Eyelid surgery is one of the most popular facial surgeries we perform at Estetikcentrum. An eyelid surgery is suitable for those who feel that the eyelids are very drooping or who are bothered by bags under the eyes. Even in cases where drooping eyelids can limit the field of vision, we at Estetikcentrum can help you get your clear and alert gaze back. 

What does it take to get an eyelid surgery? The answer to this question is not always straightforward, but in short, there are several criteria that you should meet to be a suitable candidate.

When eyelid surgery is right for you - 3 key criteria

Whether for aesthetic or medical reasons, you are always welcome to visit us at Estetikcentrum in Malmö. We have friendly, service-oriented and highly competent surgeons with many years of experience in plastic surgery. During a consultation, you will have the opportunity to meet your surgeon and discuss any conditions, wishes and results. Remember that you are always welcome to raise questions and concerns!
