Blepharoplasty IN GUADALAJARA
Why Blepharoplasty in Guadalajara?
As people get older, their eyelids lose muscle firmness and skin elasticity. These weakened muscles and skin laxity create wrinkles around the eyes and sagging tissues that can impede vision by hanging over the eyes. Displaced fat around the eyes can also create puffiness and bags that contribute to a tired appearance.
Also referred to as an eyelid lift, blepharoplasty is designed to adjust and/or remove the skin, fat, and muscles surrounding the eyes to provide patients with a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

Recovery
After your procedure, your eyes may be gently covered with gauze to protect the incision sites. Lubrication ointment and cold compresses may be used for your comfort. Many patients experience bruising, discomfort, dry eyes, irritation, and swelling while they recover. Prescription medication can help alleviate your discomfort during this time. You will be provided post-operative care instructions that should be followed strictly during your recuperation. We highly recommend wearing sun protection and dark sunglasses while you heal.

WHAT CAN BLEPHAROPLASTY ADDRESS?
Bags and Puffiness
Your eyes can be rejuvenated by removing excess fatty tissue that causes puffiness around the eyes. Eliminating the fat under your eyes can also significantly reduce bags that lead to looking exhausted or grumpy.
Wrinkles and Lines
When your facial muscles weaken and your skin loses elasticity over time, it can lead to wrinkling around the eyes. These fine lines and creases can dramatically age you. Blepharoplasty addresses wrinkles by removing excess skin and tightening the remaining skin for a smooth, youthful appearance.

Some patients choose to have a facelift or other surgical procedure combined with their eyelid lift to fully rejuvenate their face.
Most cosmetic procedures do not qualify for insurance coverage. In some instances, vision impairment can be considered a medical or functional reason for blepharoplasty, which may be included in your insurance coverage plan. Please discuss your policy with your insurance provider to learn more.
Your youthful and refreshed eye appearance will be long lasting and will age naturally with the rest of your face. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, wearing sunscreen and dark sunglasses when you are outside, and introducing a daily skin care routine can help prolong your results.
