Blepharoplasty: Renew your look by removing excess skin from the eyelids
Why undergo blepharoplasty?
Ptosis or drooping of the eyelid is a phenomenon that requires cosmetic surgery for its solution. It generally occurs in older people, although it can also appear in teenagers, often as a result of prolonged use of contact lenses.
It can affect one or both eyes, limiting proper eyelid elevation. It is often caused by weakening or damage to the levator muscle or its nerve. And although it can occur at any age, it is more common in older adults due to aging. In the case of children, it is usually congenital and requires treatment to prevent visual problems.
It is essential to treat ptosis promptly to avoid complications and improve the functionality and appearance of the eyelid. Book an initial appointment with one of our surgeons at Turó Park Aesthetic to evaluate your droopy eyelid case and all other aspects of the eyes and surrounding tissues.

What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, has become one of the most requested cosmetic procedures today. Its popularity is not only due to the promise of rejuvenating the look but also to its minimally invasive nature and relatively short recovery times.
In blepharoplasty, we remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, which immediately improves the patient’s physical appearance. For the lower eyelids, the main goal is the removal and repositioning of fat to eliminate the bothersome bags under the eyes that develop over the years.
By carefully removing excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids, this procedure not only refines your look but can also expand your field of vision.
At Turó Park Aesthetic, we are committed to your well-being before, during, and after the procedure, ensuring professionalism not only in the treatment but also on the road to recovery.
Before and after blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty Surgery Step by Step
Before the surgery, it is necessary to visit the surgeon for a detailed evaluation of the eye area and eyelids. During this examination, the specific aspects that need correction will be determined.
Eyelid cosmetic surgery generally lasts about 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, although it can also be done with just local anesthesia. It is important to note that both the surgery to remove bags from the lower eyelids and the correction of ptosis can be performed without leaving visible scars, thanks to a hidden incision inside the eyelid.
Blepharoplasty is generally performed on an outpatient basis, allowing the patient to return home the same day. Thanks to modern techniques, the recovery period is short, ranging between 7 and 10 days at most.

Frequently Asked Questions about Blepharoplasty
In the vast majority of cases, eyelid surgery is not painful. However, it may cause some discomfort. In all cases, effective pain relievers are prescribed.
It is advisable to wait at least two or three weeks before using makeup after blepharoplasty and, in the case of mascara, it is necessary to wait an additional week. However, it is important to individualize each process as it depends on the state of the scar and the skin surrounding the eyelids.
The recovery process after blepharoplasty, although generally brief, requires specific attention and care. By minimizing strenuous activity, avoiding cigarette smoke, and delaying the use of contact lenses, our patients enjoy a prompt and comfortable recovery.
