The best way to decide if you are a good candidate for a blepharoplasty or not is to look in the mirror. If you look older than you are and with tired eyes, a blefaroplasty must be the answer.

Upper blepharoplasty usually takes around one hour. A lower blepharoplasty (transconsjuntival) lats between and hour and hour and a half.

Questions that you must ask to your surgeon include certification (Member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery), years in practice and specialization in the facial aesthetic surgery. You must be informed about all the risks and complications with this surgery.

For upper blepharoplasty we use local anesthesia in all the cases. For lower transconjuntival blefaroplasty we usually uses local anesthesia plus sedation.

If you take any medication you should continue to take it, even on the day of your surgery. However, if you take aspirin or any of its derivatives you should stop taking it 14 days before the surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding.
