Blepharoplasty in Switzerland - Refreshing eyes with eyelid surgery
Aging of the periorbital area (around the eyes) can make the face look tired, sad or aged, even in healthy patients. Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct excess skin or fatty bags around the upper and/or lower eyelids.
This simple, targeted gesture reveals a more youthful, luminous and rested look, without altering the natural expression of the face.
For whom is this surgery indicated?
Blepharoplasty is indicated if you have :
- Excess skin on the upper eyelids,
- Bags under the eyes (accumulation of fat),
- Apparent eye fatigue, even at rest,
- Functional discomfort due to relaxation of the upper eyelids.
This procedure is performed on both men and women, starting in their forties.
Preoperative consultation with Dr. Mehdi-Sébastien BECK
During the consultation, Dr. Mehdi-Sébastien BECK assesses:
- The type of correction to be performed (upper or lower eyelids, or both),
- Skin quality and tissue positioning,
- The patient’s expectations and the desired result.
You will receive a complete information sheet, a personalized estimate and pre-operative recommendations.
It is important toavoid aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs in the days leading up to the procedure, to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising.
Blepharoplasty procedure
Surgery is generally performed under local anaesthetic, in a secure, outpatient setting (same-day discharge, approximately 2 hours later).
Dr. Mehdi-Sébastien BECK performs this procedure using fine, precise techniques to :
- Remove excess skin,
- Eliminate or reposition under-orbital fat,
- Restore freshness and clarity to the eyes, while preserving a natural look.
After the operation: care and recovery
Close post-operative follow-up is organized to optimize recovery:
- Application of specific treatments to limit swelling,
- LED therapy to stimulate healing and reduce bruising.
Patients are advised to wear dark sunglasses after the procedure to protect the eyes, which are particularly sensitive to light in the first few hours.
Most stigmata (swelling, bruising) disappear within 10 to 15 days, enabling a rapid return to social life.
