At Strandkliniken, we offer precise and compassionate eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) for patients seeking a more youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance. Led by Dr. Oya, a specialist in plastic surgery since 1994, our clinic provides expert treatment with deep understanding of both functional and aesthetic concerns.
Whether you wish to correct sagging eyelids, reduce under-eye bags, or address vision impairment caused by excess skin, eyelid surgery may be the solution. We invite you to book a personal consultation to discuss your goals and receive tailored recommendations.
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery is a procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The result is a more open, rested look—without altering your natural expression. This procedure can also alleviate heaviness in the eyelids that may interfere with vision.
Conditions Eyelid Surgery Can Treat:
- Drooping or sagging upper eyelids
- Puffiness or fat deposits in the upper eyelid
- Bags or swelling under the eyes
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
- Impaired vision due to excess eyelid skin
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery if you:
- Are in good general health
- Do not have serious eye conditions
- Do not smoke (or are willing to stop before and after surgery)
- Have realistic expectations
- Feel your eyelids give you a tired or aged appearance, or impair your vision
Note: In some cases, drooping eyelids may be due to brow ptosis or muscle weakening. Dr. Oya will assess your anatomy and recommend the appropriate treatment.
The Procedure
Eyelid surgery typically takes about 1–2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia. General anesthesia is available upon request.
Step-by-Step:
- Anesthesia – Local or general, depending on your preference and needs.
- Incision – Placed in the natural crease (upper eyelid) or just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (lower eyelid).
- Tissue Adjustment – Fat is removed or repositioned, muscles may be tightened, and excess skin is trimmed.
- Closure – The incisions are closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Swelling and bruising are common for the first 5–10 days.
- Cold compresses and ointment help reduce discomfort.
- Stitches are usually removed after 7–10 days.
- Sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended during healing.
- Avoid rubbing eyes or intense activity for 1–2 weeks.
Most patients feel presentable within 10–14 days, with full results visible within a few weeks. The rejuvenating effects of eyelid surgery can last for many years.
Risks and Considerations
Eyelid surgery is generally safe, but like all surgical procedures, it carries some risks:
- Temporary dryness or irritation
- Bruising and swelling
- Infection or bleeding
- Difficulty closing eyes fully (usually temporary)
- Rarely: lid malposition or visual disturbance
Dr. Oya will review all risks with you during consultation and provide thorough aftercare guidance.
Preparing for Surgery
- Stop smoking at least two weeks before and after surgery
- Avoid blood-thinning medications (e.g. aspirin, NSAIDs) as advised
- Arrange transportation and someone to help the first night post-op
- Prepare recovery items: sunglasses, gentle cleanser, cool packs, soft pillows
