Performance of correction of upper and lower eyelids can supply our patients with a lot of positive sensations, even thought the procedures are quite fast. Correction of upper eyelids consists in incision in natural wrinkle, then the excess of skin and orbicular muscle is removed, and that deepens the upper part of the eyelid. The wound is sutured with a very fine thread making the scar invisible.
Correction of lower eyelids consists in incision below the eyelash edge, which is invisible after the operation, then the skin is separated from the lower edge of orbital cavity and, if necessary the orbital septum is incised and the excess of adipose tissue is removed, thanks to which the „adipose sacks” located under the eyes are removed. The last stage of this procedure is removal of excess of skin, so there is no eyelid evertion. At the very end the wound is sutured. A very short and effective procedure is finished. In order to prevent infection, the antibiotic is applied on the wound. >Each one of us has a natural need of liquidation of inevitable results of time passage using variety of means. >The outstanding effects of correction of upper and lower eyelids are long-lasting and optically the face looks younger, thanks to what we can feel more self-confident, more opened and without complex of time passage. Exposure of hidden eye bulb and more expressive face cause, that we can be seen as very firm and determined persons, who are full of energy. Short time of entire procedure, mild and painless conduct, no need of hospitalization and fast healing cause that those procedures are performed very often, not only in older persons, but also in middle-aged persons.
