Brighter eyes with eyelid surgery

Drooping or heavy eyelids can make you look tired even when you feel refreshed. For some, the excess skin also causes a feeling of heaviness around the eyes and, in more severe cases, can affect your field of vision.

However, it is not always the eyelid itself that causes the problem. In some cases, the eyebrow has drooped and creates a heavier impression over the eye.

At Estetikcentrum in Malmö, we therefore make an individual assessment of the entire eye area before recommending treatment.

How the Process Works

What causes drooping eyelids?

Over time, the skin's elasticity decreases and the tissues around the eyes change.

Common causes are:

In some cases, several of these factors exist simultaneously.

Who is eyelid surgery suitable for?

Upper eyelid surgery may be appropriate for you if:

During the consultation, the surgeon assesses whether the problem is primarily in the eyelid or whether the position of the eyebrows also needs to be taken into account.

Why have eyelid surgery?

Benefits of eyelid surgery:

How does eyelid surgery work?

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia and sedation. The surgeon carefully makes incisions along the natural skin folds of the eyelids to reduce the visibility of scars. The surgeon then removes excess skin and possibly excess fat from the eyelids. If necessary, the surgeon may adjust the underlying muscles and tissues to give a more youthful and lifted effect to the eyelids. After the excess skin, fat, and any adjustments have been removed, the incisions are carefully sutured with fine threads.

How eyelid surgery is done

During upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid.

Excess skin is removed and, if necessary, other tissues can also be adjusted to create a balanced result.

Because the incision is placed in the natural crease of the eyelid, the scar may become discreet over time.

Drooping eyelids or lowered eyebrows?

It is important to distinguish between excess skin on the eyelid itself and a lowered eyebrow.

If the eyebrow has drooped, the skin over the eye may look more droopy even if the amount of excess skin on the eyelid itself is limited.

In these cases, a brow lift or forehead lift may be an alternative, sometimes in combination with eyelid surgery. At Estetikcentrum, eyebrow lifts and forehead lifts are also performed for those who need them.

After the operation

After eyelid surgery, it is common to experience:

  • Swelling
  • Bruises
  • Tenderness
  • Temporary dryness sensation
  • Tightness around the eyes

The discomfort gradually decreases as the area heals.

When the stitches are removed:
After 10 days.

When you can return to work:
You can return to work after about 7-10 days.

When can training resume:
You can start exercising again when the wound has healed after about 10 days.

Results after eyelid surgery

As the swelling subsides, the results gradually become apparent. The goal is to create a more youthful and open expression without changing the patient's natural appearance more than necessary. The surgical scar continues to develop over a longer period of time and usually gradually becomes less prominent.

Risker och biverkningar

Although lower eyelid surgery is a very safe procedure, there is always a small risk of complications. An uncommon side effect can be weakness in the muscles under the eyes, which can affect the movement of the eyelids. However, this is very rare and most patients recover without any problems. We ensure that you receive the best possible aftercare and that your healing is as trouble-free as possible. After the surgery, you may experience some swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is very common and simply depends on the procedure. The symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks. Remember that it is always important to follow the instructions of your surgeon – both before and after the surgery.

Satisfaction in focus

Our patients are very satisfied with their results after eyelid surgery. They feel that they look younger and more rested, while gaining increased self-confidence and a more comfortable everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read the answers to the most common questions we receive about eyelid surgery below. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.

This is determined during the consultation by the surgeon assessing both the eyelid skin and the position of the eyebrow.

A surgical procedure always leaves a scar, but the incision is placed in the natural crease of the eyelid to make it as discreet as possible.

After about 7-10 days

Yes, it is possible to have surgery on both eyelids at the same time.

A slight burning sensation may occur, but the wound is small and usually not very painful.

You can apply makeup again after the wound has completely healed, about 10 days later.

During upper eyelid surgery, we do two things to limit scarring: we do not sew together the muscles in the upper eyelids and we use only one layer of non-absorbable stitches to close the incision, which are removed after only one week.

This ensures that there is not too much tension around the incision while it heals. 

The recovery period after eyelid surgery is relatively short, often ten days to two weeks.

You should not wear contact lenses for at least two weeks after the procedure.

Restrictions after your eyelid surgery mean that you will most likely not be able to work for the first 10 days.

Your recovery is as important as the procedure itself, so your medical certificate ensures that you can take the time you need.
