Secondary correction of lower eyelids

Secondary lower eyelid plasty, known as lower eyelid blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed on patients who have undergone previous lower eyelid surgery but the results are not satisfactory or need to be corrected. The procedure is performed to improve aesthetics, remove asymmetry, and correct scarring, skin flaccidity, or residual excess fatty tissue. Due to the altered anatomy of the tissues after previous surgery, blepharoplasty requires a high degree of precision and experience on the part of the surgeon.

Duration: 1.5-2 hours.

Preparation: Consultation, blood tests, avoidance of blood-thinning drugs.

Course: Anaesthesia, correction of skin, scars or fatty tissue; precise placement of sutures.

Results: Improved aesthetics, reduction of asymmetry and scars; full effects after 2-3 months.

Recovery: Swelling and bruising resolve in 1-2 weeks; return to activity after 3-4 weeks.
