Eye plastic surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure. It is performed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Patients who are concerned not only with a quick aesthetic improvement, but often also with the functionality of their eyes, opt for the procedure. Blepharoplasty may involve only the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids or both at the same time. Eye plastics aim to remove excess loose skin that sags, affecting not only the overall appearance of the face, but also the field of vision. Eye plastics can visually reverse the effects of ageing, restore a more youthful facial appearance and improve visual function. Eye plastics also include the area under the lower eyelids. Removing or relocating excess fat in this area can help reduce bags under the eyes and improve facial aesthetics.

Another purpose for which eyelid plasty is performed is to improve the shape and contour of the eyelids in cases of asymmetry.

Eye plastic surgery can also result in the removal or reduction of wrinkles. Although not a dedicated procedure for this problem, by tightening the skin around the eyes, it can help reduce crow's feet and fine facial wrinkles.

Before deciding on the procedure, it is important to consult an experienced plastic surgeon who will assess the condition of the eyelids and discuss with the patient the expected results and possible risks and complications. This is because eyelid plasty is an invasive procedure. It is performed with a scalpel under local or general anaesthesia. A period of convalescence is necessary so that the patient can safely return to daily activities. An alternative to surgery is Vector Lift laser blepharoplasty. The procedure achieves an effect similar to plastic surgery without the need for incisions and the risk of scarring.
