Blepharoplasty

The aim of blepharoplasty is to rejuvenate the eyes without altering the patient’s natural facial expression.

Comprehensive assessment and personalised surgical plan

Each person has unique anatomical characteristics, so our surgeons perform a thorough assessment, evaluating the quality of the skin, the periocular structure and the expectations of each individual. With this comprehensive understanding, a personalised plan is designed to include the upper and/or lower eyelids, avoiding over-correction. In addition, anaesthesia and post-operative care options are discussed, providing the patient with complete information for an informed decision.

Conservative and balanced approach

Taking a conservative approach, and to avoid an unnatural appearance, only the excess tissue is removed. The eyelid’s functionality is fully preserved. Factors such as the position of the eyebrows, the shape of the eye and the presence of nearby wrinkles are assessed to integrate the procedure with the rest of the face. The overall proportions of the face (nose, cheekbones and jaw) are also analysed, achieving a lasting aesthetic balance without compromising the patient’s natural identity.

At Grupo Pedro Jaén, blepharoplasty is part of a holistic process that encompasses more than just the surgical intervention. From the first contact, we evaluate each case to offer harmonious results and improve the eyelid’s functionality. Different units work together to look after the health of the skin and the quality of the scar, providing comprehensive care before, during and after the operation.

Synergy with the Facial Aesthetic Medicine Unit

The Facial Aesthetic Medicine Unit can optimise blepharoplasty results through medical aesthetic treatments to reposition volumes or smooth wrinkles, thus achieving a more complete rejuvenation of the entire periocular area. Communication between surgeons and specialists allows aspects such as skin quality or the presence of fine wrinkles to be addressed in order to achieve a fresher look. An assessment is also made of the need for peels or lasers prior to the procedure, thus improving the final result.

Supporting the healing process

Both the Grupo Pedro Jaén Scars Unit and the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit are available to patients who have undergone blepharoplasty to accelerate and improve tissue regeneration and ensure complication-free healing, so that the patient can return to their daily life as soon as possible.

Patient safety is prioritised at every step, combining technological innovation with strict clinical protocols. The use of precision instrumentation and advanced methods allows for a gentle approach to the eye contour, reducing inflammation and speeding recovery.

Minimally invasive techniques

To minimise surgical trauma, small incisions are made, usually requiring only local anaesthesia and light sedation. This reduces post-surgical complications and improves the patient experience, allowing for a quicker and safer recovery. Similarly, radiofrequency devices or high-precision scalpels are used to facilitate clotting and limit bleeding.

Use of laser in the post-operative period

After the operation, fractional or vascular lasers may be recommended to accelerate the resolution of bruising, improve healing and even out skin texture. This technology reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue regeneration, achieving a uniform and aesthetically harmonious result in just a few weeks.

The Grupo Pedro Jaén Complementary Aesthetics Unit can offer specific treatments to help improve recovery and prolong results, respecting each patient’s facial harmony. These measures are aimed at reducing inflammation, revitalising the eye contour and optimising healing.

Professional skincare treatments

The Grupo Pedro Jaén Beauty and Wellness Unit offers patients a wide range of post-surgical treatments aimed at draining the tissues, relieving inflammation and reducing swelling in the operated area.
After eyelid surgery, it is advisable to have radiofrequency sessions, manual lymphatic drainage and moisturising treatments. These techniques encourage the elimination of liquids and stimulate skin regeneration, speeding recovery. Each session is personalised according to the patient’s progress, in synergy with the medical care.

Personalised follow-up care plans

To maintain the results of the blepharoplasty in the long term, follow-up plans are designed. These may include touch-ups with neuromodulators or fillers, as well as specific laser or peeling treatments to improve the under-eye area. In addition, the patient is instructed on the use of cosmetics and given guidelines for skin protection to prevent skin damage in the periocular area.

The blepharoplasty surgeons at Grupo Pedro Jaén personalise the procedure according to each patient’s anatomy to achieve a revitalised natural expression that is in harmony with the face.

Upper blepharoplasty

This operation removes that excess skin from the upper eyelids which can give the patient a tired or sad appearance or can even affect vision. The incision is marked in the natural crease, ensuring a discreet scar that will be virtually unnoticeable. As necessary, skin, fat or part of the orbicularis oculi muscle is removed and the eyebrow height is assessed for a rejuvenating and functional result, without altering the natural expression.

Lower blepharoplasty

Aimed at correcting bags and wrinkles under the eyes, this procedure is performed with an incision which is either inside the eyelid (transconjunctival) or just below the eyelashes, as appropriate for each case. If the patient also has significant skin laxity, tightening techniques such as laser or radiofrequency are also used, achieving a balanced and natural appearance.

More information

The post-operative period is essential to consolidate the results of the blepharoplasty and ensure patient comfort. Grupo Pedro Jaén establishes a care and monitoring programme to assess healing, respond to concerns and offer continuous support. This minimises risks and results in faster and more efficient recovery.

Continuous monitoring

After surgery, check-ups are scheduled to assess how the swelling is reducing, the eyelids are adapting and the scar is healing. Recommendations are given for the use of cold compresses, moisturising eye drops or antibiotic ointments. In addition, the healing process is monitored to ensure early detection of any possible complications, making timely adjustments when necessary.

Integrated support

If the patient requires additional treatments, such as manual lymphatic drainage, hyperbaric therapy or corrective laser, they can access these in coordination with their surgeon. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that every detail is covered, offering peace of mind during recovery. At the end of this process, a visible improvement is noticeable in the eyes and a complete and natural rejuvenation of the face is achieved.
