Eyes are an integral part of a face, together with nose, mouth, cheeks and forehead. Due to the heavy usage of eyes thorough the life, this part of face is the place, where the first signs of skin aging take place. Therefore the need for its redesign comes usually as the first in row.
Plastic surgery of eyelids is done on either lower or upper eyelids (or on both at the same time), depending on the circumstances. If the overall reason for the plastic surgery is the face aging then the face and neck lifting should precede the eyelid surgery. The human eye has its place in the eye cavity in a skull in the adipose pillows, which are embedded in soft capsule. Over the time, these capsules start to lose their steadiness and the fat moves forward. This creates pouches on the eyelids. In addition, the lack of skin elasticity creates big skin redundancies on the upper eyelids. These can be influenced by other factors as well, including genetic information, way of living, skin type, proclivity to intumescences (e.g. due to allergies or kidney problems).
The lower eyelids have big skin redundancies quite exceptionally, but if the skin falls down to the face limits then the surgical solution is more difficult. If the surgery is done on time, together with the removal of the adipose pouches in the whole of lower eyelids, than the skin tonus of the lower eyelids is prolonged and good look preserved for many years. It must be made clear that even the plastic surgery will not remove the fine mimical wrinkles on the lower eyelids and by the external eye corner. These are originated from the movement of mimical muscles and are individual and practically everlasting. Complementary procedure is the lower eyelids surgery with the cut extended to temples. This surgery can in certain cases smooth out cavernous "nose-to-lip" stria and possibly remove unpleasant bumps underneath the lower eyelids on the edge of the cheek. The scars always stay after the surgery, their quality is individual.

1 ) After the plastic surgeon's checkup and determining the date of surgery the patient gets the recommendation for the internal pre-surgical check-up, if necessary.
2) At least one month prior to the surgery the patient cannot use any drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid (which reduces the blood coagulation), for example Acylpyrin, Acylkoffin, Aspro, Alnagon. The usage of these drugs highly increases the risk of heavy bleeding during and after the surgery; such patient cannot undergo the surgery! !
3) The patient must count with at least 5 days off after the surgery - important for the healing after the surgery.
4) The patient cannot suffer from any virus-based or any other diseases or undergo
convalescence (recovery).
5) The surgery is paid for on the day of the surgery. The patient will receive a receipt for the amount paid.
6) The patient will be released home accompanied, with a bandage on eyes.
7) For the home care the patient has to rest in the bed (can be sitting), with cold poultices on his/her eyes.
8) The second day after the surgery the patient comes accompanied for the bandage redressing and leaves in the dark glasses. He is also informed about the next check-up, usually with the stitches removal.
9) Ladies, please come without your make-up on.
 

In the first days after the surgery the patient should rest in quiet, preferably lying in the bed. The patient can get up only for the toilet and for the meals. The patient also puts cold poultices on his/her eyes. Based on the patients shape we usually remove the stitches between the 4th and 7th day after the surgery. Swellings and bruises occur in the post-surgical period. Seven days after the surgery the patient can get back to his/her normal way of living, after 2 weeks women can start using the make-up and cosmetics, and 3 weeks after one can take part in physical activities and sports. It must be also pointed out that the surgery can improve the look of the person, but cannot change the skin quality or the creation of scars. The scars quality depends on the individual healing process.
