The modern 3D blepharoplasty technique gives a definitive solution to droopy eyelids, dark circles and eye bags, it not only removes excess skin and fat of the upper and lower eyelids, it also completes a 3D restoration of the periocular area in all 3 axes, molding the anatomy into a younger state. An excellent cosmetic procedure is one that gives a perfect, aesthetic result without any sign of cosmetic surgery! Dr. Tzamantaki has gained a reputation over the years for natural results in blepharoplasty, for the extremely fastand smooth recovery of her patients, and for their meticulous postoperative care. The doctor’s main goal is to deliver the perfect aesthetic result with minimal discomfort.
WHAT IS BLEPHAROPLASTY?
At ‘’Clinic Of Excellence Plasis’’ our doctors only use the renown Plasma Blade, scalpel-Plasma, during the classic upper and lower blepharoplasty. It is a scalpel with advanced technology allowing it to cauterize the vessels while the surgeon performs the incision. This gives an enormous advantage to the postoperative period as it minimizes bruising, swelling and healing time.
Blepharoplasty will treat droopy eyelids, bags, eyelid wrinkles, but it is not always the solution for a natural result! Nor is it a solution that can be applied to everyone in the same way. The diligent preoperative planning, the aesthetic perception, the absolute understanding of the natural restoration of the anatomy as well as the doctor’s understanding of your own “wants”, are the key elements of the perfect result to this surgery.
HOW IS BLEPHAROPLASTY PERFORMED?
Blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia and sedation. It can be done on the upper or lower eyelids, it can be combined with Mini Lift, a Scarless Lift, a Brow Lift or temporal Lift / Foxy Eyes. It may be necessary to remove fat from the double chin with Vaser Lipo liposuction and add liposculpture as Nano Fat to the periocular area. Everything will depend on the patient’s situation and expectations to help us arrive to the right solution. Preoperative preparation is required about a week before surgery so that the body can cope in the best possible way postoperatively. Preoperative control includes specific clinical examinations. The classic surgery time for blepharoplasty is less than an hour, while depending on the combined procedures it can reach 2 to 2.5 hours. Two hours after the surgery the patient returns home with post care instructions. The removal of sutures is done on the 5th – 6th postoperative day exclusively by the doctor. The postoperative course thanks to the Plasma Blade is really easy and fast. On the 2nd – 3rd day post the surgery the patient returns to their normal routine, with already visible results. Our doctor will ensure that surgery experience very smooth and trouble-free.
IS BLEPHAROPLASTY THE RIGHT PROCEDURE FOR ME?
Depending on the patients need, the choice of surgery or surgery combinations will be selected, in the first appointment the doctor will provide all the solutions that will achieve the maximum results. Other surgeries that accompany a successful result include a Brow Lift which lifts the brown arch and forehead. Liposculpture or lipotransfer to correct intense lipoatrophy in the periorbital area. The clinical examination and discussion with Dr. Tzamantaki will answer all your questions and determine the right course of action.
WHAT IS INCISION-FREE 3D BLEPHAROPLASTY?
During aging, ptosis in the upper and lower eyelid area alters the characteristics of youth. The 3D three-dimensional restoration of the periocular region in all three axes (horizontal, vertical, and anteroposterior) is important to achieve a natural and harmonious result but also not to alter the physical characteristics such as changing the shape of the eyes, ectropion or scleral show, etc. Restoration is complex and depends on many individual elements. Scarless or incisionless blepharoplasty should be done in some cases to restore the lower eyelids. There the incision is made on the conjunctiva (ie it is inside the inner rim of the lower eyelid). Fat is removed or in other cases fallen tissues are lifted (Mid Face Lift) without having to remove the skin of the lower eyelid. In other cases, through the intraconjunctival approach, the fat must be rearranged and at the same time the suborbital area must be sculpted with the addition of fat (it is the area under the lower eyelid at the border with the cheek). This is the most advanced blepharoplasty that requires experience and mastery. Dr. Tzamantaki with her many years of experience will guide you correctly during the clinical examination.
HOW MUCH DOES BLEPHAROPLASTY COST?
Like all cosmetic plastic surgery, the cost of blepharoplasty will depend on many different factors. If e.g. only upper blepharoplasty or lower blepharoplasty is performed. Whether it must be combined with Brow Lift or liposuction in the forehip, whether 3D blepharoplasty must be done with the corresponding fat or even with injectables. It is certainly not a cheap and affordable operation for everyone. The use of Plasma-scalpel increases the cost but provides an extremely easy and faster postoperative period. During your visit, withour doctor and after the clinical examination you will know exactly which procedure is requires and the corresponding cost.
