How does the non-surgical blepharoplasty procedure work?
- Laser resurfacing - fractional rejuvenation DOT
The effect of the SmartXide DOT CO2 laser is to create unique microzones, in place of which intensive cell division and regeneration of the epidermis immediately begins. - NITHYA Collagen Rejuvenation
Injections of safe and pure NITHYA collagen reduce the number of wrinkles around the eyes, improve the quality of the skin and tighten it. - Contour plastic surgery of nasolacrimal grooves
To correct pronounced nasolacrimal grooves, various fillers are used to fill the pronounced grooves and give the area around the eyes a fresh and rested look for a long time. - Lipofilling of the eyelids
Correction of the area around the eyes with the patient’s own fat allows you to replenish the required volume and correct age-related changes. The effect lasts for many years!
Techniques
Blepharoplasty without surgery involves several methods that depend on the tools used to influence skin tissue:
- Hardware (thermo-lifting, laser blepharoplasty, dart therapy, ultrasonic smas-lifting, thermage)
- Injection (mesotherapy)
Laser
Eyelid lift without laser surgery allows you to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes in a short time. Erbium or carbon dioxide lasers are used for exposure.
The latest technology devices allow you to control the degree of skin heating and the depth of beam penetration.
The method is that the laser acts on tissues and stimulates them to produce collagen and elastin - substances that maintain youthful and elastic skin. The duration of non-surgical laser blepharoplasty is about 30 minutes.

DROT therapy
DROT therapy is a lifting process using the latest technologies based on the interaction of RF radiation and fractional laser thermolysis.
The method consists of a deep pinpoint effect on the eyelid, after which active collagen production occurs. Thanks to this, other areas of tissue are not damaged. This contributes to less post-procedure swelling and faster skin recovery.
Using this technique, the following happens:
- improving skin elasticity;
- reduction of pigmentation;
- eyelid lifting;
- reduction of wrinkles.
Thermolifting
Thermolifting is different in that the deep layers of the skin are exposed to radio waves, after which they heat up and begin to produce collagen.
What not to do after blepharoplasty
Eyelid blepharoplasty is a procedure that has minimal risk of complications.
When heated, the blood begins to circulate more actively, resulting in the cleansing of clogged vessels. This process smoothes wrinkles and improves complexion.
The effect of thermolifting appears approximately 3 days after the procedure. In addition to radio wave, infrared thermolifting is also used. Typically such procedures are performed with a Thermacool device. The results of this method last up to 4 years.
Thermolifting is not recommended for those with blood vessels located close to the surface of the skin, as well as for women over 60 years of age.
Ultrasonic smas-lifting
Ultrasonic smas-lifting is a blepharoplasty without incisions, based on the action of ultrasonic pulses that have different lengths.
By affecting the tissue in this way, the impulses cause the collagen to shrink and tighten the skin. A cosmetologist must clearly monitor the process of tissue tension.
This procedure copes well with problems such as:
- bags and swelling;
- wrinkles;
- flabby skin texture.
However, for a lasting effect, one blepharoplasty procedure without an incision will not be enough. To get results for 5-7 years, you should take a course, which can include up to 5 sessions.
Electroblepharoplasty
The electroblepharoplasty method involves exposing the eyelid tissue to high-frequency electric current, which provokes the production of collagen. The main advantage of this method is its painlessness, which eliminates the need for anesthesia.
Injection (mesotherapy)
Mesotherapy is a blepharoplasty method in which nutrients are introduced into the skin using microinjections. The doctor selects the injections themselves and their injection sites individually.
Nutrients stimulate metabolism in cells. Thanks to this, the eyelids are tightened, bags are reduced and the skin texture is smoothed.
The newest method of mesotherapy involves injections of vitamin gel into the tissue of the lower eyelid, which helps smooth the surface of the skin. This method of rejuvenation is practically painless, however, a lot depends on the specialist and the drug.
Blepharoplasty for Asian eyes
Blepharoplasty of Asian eyes is a type of plastic surgery, the method of which is to change the shape of the incision of the eyes, as a result of which it is possible to achieve a European-type outline.
The medicine only affects the injection site. It contains amino acids, collagen, elastin, vitamin complex and other nutrients.
Mesotherapy has a number of advantages:
- no pain;
- no mechanical impact on the skin;
- there are no bruises or swelling after the procedure.
In order for the effect of injection blepharoplasty to last for several years, it is necessary to undergo a course of several such procedures, which will take up to 2 months.
Plasma
Plasma blepharoplasty refers to a type of plastic surgery that involves correcting the shape of the eyes and lifting the eyelids using a special device. It acts precisely at certain intervals.
At its core, this is coagulation of the skin, in which there is no heating of neighboring structures. As a result, wrinkles are eliminated.
Non-injection blepharoplasty is aimed at rejuvenating the skin around the eyes. During the procedure, a plasma arc is created between the tip of the device and the upper layer of the epidermis. It creates microdamages, after which the regeneration process starts. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother and its condition improves.
How to remove stitches after blepharoplasty
Most patients are concerned about what their surgical scars will look like, where they will be located, and how long it will take to fully recover.
Mini-blepharoplasty technology resembles the effect of current, but allows you to get a more pronounced result without resorting to surgery.
The technique is very popular among middle-aged and elderly women, but can be performed on girls.
Contraindications:
- diabetes;
- diseases of the skin and connective tissue;
- inflammatory processes in the treatment area;
- oncology;
- predisposition to the formation of keloid scars;
- pregnancy and lactation (it is advisable that at least a year has passed after completion of lactation).
Your doctor will tell you more about possible contraindications during your consultation. Before non-surgical blepharoplasty, an in-person consultation is required in all cases.
Deception and inefficiency
So, without surgery with anesthesia, you can remove the manifestation of the tear trough; work with the quality and quantity of skin if there is excess; hide (camouflage) light bags under the eyes in case of a moderate manifestation of the problem.
But first of all, we want to say that every patient is unique ! Only during an in-person examination can a doctor recommend one or another method of correction.
No procedure can radically correct severe sagging of the upper eyelid stage 4 - only a scalpel.
There are a number of dubious proposals to eliminate problems in just one procedure and without a rehabilitation period.
As an example, consider a before/after photo on one of the information sites:
radio lifting is indicated as a procedure . If you try to find the same photographs on other sites , it turns out that the same illustration is given after microcurrents, and after medium peeling, and after patches, although most likely these are the results before/after botulinum therapy.

Muscles that form the contour of the eyelid
The contour of the upper eyelid largely depends on the condition of two muscles: the orbicularis oculi muscle and the lateral part of the frontal belly of the fronto-occipital muscle (the muscle that raises the eyebrow).
The orbicularis oculi muscle is the most important functional muscle of the face. It not only regulates the width of the palpebral fissure, but also keeps the retrobulbar tissue, which is prone to edema, from bulging. In addition, constant blinking movements promote lymph drainage and stimulate the cornea to be moistened with tear fluid, compressing the lacrimal sac.
The orbicularis oculi muscle consists of several bundles that can contract autonomously. Therefore, it is possible that the muscle works (closing of the eyelids, blinking, widening of the palpebral fissure occurs), but some muscle bundles do not participate in the work. This is precisely the phenomenon we observe with ptosis of the upper eyelid, associated with atony of the superior outer part of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
The levator brow muscle is part of the tendon-muscular helmet. Its activity affects the location of the temporal part of the eyebrow. With reduced tone, the eyebrow is lowered, the gaze is “heavy”, with an overhanging fold.
The use of hardware methods for eyelid lifting
Ptosis of soft tissues is considered an indication for surgical intervention - the methods available to therapeutic cosmetology are very limited in this case. There are a number of good methods for relieving swelling, but it is difficult to influence muscle tone.
If the cause of ptosis is weakness of the muscle frame, then neither Botox, nor peelings, nor fillers are indicated. Iontophoresis and mesotherapy with appropriate drugs have an indirect effect. The only factor that directly affects muscle tone is electrical myostimulation.
Current pulses, acting on excitable muscle and nerve tissue, cause contraction of muscle fibers. The main effect of electromyostimulation is muscle strengthening. There is also an increase in blood and lymph circulation, restoration of innervation, and normalization of metabolism.
Thus, when there is a decrease in muscle tone or atrophy, electrical myostimulation is the method of choice. In this case, the procedure can be combined with massage, masks, mesotherapy, laser therapy and other methods.
Hardware face lifting methods are based on the use of physical factors to restore the appearance and health of tissues.
Depending on the leading cause of deterioration in the appearance of the face, we will use different physical influences - the most effective in each specific case.
What it is
Circular blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, is a radical but effective method to correct existing (even serious) problems in the eye area. This is a surgical procedure and is therefore performed exclusively by professionals in an outpatient, sterile environment. Performing eyelid surgery at home, as well as without a document of completed training and professional skills, is unacceptable.
A circular eyelid lift is considered a complex and responsible procedure. It involves combining two procedures (blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelids) into one, as a result, the doctor is faced with the task of correcting all the deficiencies of the periorbital area. The duration of surgery can take up to 3 hours.
Types of correction
A circumferential eyelid lift combines upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty techniques.
The lower eyelid blepharoplasty technique involves eliminating sagging skin of the lower eyelid, cutting off excess tissue and fat deposits.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty allows you to correct defects of the upper eyelid. The incision is made along the natural fold.
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty can also be used. In this case, excess accumulated fatty deposits are removed through incisions in the conjunctiva, which covers the inner surface of the eyelid and forms the arches.
A scalpel or laser beam is used to make cuts. Laser treatment is more expensive, but the cut is extremely thin and “jewel-like.” The laser also partially cauterizes the eyelid tissue, reducing the risk of infection.
Price
Many professional centers and plastic surgery clinics offer circular blepharoplasty; your task is to choose the best one. To do this, trust patient reviews, read the doctor’s qualifications and documentation of his professional skills.
How much does the procedure cost? Expect that an upper and lower eyelid lift in Moscow will cost 50,000 rubles and more. The average cost of the operation is 78–120 thousand rubles.
Excellent reviews of the procedure were received by the aesthetic medicine center Seline Clinic, multidisciplinary medical, therapeutic and diagnostic, “Sm-Clinic” and others.
The cost of blepharoplasty is influenced by a number of factors:
- the age of the patient and the complexity of the problem;
- status of the clinic and qualifications of the doctor;
- location of the clinic;
- length of hospital stay after surgery.
Note! The final result and the risk of complications largely depend on the choice of the doctor and his professionalism, so approach this issue with maximum demands and scrupulousness. Savings are inappropriate here; cheap options often promise large expenses for postoperative correction and restorative procedures.
Preparation
An eyelid lift requires special preparation. First, you need to examine your blood and urine for the presence of hepatitis, HIV, diabetes, viral pathologies and other contraindications. To determine the level of coagulation, a coagulogram is performed.
Almost always, blepharoplasty is done under local anesthesia, but if general anesthesia is necessary, then fluorography and an ECG must be done before the procedure. After passing all the tests, you should proceed to the preparation itself.
It is not recommended to perform the operation during menstruation. You should not take blood thinners for several days before the procedure.
The manipulation is carried out on an empty stomach, so 8 hours before the session you should not drink or eat any food. Before a facelift, it is important to get a good night's sleep and not use any facial cosmetics.
