Blepharoplasty from the best plastic surgeon in Moscow

Almost every woman dreams of an expressive and open look, but often the congenital shape of the eyes or age-related changes do not allow her to feel the most charming and attractive due to drooping eyelids or fatty bags under the eyes. That is why in Moscow the demand for good plastic surgeons who successfully perform blepharoplasty is growing so rapidly. If you have decided to take such an important step - plastic surgery, but do not know where to start preparing for eyelid surgery and how to choose a plastic surgery clinic, we recommend that you read our article. We have prepared for you all the necessary and important information about blepharoplasty in Moscow.

We have selected the most interesting current offers for blepharoplasty from plastic surgery clinics. The average price for upper eyelid surgery in Moscow is 50,000 rubles, lower eyelid surgery – 65,000 rubles, excluding anesthetic benefits, diagnostics and clinical studies.

Why is blepharoplasty performed?

You are mistaken if you think blepharoplasty is a purely rejuvenating operation!
Eyelid surgery is performed on patients of different age categories, sometimes even up to 30 years old, since in addition to age-related problems it helps eliminate a wide range of other aesthetic defects. Here I suggest you familiarize yourself with the list of main indications for surgery.

Indications for blepharoplasty

• Reduced eyelid tone.
• Wrinkles around the eyes (“rays”, “crow’s feet”).
• Heavy upper eyelids, which may be a consequence of age-related tissue ptosis or a congenital feature.
• Hernias under the eyes (patients usually call them “bags”).
• Asymmetry.

Another indication is the patient’s desire to change the shape of the eyes, make them more expressive, and transform the look.

Types of blepharoplasty

I would like to tell you more about the possibilities of this unique operation. To do this, it is necessary to explain that there are several varieties of it, each of which is aimed at performing a specific task.

Upper blepharoplasty

If the problem of a heavy drooping eyelid needs to be addressed, I usually recommend upper blepharoplasty. Through this operation, you can lift the upper eyelids to make your gaze more open and expressive.

By the way, this is one of those operations that are usually recommended for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Believe me, an open, expressive look visually rejuvenates you for several years. Proven by the experience of many patients!

Lower blepharoplasty

Hernias under the lower eyelids can form as a result of age-related changes. But in some cases they can be an individual feature that manifests itself already in youth.

I must say that the appearance of bags, bruises and swelling under the eyes can be caused by pathological processes in the body, certain diseases. Therefore, blepharoplasty is never performed right away. First, patients are required to undergo examinations.

Circular blepharoplasty

If problems are observed in the upper and lower eyelids, circumferential blepharoplasty is usually performed. After the operation, the periorbital area is completely transformed, ptosis and age-related phenomena are eliminated, imperfections in the area around the eyes are corrected, and the look is rejuvenated.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty

If there is no excess skin in the lower eyelid area, but it is necessary to remove fat in this area, fat hernias are removed through the conjunctiva. Access is gained through a tiny puncture. The advantage of the technique is low trauma and rapid recovery.

If necessary, blepharoplasty is performed in combination with other plastic surgeries. If, in addition to problems with the eyelids, the patient has pronounced age-related changes in other areas of the face, I perform a total facelift

Additional manipulations that I can offer to improve the periorbital area:

• strengthening the lower eyelid,
• lifting the outer or inner corners of the eyes,
• filling the nasolacrimal groove with fatty tissue.

Clinics where blepharoplasty is performed in Moscow

In these clinics, plastic surgeons perform all types of blepharoplasty:

• Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is the least painful, seamless method for correcting age-related changes. During the operation, a hernia of the lower eyelid or excess fat in the upper eyelid is removed to a minimum extent.
• Circumferential blepharoplasty is a complex procedure for correcting the upper and lower eyelids. Most often, this operation is performed through an incision, so you must carefully choose a doctor who can be trusted with such a procedure.
• Blepharoplasty of Asian eyelids (Singapore) - this type of plastic surgery is necessary for patients who want to change the Asian shape of the eyes to a European one, and get rid of a flat and overhanging upper eyelid.
• Reconstructive blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery required for patients after injuries that have disrupted the aesthetic composition of the face.

All of the listed clinics provide the opportunity to undergo on-site clinical examinations and hardware diagnostics necessary for blepharoplasty, and some medical centers even offer blepharoplasty on the same day of treatment. But don’t forget about preparing for eyelid surgery; this is a very important part of the operation. Within a few weeks, it is necessary to give up alcohol and smoking, eliminate exposure to sunlight on the skin, and stop taking medications that affect blood thinning. A few days before blepharoplasty, it is necessary to undergo clinical tests: a general clinical and biochemical blood test, a test for the presence of viral diseases, an electrocardiogram and a coagulogram, and obtain permission for plastic surgery from other specialized specialists, if necessary.

The recovery period after blepharoplasty lasts up to 3 months. Postoperative marks usually disappear within 10-12 days. During this time, you must avoid using cosmetics, contact lenses, and visiting saunas and steam baths. For up to 14 days, you should wear sunglasses, regardless of weather conditions, and put antibacterial drops into your eyes, as recommended by your doctor.

How to choose the best plastic surgeon in Moscow

You can get blepharoplasty in Moscow in more than 300 medical institutions; it is important to choose the right clinic. First of all, you need to focus on the following criteria of the medical center:

Territorial location of the clinic

It is important that the clinic where the operation will take place is as close to your home as possible. After the operation, it is not recommended to return home by public transport; it is necessary to reduce the time spent in public places, because any infection that gets into a fresh incision can cause serious complications.

Cost of the operation

Please note that usually the price of blepharoplasty indicated on the clinic’s website does not include anesthetic benefits, diagnostic costs and tests. Find out the exact cost of the operation at a consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Reviews from real patients

Carefully study reviews about doctors on various portals; sometimes fake positive reviews are posted on clinic websites. You can check the authenticity of reviews using a simple trick - see if the site has a working “Leave a review” button. If it is not there, the reviews may be fake.

Qualification and experience of a plastic surgeon

At the first consultation, be sure to ask to see current certificates confirming the doctor’s competence and a complete portfolio of the plastic surgeon’s work. If possible, find out what your friends think about the doctor if someone has had plastic surgery with him.

Rehabilitation

Recovery after eyelid surgery takes several weeks. As a rule, 1 month is enough for the patient to evaluate the result. The first improvements are observed after 2-3 weeks.

The patient remains in the hospital for 24 hours. If the state of health after the operation is stable, the patient can return home the next day. At first you need to wear a special bandage.

When can I return to my normal rhythm of life?

Within a few weeks, the condition of the tissues noticeably improves, swelling and bruising disappear on their own. Returning to work will be possible within a few days after the operation.

It is very important that the patient follows all the rules during rehabilitation. Your well-being depends on the quality of their compliance.

Time restrictions after blepharoplasty

• Do not go out into the sun without sunglasses in the first days of rehabilitation, as you need to protect the skin in the area around the eyes from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
• For a month, give up heavy physical activity, training, and sports.
• Avoid contact with chlorinated water, as it can cause eye irritation in the first days of rehabilitation.
• Do not steam your skin or perform procedures that may heat the body. Hot tubs and saunas are prohibited.
• Avoid any activities that may cause increased blood pressure.
• Maintain a water-salt regime for several months after blepharoplasty.
• Do not read, do not work at the computer, do not “sit on the phone” in the first days. The eyes need rest.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is an operation during which excess fat and skin are removed from the lower and/or upper eyelids.

Blepharoplasty allows you to:

• get rid of bags under eyes
• eliminate sagging upper eyelid
• raise the drooping outer edge of the eye
• get rid of most wrinkles in the eye area

How to prepare for blepharoplasty?

In addition to the standard preparation before surgery (which your plastic surgeon will definitely tell you about), blepharoplasty requires additional examination, which will eliminate strict contraindications. It is important to warn the doctor about all chronic diseases and previous operations (especially if there have been eye surgeries). Two weeks before blepharoplasty you should:

• give up smoking and alcohol;
• Avoid taking medications that reduce blood clotting;
• avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation (wear sunglasses in sunny weather and do not visit the solarium);

The day before surgery, it is advisable to abstain from coffee and energy drinks.

Contraindications

Absolute contraindications include:

• severe myopia
• exacerbation of any chronic diseases
• chronic eye diseases

Other individual contraindications are also possible, so the decision on whether or not the operation is permissible should be made by a plastic surgeon.

How is blepharoplasty performed?

Most often, the operation is performed under local anesthesia. But at the request of the patient, in the absence of contraindications, general anesthesia can be used.

• Correction of the upper eyelid is usually performed through incision along the natural crease
• When correcting the lower eyelid, the incision takes place just below the lash line
• Removal of fatty hernias in the lower eyelid area is usually performed through an incision on the inside of the eyelid

On average, the operation takes 1 hour. After suturing, these places are covered with bandages, and the patient can go home almost immediately.

Accompaniment by friends or relatives is highly recommended, since slight dizziness may occur in the first hours after the operation.

The full effect of the operation appears after 30-45 days.

Rehabilitation period

The stitches are removed after 4-7 days. Before this, under no circumstances should you:

• touch the operated area
• rub your eyes
• use contact lenses
• reading, watching TV, working on a computer, or otherwise straining your eyes
• drink alcohol, smoke
• apply makeup

Try to avoid bright light for 2-3 weeks after surgery. In sunny weather, it is advisable to go outside wearing sunglasses.

You can return to intense physical activity (fitness classes, etc.) no earlier than after 1 month.
