In Paris, the capital of elegance, the eyes are an eternal signature. They captivate, seduce, and tell a story. Yet with time, this delicate area reveals the passing years: drooping eyelids, hollow under-eyes, or puffiness can dull your natural glow. In 2025, aesthetic trends favor natural results, minimally invasive procedures, and regenerative approaches. Dr. Bernard Hayot, a renowned expert in oculoplastic surgery, offers refined solutions such as blepharoplasty and lipofilling — perfectly aligned with today’s aesthetic expectations. How do you choose the best option to rejuvenate your gaze? Discover the latest advances in world-class Parisian expertise.

Why Do Our Eyes Age? A Scientific Perspective

The eye area is especially vulnerable. Starting at age 35, the skin—thin as paper—loses about 1% of collagen each year. The under-eye fat gradually diminishes, deepening dark circles, while fat herniation leads to puffiness. The result? A tired appearance, even after a good night’s sleep. A study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that 80% of aesthetic patients seek to correct these signs in order to “regain their energy.”

In 2025, Parisian techniques combine precision and regeneration to restore facial harmony—without artifice.

Is It Really Possible to Rejuvenate the Eyes?

Signs of aging, such as drooping eyelids or hollow under-eyes, can be corrected with techniques like blepharoplasty or lipofilling, offering natural and long-lasting results.

Blepharoplasty: Precision for a Refreshed Look

Blepharoplasty reshapes the eyelids for long-lasting results. Performed as an outpatient procedure, it uses a CO₂ laser to create invisible incisions and allows for a quick recovery (8–10 days).

Upper Eyelids
Removes excess skin to open up the eyes, creating a brighter and more natural look.

Lower Eyelids
Élimine les poches via une voie transconjonctivale, sans cicatrice visible, pour un contour lisse.

2025 Innovation: Additive Blepharoplasty
Combines skin resection with fat grafting to avoid the “hollow eye” effect. According to Multiesthetique.fr, 90% of patients favor this approach for its natural-looking results.

Ideal for: Excess skin or pronounced under-eye bags.
Limitation: Brief social downtime.

Lipofilling: The Natural Revolution in Fillers

Lipofilling uses your own fat to restore volume, outperforming hyaluronic acid, which is often temporary and can sometimes lead to unnatural results. In 2025, it aligns with the trend of regenerative medicine, aiming to enhance skin quality over the long term.

Micro-lipofilling
Smooths hollow under-eyes and enhances the cheeks in just 15 minutes, for a naturally refreshed look.

Nano-lipofilling
A 2025 breakthrough: purified fat, rich in stem cells, regenerates the skin and reduces pigmented dark circles, offering both volumizing and revitalizing effects.

Ideal for: Hollow under-eyes, volume loss.
Limitation: Temporary results (1–2 years).

Frequently Asked Questions: Eye Rejuvenation

Does blepharoplasty leave scars?
No, thanks to the transconjunctival approach and CO₂ laser, incisions are virtually invisible as early as two weeks after the procedure.

What’s the difference between lipofilling and hyaluronic acid?
Lipofilling uses your own fat, offering a natural and long-lasting result (1–2 years). Hyaluronic acid is temporary (6–12 months) and may cause swelling.

How long is the recovery after nano-lipofilling?
2 to 3 days, with an immediate return to light activities.

Can I combine blepharoplasty and lipofilling?
Yes, additive blepharoplasty combines both for complete rejuvenation.

Is blepharoplasty painful?
No, the procedure is performed under local or light general anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is managed with mild painkillers, and most patients report only minimal discomfort.

Can you rejuvenate your eyes after 50?
Absolutely. Blepharoplasty and lipofilling are suitable at any age, with personalized protocols to treat puffiness, dark circles, or skin laxity after 50.

Is nano-lipofilling suitable for pigmented dark circles?
Yes, nano-lipofilling is particularly effective for pigmented dark circles, thanks to its regenerative properties that enhance skin quality.

Why are natural results preferred in 2025?
In 2025, patients seek results that preserve their natural appearance. Techniques like additive blepharoplasty and nano-lipofilling deliver subtle, harmonious outcomes—avoiding the “surgical” look.

What are the minimally invasive options for eye rejuvenation in 2025?
Minimally invasive options include micro-lipofilling and nano-lipofilling, which use autologous fat to restore volume and regenerate the skin around the eyes, offering quick recovery and natural-looking results.

How are treatments personalized for each patient?
Each patient receives a detailed consultation to assess their specific needs. The choice between blepharoplasty, lipofilling, or a combination of both is based on the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What is regenerative medicine in aesthetic eye surgery?
Regenerative medicine uses techniques like nano-lipofilling, which injects fat rich in stem cells not only to restore volume but also to improve skin quality—especially effective for treating pigmented dark circles.

How do you choose the right specialist for blepharoplasty or lipofilling?
It’s essential to choose a practitioner with experience and specialization in oculoplastic surgery and aesthetic medicine. Dr. Bernard Hayot, with over 30 years of experience and training under pioneers like Dr. Sydney Coleman, offers renowned expertise for natural, long-lasting results.

Are there trends like “Foxy Eyes” in eye rejuvenation?
While trends like “Foxy Eyes” aim to alter the eye shape for a more lifted effect, Dr. Hayot favors an approach that respects each patient’s natural features, avoiding overly dramatic transformations.

Are there preventive treatments for eye rejuvenation?
Yes, for younger patients looking to prevent signs of aging, treatments like nano-lipofilling can be used to preserve volume and improve skin quality before dark circles or under-eye bags become prominent.

What are the possible risks and complications of blepharoplasty and lipofilling?
Risks are rare but may include bruising, infection, or asymmetry. Blepharoplasty can cause temporary dry eyes, while lipofilling may require a touch-up if some of the fat is reabsorbed. A consultation with an experienced specialist helps minimize these risks.

How should you prepare for blepharoplasty or lipofilling?
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications and alcohol one week prior to the procedure. Stop smoking to optimize healing. A pre-operative consultation allows for tailored recommendations based on your health and individual needs.

What results can be expected and how can they be maintained?
Blepharoplasty offers a permanently refreshed and open look, while lipofilling may require touch-ups every 1–2 years. A healthy lifestyle—including sun protection and proper hydration—helps prolong the results.
