Eyelid

Restore a fresh, well-rested youthful look

As we age, the skin around our eyes wrinkles and sags, and puffy bags underneath the eyes begin to become more evident. While the eyes are a main focal point on the face, these can leave a person looking tired, strained or stressed. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, has become increasingly popular for men who want to improve their appearance and self confidence with a more youthful look. Auralia is the only clinic in Ireland that uses CO2 Laser Blepharoplasty. This means a quicker recovery and much less bruising. It also means less scarring.

I was always so paranoid about my eyelids. I wore sunglasses all seasons to cover the signs of my heavy lids. After years of feeling low and down on myself I booked an appointment to meet with Dr Salman. He was so relaxed and explained everything to me with confidence. I booked for the surgery immediately. I now feel like a completely different person. I love looking in the mirror again and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

About this treatment

Background to the procedure

Male eyelid surgery is a procedure in which excess skin and fat are removed from the upper and lower eyelids, correcting drooping upper eyelids and removing puffy bags from below the eyes, to give a well-rested, refreshed appearance.

What would I expect at the consultation?

All consultations are private one-on-one sessions with Dr. Salman that normally last 20-30 minutes. During that time, the patient and surgeon will discuss their expectations for the results of the eyelid surgery. The surgeon will also investigate the medical history of the surgery candidate, to ensure that the procedure is appropriate for the individual.

As part of the process, Dr. Salman will give you the opportunity to examine patient photographs, so that you can see for yourself what to expect from the surgery. He will discuss with you the range of surgical techniques to get your desired effect and any additional surgical and non-surgical treatments that may be available and of benefit to you.

What is involved with eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures that is tailored to an individual patient’s needs and wants, as no two patients are the same. Blepharoplasty usually takes one to two hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. The patient will have an opportunity to discuss the procedure best suited to their needs in greater detail during the consultation.

What is the recovery after eyelid surgery?

Recovery time for eyelid surgery will vary amongst different individuals. Directly following your surgery, you should rest with your head elevated and you may be instructed to apply a cold compress to your eyelids.

Work and daily activities should be avoided for a few days after eyelift surgery. A tight sensation and mild discomfort will result from the surgery, as well as swelling and bruising. Typically the bruising and swelling disappears within 7-10 days, but some patients will find that it is more persistent. Vision may appear blurry for a few days, and an increased sensitivity to lights. Either tearing or dryness may accompany burning or itching feelings. Normal activities can be resumed within ten days or less.

Avoid the sun or any UV exposure for a few months after an eyelift surgery. Always wear UV protective sunglasses. You may also wish to buy the larger frames to help cover up all of the areas around your eyelids. Sun exposure can make your skin look pinkish, red or splotchy and will harm your sensitive eyes.

What are the risks of complication?

All surgery, including cosmetic surgery, carries risks. Any potential complications will be discussed during consultation and you will be given a copy in writing.
