the lower eyelid : lift
During aging, the lower eyelid sometimes becomes flabby. Extra skin and distended eye muscles can make the eye look old and tired.
To remedy this situation, the lower eyelids are tightened. A subciliary laser incision is made near the eyelashes, allowing the surgeon to correct the muscles.
The eyelid regains its firm, toned appearance.
At a glance
Procedure: entry through a hidden incision flush with the eyelashes of the lower lid. The palpebral muscle (the eye's orbital muscle) is detached and repositioned in order to genuinely lift and tighten the eye.
Anaesthesia : local with light sedation (neuroleptic analgesia)
Duration: less than an hour
Hospitalization outpatient
Recovery period : usually 8 – 10 days
Advantages :
- Tightens the eye naturally
- No risk of changes to the eyes through surgical resectioning
- Permits tightening of the muscular folds that appear when smiling
