French people who come to Paris for blepharoplasty

What is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that can be likened to a “palpebral lift”.
What causes drooping eyelids?
For a long time, drooping eyelids were thought to result from a loss of skin tone combined with the increased weight of the tissues caused by excess fat.

While skin slackening is well established and linked to collagen loss, the main mechanism most often associated with drooping eyelids is loss of volume. As numerous studies have shown, fat loss plays a major role in the sagging of the eyelid structures.

How to correct drooping eyelids for a 100% natural result?

Blepharoplasty aims to reopen the eyes by treating dark circles and drooping eyelids. Eyelid surgery can be performed using a variety of techniques, including pinch blepharoplasty, addition blepharoplasty with microlipofilling (lipostructure), removal of bags by tissue resection and nano-lipofilling (regenerative effect).

A surgeon who has mastered all these techniques can offer a tailor-made surgical solution, ensuring successful eyelid & oculoplastic surgery.

Why have eyelid surgery in Paris?

Paris has attracted a large number of international cosmetic surgery patients in recent years, and for good reason. So what are the advantages?

The reputation of Parisian surgeons

Whereas cosmetic surgery is seen as an outward sign of wealth in English-speaking countries or in Brazil, Europeans, and the French in particular, look for a discreet procedure that can be “seen without being seen”.

That’s why the French touch has quickly made a name for itself around the world, with France having contributed major innovative techniques in cosmetic surgery, such as liposuction and the mini lift.

In this capital of fashion and beauty, Parisian oculoplastic surgeons have benefited from the high technical standards of the city and from the glamour that is inseparable from rejuvenation surgery.

Author of the book Un nouveau regard sur le rajeunissement du visage, published by Odile Jacob, Dr Hayot has been an expert in eye surgery for over 30 years, and is widely recognized in Paris.

In France, he pioneered innovative techniques such as microlipofilling and nano-lipofilling, which he masters better than most.

His specialisation in rejuvenating the eyes ensures an unrivalled aesthetic and natural result, with an entirely bespoke procedure, calibrated to the millimetre. As an oculoplastic surgeon, his expertise is focused on eyelid and oculoplastic surgery.

Paris is the world capital of haute-couture, and has always been able to differentiate itself from ready-to-wear!

The profile of men and women who come to Paris for surgery

Eyelid surgery in Paris is now the option chosen by more and more people living in the Paris region.

The quest for discretion

Some patients want total discretion, and the difficulty is then how to account for the social downtime. A few days’ stay in Paris provides a simple answer. All the more so as, while social downtime is necessary with close family and friends to avoid giving them a negative image, there is nothing to stop you blending into an anonymous crowd (with or without dark glasses) to go shopping, visit museums or tour Paris.

The need for technical expertise and know-how in eye surgery

Many patients are also looking for the perfect surgical solution to rejuvenate their eyes, with practitioners who are masters of innovative, proven techniques.

To reach this level of technical expertise, these surgeons need a sufficient volume of patients to develop their skill and know-how to the point of perfection.

It’s possible in a big city like Paris, but illusory in the provinces.

Rapid advice from an eye care specialist with teleconsultation

With the recent health crisis, many professionals have had to turn to teleconsultation. We wanted to make a strength of this constraint by developing new, even more effective diagnostic tools. Having seen that a precise diagnosis and a tailor-made estimate were perfectly possible remotely, we decided to maintain this option for patients who do not live in the capital.

French law requires at least one medical consultation 15 days before any aesthetic procedure, and telemedicine makes it easier to consult a Parisian specialist. This initial consultation can be carried out remotely for any patient who so desires: a precise diagnosis can be made very easily, with a proposal for a customized estimate.

For the patient, getting a specialist’s opinion quickly is a considerable time-saver. If they decide on blepharoplasty, the legal requirements are respected. And there is of course a limited risk to the patient, since indications given remotely are checked and confirmed in person on the day chosen for the eyelid and oculoplastic surgery.

The desire to combine pleasures

Rejuvenating your eyes through eyelid surgery is often a gift you give yourself or a loved one. Combining it with other pleasures, such as a trip to Paris, makes for a coherent overall experience.

This is all the more advisable as blepharoplasty is often performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to regain full autonomy very quickly.

Choosing an oculoplastic surgeon in Paris is a choice of both the heart and the mind.
