Eyelid surgery – where aesthetics meets functionality
Imagine waking up in the morning with eyes that look rejuvenated and refreshed, without telltale signs of fatigue and aging. That’s basically what eyelid surgery brings you. It targets the delicate area around your eyes and lifts saggy eyelids, removes excess skin and fat tissue and gets rid of puffiness. All this contributes to looking older or more tired than you actually feel.
Eyelid surgery is performed with absolute precision. Excess skin and fat tissue is carefully removed or repositioned to create a smoother and more youthful contour around your eyes. What’s the final result? Your eyes look more alert, brighter and more vibrant.

Not only does it return the sparkle in your eyes but it also restores your eyes’ vitality. You can finally look as vibrant on the outside as you feel on the inside!

Options for the right type of eyelid surgery
A great thing about eyelid surgery is that it offers you a range of options to meet your personal needs. You can choose:
Upper eyelid surgery – If you want to address saggy skin and excess fat tissue on your upper eyelids this type is your solution. You will get rid of a tired or aging look. Your plastic surgeon removes the excess tissue and makes your eyes more open, alert and youthful. If your eyelids are very droopy and interfere with your field of vision, Dr Tony Park will suggest this type of eyelid surgery too.
Lower eyelid surgery – this type of eyelid surgery is best for you if you want to eliminate puffiness and bags under your eyes, which are created by fat deposits and fluid retention. Lower eyelid surgery also reduces wrinkles and fine lines in this area and makes your eyes look rested and rejuvenated. Your plastic surgeon can also tighten the lower eyelid muscle to improve the overall tone and texture of this area.
Both upper and lower eyelid surgery – If you want to improve both eyelids, this type is your answer. It is a more extensive procedure, where your surgeon addresses both of your eyelids. The surgery lasts a bit longer but the final results are smooth and natural-looking contours of your eyes. The surgeon lifts the saggy skin on your upper eyelids and eliminates bags and fat tissue from your lower eyelids to enhance your entire facial look.
After you consult with Lucia Clinic plastic surgeons, you will understand which type of eyelid surgery will bring you the desired results.
Go through recovery without much hustle
Your recovery period goes through stages – each stage brings you closer to your desired results. After eyelid surgery, you can expect a recovery period to last between 1 to 2 weeks. After two weeks your eyelids should completely heal.
Your Lucia Clinic plastic surgeons will give you a list of instructions to follow during the recovery period – stick to them and you will heal quickly.
Dr. Tony Park suggests applying ice packs on your eyes during the first day after surgery – this will help you with the swelling and bruising. Also, you should sleep with your head slightly elevated to prevent excessive swelling. If you are going outside, don’t forget your sunglasses – your eyes will be sensitive to the sun.
After 2 weeks you can resume your normal activities because most of the bruising and swelling will resolve.
There are some things you should avoid during the recovery period like doing strenuous activities like jogging, swimming, or lifting heavy objects. Don’t touch or rub your eyes to avoid infections and don’t take any blood-thinning medicines.
Remember that you are unique so your recovery period will be unique. But with Lucia Clinic’s plastic surgeons by your side, you can expect your recovery period to be smooth and quick.
