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, associated with increased tissue weight due to excess fat.

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

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

Blepharoplasty aims to reopen the eyes by removing 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, nano-lipofilling (regenerative effect)…

A surgeon who has mastered all these techniques can offer a tailor-made surgical solution, ensuring successful eyelid 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 Anglo-Saxon countries or Brazil, Europeans, and more particularly the French, are looking for a discreet surgical 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 plastic surgeons have benefited from the high technical standards of Paris, and the glamour that is inseparable from rejuvenation surgery.

His specialization in rejuvenating the eyes ensures an unrivalled aesthetic and natural result, with an entirely bespoke procedure, calibrated to the millimetre.

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

Choosing Paris for eyelid surgery is now a solution chosen by more and more people living in the Paris region.

The quest for discretion

Some patients want total discretion, and one of the problems is then to justify social exclusion. A few days’ stay in Paris provides a simple answer. All the more so as, if social exclusion is necessary with close family and friends to avoid giving them a negative image, there’s nothing to stop you blending in with 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 achieve this level of technical expertise, these aesthetic surgeons need to have sufficient patient volume to develop their expertise 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 opt for teleconsultation. We wanted to turn this constraint into a strength, by developing new, even more effective diagnostic tools. Seeing that it was perfectly possible to establish a precise diagnosis and draw up a tailor-made estimate, we decided to maintain this offer 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, it’s a tremendous time-saver to get a specialist’s opinion quickly. If they decide on blepharoplasty, legal constraints are respected. And, of course, there’s no risk to the patient, since indications given remotely are verified and confirmed in person on the day chosen for the eyelid surgery.

The desire to combine pleasures

Rejuvenating your eyes through eyelid surgery is often a gift you give yourself or your loved ones. Combining 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 eye rejuvenation specialist in Paris is a choice of both the heart and the mind!
