All the ravages of time can not only affect vision but also impart a weary look to the most energetic person. Fortunately, the recent surgical techniques for the eyelids can now restore (or prolong) the freshness of one\u2019s looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular and efficient means of restoring to your face this dynamic and happy look while maintaining its natural expression.

Special visual tests will be required, and you will need to avoid certain drugs, foods and supplements that induce bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n After the procedure, your eyes will be slightly swollen; it is advisable to apply cold packs for 24 to 48 hours to limit ecchymoses (bruises). You will need to sleep in a semi-seated position for a few days to limit swelling. This procedure is considered practically painless. Antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent infection. You will be able to move around and wear sunglasses immediately after surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n You will, however, need a driver to bring you back home. It will also be necessary to avoid strenuous activities during the first 24 to 36 hours. The sutures will be removed 4 or 5 days later. You will be able to go out in public one week later. You can use makeup to cover up any persisting marks. You will, however, need to slow down and avoid wearing contact lenses for two weeks. Excessive watering or dryness of the eyes can also occur during the first days. Artificial tears will be prescribed after the procedure. Sun and direct light will temporarily be more irritating, use sunglasses.<\/span><\/p>\n As with any procedure, cosmetic surgery involves a certain degree of risk. Achieving success with such a project requires a suitable subject and an experienced surgeon. Since blepharoplasty is a surgical treatment, your body will need to recover from the procedure before you can fully appreciate its benefits. Rest a lot. As the swelling disappears, you will be able to enjoy the youthful change operated on your face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This procedure consists of removing excess skin and bags around the eyes to give a
