Blepharoplasty at OpenMed Warsaw and Płock

Blepharoplasty, or surgical eyelid correction, is a procedure involving the removal of excess skin and, if necessary, fatty tissue from the eyelid area. From a medical perspective, blepharoplasty is performed for both aesthetic and functional reasons, when a drooping eyelid restricts the field of vision. If you are considering blepharoplasty in Warsaw, we invite you to OpenMed in Wola. We also perform the procedure at OpenMed Płock.

During the consultation, our ophthalmology specialists will assess the indications for the procedure and explain the entire treatment process.

Eyelid skin is thin and susceptible to ageing processes. Over time, it becomes lax, muscles weaken and fatty tissue shifts. The result may be excess skin on the upper eyelid or so-called "bags" under the eyes, as well as a feeling of heavy eyelids. In some cases, the problem is not only aesthetic but also functional, especially when eyelid drooping affects daily vision.

Indications for blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is considered when changes in the eyelid area persist and affect quality of life. Our doctors at OpenMed qualify patients for the procedure after a thorough assessment of eyelid condition and patient expectations. The most common indications include:

excess upper eyelid skin restricting the field of vision,
drooping eyelids causing a feeling of heaviness and eye fatigue,
fatty herniations ("bags" under the eyes),
eyelid asymmetry or age-related changes in eyelid shape.

Each case requires individual assessment - during the consultation, we discuss whether the problem is aesthetic, functional or mixed in nature.

What does the qualification process look like at OpenMed Warsaw?

The process begins with a medical consultation. Our specialists conduct an interview, assess the skin condition, muscle tone and anatomical structure of the eye area. It is also important to exclude contraindications, such as certain ophthalmic or systemic conditions.

During the visit, we discuss the scope of the planned procedure, possible effects and the course of recovery. The patient receives clear information regarding preparation for the procedure and further post-operative management.

What does blepharoplasty at OpenMed involve?

Blepharoplasty is performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the scope of the procedure. Incisions are made in the natural folds of the eyelid skin, which helps to limit scar visibility.

During the procedure, excess skin is removed and, if necessary, fatty tissue as well. The aim is to restore proper eyelid tension and improve both its function and appearance. The procedure usually takes one to two hours.

Recovery and results

After the procedure, swelling and bruising around the eyes may appear, which gradually subside within about two weeks. Sutures are usually removed after approximately one week. Our specialists at OpenMed provide detailed recommendations regarding care and return to daily activities.

The result of blepharoplasty is an improved field of vision (in functional cases) and a more open, rested appearance of the eye area. The beneficial result lasts for many years.
