The Procedure
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that removes excess skin and fat from both the upper and lower eyelids, significantly rejuvenating the gaze.
The incisions are concealed within the natural folds of the eyelid, making them virtually invisible. The result is a more open, rested and youthful appearance.
With our recovery and aftercare protocol, return to normal daily life is swift. The results are long-lasting and rejuvenate the overall appearance of the face in a very natural way.

Pre-operative
Complete pre-surgical tests are requested: blood tests, ECG report and chest X-ray to confirm your good state of health before the procedure.
02
Local anaesthesia or sedation
Tumescent anaesthesia is used to ensure maximum comfort and minimum bleeding during the procedure.
03
Minimal incisions
Strategic 2–3 mm micro-incisions in hidden areas to insert the extraction cannulas.
04
Modelling and sculpting
Selective and precise fat extraction with high-technology cannulas. The surgeon sculpts the contour with artistic vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions answered
Your surgery includes the surgical procedure, a personalised nutritional plan for the pre- and post-operative period, personal trainer sessions at our specialist gym, all medical follow-up appointments and continuous monitoring.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. Post-operative discomfort is mild and easily managed with the prescribed medication. Most patients describe minimal discomfort.
Initial results are visible within a few weeks. The final result is apparent between 3 and 6 months after surgery, once the skin has fully retracted.
With our comprehensive method, which includes a nutritionist and personal trainer, we help you build lasting habits to maintain your results permanently. The extracted fat cells do not return.
Most patients resume daily activities within 48–72 hours. Personalised medical follow-up ensures an optimal and safe recovery.
The first days there is swelling and mild bruising. By 7–14 days the appearance is socially presentable. The result typically lasts 8–15 years depending on genetics and skin care.
Yes, they are complementary. Botox treats dynamic wrinkles (crow's feet, frown lines) and fillers address deep grooves. Blepharoplasty corrects excess skin and bags, not fine lines.
Temporary ocular dryness may occur due to the surgical manipulation. It usually resolves within a few weeks with artificial tears. Patients with pre-existing dry eye are assessed individually.
Upper blepharoplasty uses the natural eyelid crease: the scar is hidden. The lower approach is either transconjunctival (no external scar) or subciliary (minimal scar beneath the lashes).
Usually with local anaesthesia plus sedation. It is a major outpatient procedure lasting approximately 1–2 hours. You go home the same day.

Honest information
Risks and safety of blepharoplasty
Every surgery, however minimally invasive, carries risks. We explain them transparently so you can decide with complete information. At NATURAL FIT Body Contouring® we apply the strictest protocols to minimise them as much as possible.
Temporary dry eye
Ocular dryness in the first weeks. Treated with artificial tears until complete resolution.
Lagophthalmos
Difficulty closing the eyelid completely, usually temporary due to swelling. Conservative technique minimises this risk.
Ectropion / retraction
Eversion of the lower eyelid, uncommon. Prevented with the correct technique and corrected if it occurs.
Asymmetries
Minor differences between both eyelids. Assessed at several months post-op and touched up if significant.
Bruising and swelling
Initial inflammation that subsides within 1–2 weeks. Cold compresses and head elevation shorten the process.
Hypertrophic scar
Exceptional on the eyelid due to the delicacy of the skin. Treated with massage and silicone if it occurs.
According to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE), blepharoplasty is one of the most performed facial surgeries and has the highest satisfaction rate when carried out by a qualified plastic surgeon, with a very high safety profile. Consult the society »
