“A fresh look that speaks of youth.”
The contemporary approach to cosmetic surgery of the periorbital region, including upper and lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, and, when indicated, temporal skin lift, is characterized by integrated, conservative, safe techniques aimed at a harmonious and natural result.
Upper blepharoplasty
Modern upper blepharoplasty techniques focus on selective removal of excess skin, with a focus on preservation of soft tissue and orbital fat. This approach reduces the risk of excessively altering physiognomy and ensures a smooth transition with facial features while preserving the expressiveness of the gaze. The result aims to correct eyelid heaviness, redefining the eyelid groove and restoring a fresher, more rested look.
Lower blepharoplasty
For the lower eyelid, transconjunctival techniques, when appropriate, allow direct access to the fatty bags without external incisions, minimizing visible scarring. Repositioning fat compartments, rather than simply removing them, gives the eye contour a softer, more youthful appearance, improving the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. Auxiliary technologies such as laser or radiofrequency can promote skin tightening and improved tissue quality.
Brow lift and temporal lift
The minimally invasive endoscopic brow lift corrects the position of the eyebrow, lifting it naturally and without noticeable scarring. The addition of a temporal skin lift, in conjunction with upper blepharoplasty, allows precise redefinition of the supero, outer third of the periorbital region. This procedure, often performed through limited incisions hidden in the temporal region, well concealed in the hair, aims to reposition and support the tissues in the lateral compartment of the eye, improving the shape of the lateral angle, giving the eye a more youthful, open and dynamic appearance. The combined work of upper blepharoplasty and temporal lift optimizes the harmony of the upper third of the face, providing an even more balanced and elegant result.
Safety and guiding principles
Safety is an indispensable element. The treatment course involves a thorough preoperative evaluation (visual field, general condition, tear film quality), targeted anesthetic selection (often local anesthesia with sedation), and the use of less invasive surgical techniques. The multidisciplinary team, consisting of plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, and specialized anesthesiologists, ensures an integrated approach aimed at reducing risks and properly managing any comorbidities.
Postoperative care and follow-up
The postoperative phase takes advantage of cold dressings, lubricating eye drops, and antibiotic ointments to minimize edema, redness, and discomfort. Close monitoring of the patient, coupled with empathetic and clear communication, allows for early detection and treatment of any minor complications and reassurance that the healing process is progressing normally. Recovery, thanks to less invasive techniques, is faster, allowing the patient to gradually resume normal activities.
In summary
the combination of upper blepharoplasty, temporal facelift and other contemporary periorbital procedures provides harmonious, stable and natural results. The modern surgical approach, based on advanced techniques, safety and personalization, puts the patient’s well-being at the center, restoring a bright, rested look consistent with individual physiology and personality
