Before & After
Types and Methods
Blepharoplasty Methods:
- Classic – the incision is made on the outer side of the eyelid using a scalpel.
- Transconjunctival – instead of an incision, a puncture is performed from the inside of the eye.
- Mixed – when both types of surgery are used during the operation.
Eyelid Aesthetic Types
There are many types of blepharoplasty, which is also an Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery, each of which is designed to solve a specific problem:
- Lower eyelid aesthetic surgery
this operation allows you to eliminate flabbiness and sagging of the skin. It is also possible to hide excessively prominent lacrimal grooves. Operative correction of this type is assigned with a prominent transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. The incision is made along the eyelash line, so after the end of the rehabilitation period and complete healing, the traces of the intervention are almost invisible.
- Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery of the upper eyelids
indications are hernias, which serve as a weighting agent, due to which the lowering of the eyelid is observed. The incision is made on the outside of the skin area, which is subsequently hidden in a natural fold, so the trace of the intervention remains, but it is practically invisible.
- Circular Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery
the intervention includes work on the upper and lower eyelids. This operation is the most frequently chosen by plastic surgeons, therefore, with its help, it is possible to achieve the most complete and holistic result.
- Transconjunctival blepharoplasty
allows you to solve external problems by removing wen and hernias through special punctures on the mucosa. Scars do not remain as a result of the operation, since the skin is not affected, and the mucous membrane heals much faster and without consequences.
- Redistribution of fatty areas
an indication for this type of intervention is the obvious asymmetry of the facial area around the eyes. Accordingly, on one side, areas of fat are eliminated with further transplantation to the opposite side.
- Canthoplasty
is a method that allows you to change the natural shape of the eyes. Thanks to this operation, it is possible to create the effect of Asian eyes.
- Canthopexy
is prescribed to raise the outer corners of the eyes and then fix them in place.

History
The history of Eyelid Aesthetic goes back over 2000 years, it was first described by Susruta.
In the late 10th century, Arab surgeons described cauterization of the excess skin of the eyelids to restore a more youthful appearance. In the late 15th century, Celsus described the removal of the skin of the upper eyelid in his publication De re Medica. However, it was not until 1818 that the term blepharoplasty was coined by von Graefe to describe a case of eyelid reconstruction following cancer treatment.
In the 1950s, Costanares described in detail the anatomy of fatty eyelid herniation and the basis of modern blepharoplasty. McIndoe was the first to perform percutaneous eyelid fat resection, and many others have made contributions that further elucidate the relationship between lower eyelid fat and eyelid aging. By the end of the 20th century, significant changes began to emerge that promoted the benefits of fat preservation and redistribution rather than resection.
Therefore, a modern approach to blepharoplasty must take into account both the presence and absence of fat, as well as the role it plays in the aesthetics of the eyelids and the aging process.
