Experiences with Eyelid Surgery: Aesthetic plastic surgery Royal✓

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure used to correct excess skin, fat deposits, and sagging around the eyes. This procedure not only enhances appearance but can also have a significant impact on patients' self-confidence and daily life. As with all aesthetic surgeries, patient experiences often provide the most valuable information on what to truly expect from the procedure.

Why do patients choose eyelid surgery?

The reasons people decide to undergo eyelid surgery vary, but the most common include:

Aesthetic Reasons: Sagging or excess eyelid skin can give the impression of aging, fatigue, or worry. Sometimes, the skin around the eyes sags to the point where it causes physical discomfort and reduces the field of vision.

Psychological Reasons: Many people feel that their eye area affects the overall appearance of their face. Drooping eyelids can lead to embarrassment, insecurity, or stress.

Functional Reasons: In some cases, when the upper layers of skin obstruct vision, surgery can provide functional benefits by improving visibility.

Patient Experiences with Eyelid Surgery

To offer a real understanding of what it’s like to undergo eyelid surgery, we share the experiences of real patients who have gone through this procedure. Meet Ivana, Marko, Jela, Dragan, and Slađana – five patients who decided to undergo eyelid surgery, but whose stories go far beyond just aesthetic changes.

Ivana, 42 years old
"I’ve struggled with excess skin on my eyelids for years, which made me look older than I was. My surroundings didn’t notice the problem, but I felt like my face was 'drooping'. When I decided to have the surgery, it wasn’t just an aesthetic decision. It turned out that the skin was really bothering me in daily life. The surgery went quickly, and after just a few weeks, I began noticing the difference. I’ve never felt better in my skin. This procedure gave me more confidence, and the results are completely natural."

Marko, 58 years old
"I never thought I’d need eyelid surgery, but as the years passed, it became obvious that my eyelids were becoming saggy. Not only did it affect my appearance, but it also caused problems with my vision. My friends noticed the difference, but only in a positive way. After the surgery, I didn’t just look younger – I could also see more clearly. Recovery wasn’t as difficult as I expected, and now I see it as both an aesthetic and functional correction."

Jela, 34 years old
"It was a long thought process about whether to take this step. I had very noticeable dark circles and sagging eyelids, which affected my professional life. I imagined how people would look at me. In the end, I decided, and the experience was completely positive. Although the first few days of recovery were a bit uncomfortable, now my face looks much livelier and younger. My friends noticed the change, but in a way that wasn’t too obvious, more like a natural result."

Dragan, 45 years old
"I’ve always been skeptical about cosmetic surgery, but as I got older, I noticed that my eyelids were causing increasing physical discomfort. At first, I felt uncomfortable, and then I realized that my eyes were becoming less noticeable. Before the surgery, I didn’t believe there would be such a difference, but now I can’t believe it. My gaze is wider, and I feel much younger. Recovery was relatively quick and without complications, which was a big plus."

Slađana, 60 years old
"Although I had beautiful eyes in my youth, as I got older, they started to sag. Surgery seemed like the last option, but now I am so thankful. In addition to the aesthetic change, my eyelids no longer fall into my field of vision. I really couldn’t believe how much the surgery impacted both my appearance and my psychological state. I feel like my face is finally in balance again."

What does eyelid surgery look like?

Eyelid surgery typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the scope of the surgery and the patient’s preferences. During the surgery, excess skin and fat are removed, and the eyelids are shaped according to the desired aesthetic standards.

Recovery after surgery

Most patients recover within 7 to 10 days, and the final aesthetic results can be evaluated after several weeks. Postoperative care includes using cold compresses, avoiding eye strain, and taking pain relief medication as prescribed by the doctor.
