This surgery, also commonly known as Blepharoplasty, is an outpatient intervention aimed to eliminate under eye bags, formed in the lower lids of the eyes.

When a patient makes the decision of having lower eyelid surgery, it’s important to take into account a few steps previous to the surgery in order for it to be performed as safely and effectively as possible. We’re going to explain below step by step how this intervention is carried out at Operarme.

First of all, the patient books a surgical assessment consultation with one of our cosmetic eye surgeons, through our website.

You can ask for an appointment by clicking on the “Make an appointment” button, calling at +34 91 141 33 56. or filling our contact form here.

In this consultation with the specialist, the patient meets with the doctor and chat about the eye's characteristics, possible treatments and the results and success of the intervention if performed.

During this visit, the patient may ask all the questions regarding eye bags surgery to the specialist; a questionnaire on lifestyle habits, previous surgeries, allergies, eye problems, medication, etc will be carried out as well. The aim is to make the procedure as safe and precise as possible.

During the consultation, the ophthalmologist will carry out a complete eye examination of the patient to determine that there are no associated pathologies. This is not a problem for carrying out with the intervention, but it is important to have them checked before the surgery.

Lower Blepharoplasty surgery: step by step

When you get to the hospital for admission, first you have to identify yourself as an Operarme patient. You will hand the admission staff all the documentation required and they will take you to a room to prepare you for surgery. It is important for the patient to be accompanied as the area treated surgically will be swollen after the intervention.

Once in the operating room, you will meet again with the surgeon and the intervention will begin:

• First of all, local anaesthesia with sedation will be given to the patient, meaning that the patient stays asleep throughout the procedure.
• As soon as the patient is asleep, the surgeon starts disinfecting the lower eyelid area and surgery starts.
• Once the incision has been made, the ophthalmologist can choose between two options, the removal of the excess fat or the repositioning of the fat in such a way that the furrows under the eyes are improved and the bulging of the fat pads is eliminated.
• Choosing the removal of excess fat or on the other hand, the repositioning of the fat will depend on the patient's facial features, although the most recommended option is the repositioning, since it preserves the fat and removes the possibility of sinking feeling of the eyelid.
• After finishing the problem, the surgeon does not need to stitch the incision on the inside of the lid, as the tear ducts make healing much easier.
• Once the surgery is finished, the patient will be transferred to a room where he/she will recover from anaesthesia, and cold and anti-inflammatories will be applied to the area intervened to reduce the initial inflammation.
• The patient will be discharged and leave the hospital by his/her own foot on the same day.

The duration of Lower Blepharoplasty surgery is 45 minutes.

The duration of the recovery process from eye bags surgery usually does not usually exceed one month, but in order to avoid possible complications, it’s important that the patient carefully follows all the indications established by the surgeon. By doing so, the results will be optimal and the recovery will be as short as possible.

It is important to avoid physical overexertion during the first week of post-operative recovery.

During the first three days after the intervention, it is quite common to suffer from swelling and bruises in the area.

After the first week, the patient will be able to resume his/her daily routine, right after the first post-surgery visit.

The second follow-up visit would take place in the following month after the surgery.

The main advantage is generally cosmetic, since this surgical technique achieves the elimination of unsightly eye bags.
