Periorbitoplasty

It is on the eyes we focus our gaze when communicating with a person, so any age-related changes in the skin and surrounding tissues are immediately visible, they spoil the appearance, giving a tired look and giving away age. To eliminate the problems that arise in the lower eyelid - circles under the eyes, wrinkles, wrinkles, modern plastic surgery offers an effective solution - blepharoplasty lower eyelids. By tightening the tissues, defects are removed, the skin is smoothed, and the visible signs of age changes are reduced, which improves the appearance, eliminates age-related changes, makes the look radiant and youthful.

Lower eye blepharoplasty is a surgical intervention, a plastic surgery with incisions, tissue tightening and subsequent suturing, which is aimed at eliminating age-related or other defects in the skin of the lower eyelid.

In addition to correcting age-related changes, periorbital surgery can help change individual facial features, eliminating asymmetry and defects. The doctor can change the shape of the eyes, making the look more open, corrects the cheekbones, giving them more volume and youthfulness. Overall, the face becomes more attractive and fresh, expressive.
