Blepharoplasty —
Eyelid Surgery in Brazil.

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that removes excess skin, muscle, and/or fat from the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. The result is a more rested, alert, and youthful appearance without altering natural expression. It consistently ranks among the highest-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty removes the excess skin that droops over the lash line, creating a heavy or tired appearance. It can be performed under local anesthesia at the clinic — no hospitalization. Lower blepharoplasty removes or redistributes the fat pads that cause under-eye bags, performed under general anesthesia at the hospital.

It depends on the cause. Under-eye bags from fat protrusion respond very well to lower blepharoplasty. Pigmentation-based dark circles (genetic or sun damage) have different causes and require different treatments — assessed individually at consultation.

Yes — this is the most common combination. Performing both in one session achieves comprehensive facial rejuvenation with a single anesthesia and recovery. Dr. Lucas also frequently adds CO2 laser and Morpheus8 to the same session for optimal skin quality.

Days 1–3: mild swelling; bruising increasingly rare with Dr. Lucas's infiltration technique. Days 5–7: suture removal. Weeks 2–3: socially presentable with light makeup. Months 6–12: final result — scars virtually imperceptible.

Upper blepharoplasty under local anesthesia requires as little as 5–7 days in Brazil. Combined or lower blepharoplasty requires 10–14 days. Everything begins with an online telemedicine consultation — no travel needed at that stage.
