the operation lasts 5–7 years.
