Eye surgery

Beautify your eyes and eyelids

Aesthetic eye surgery is a specialty offered at the Clinique Amiia in Lausanne.

There are some surgical procedures whose finesse cannot be compromised by any systematization. Eyelid surgery must always be specific to each individual face. This helps us to understand what needs to be done, but above all it helps us to better explain what needs to be corrected, so that we can better meet expectations.

It's easy to understand that operating on the upper eyelids under general anesthesia is a curious incoherence that doesn't respect any specificity. It's just as easy to understand that the same eyelid surgery will not be performed on Caucasians as on Asians.

The surgical strategy must take into account the shape and position of the eyebrow, the distance between the lower and upper eyelids, the distance between the palpebral crease and the eyelashes, and the opening of the outer eyelid angle, a slackening of the lower eyelid, the obliquity that gives an almond-shaped eye, the presence of a hollow eye in the upper eyelid, the presence of bags in the lower eyelid, the color of the eyes, and the quality and texture of the skin. All these factors help to define this surgery not just as eyelid surgery, but as eye surgery. It's a wonderful aesthetic surgery.

In addition to excess skin, it is therefore possible to correct hollow eyes (skeletonization of the upper eyelid), sad eyes (drooping upper eyelid, ptosis) and tired eyes (insufficient distance between the 2 eyelids and loss of obliquity).

Eye surgery

In an Asian population, the surgical strategy must be adapted to a "full" eye, as fat is much more present in this type of eyelid. The watchword remains respect for the Asian eye and the palpebral crease. Often, after a first inexperienced cosmetic eyelid surgery, there is a legitimate disappointment in this population, due to the loss of the charm that characterizes the Asian eyelid. Knowing how to restore these Asian eyelids to their original charm is one of the surgical strategies you absolutely must know.

Surgery on the upper eyelids requires stitches (separate or overjet), which are removed about a week later. The scar is positioned in the crease of the eyelid, making scarring invisible. Recovery time is one week until the stitches are removed, but you can work from home the next day.

In the case of lower eyelids, and in particular fat pockets, these must be removed internally. There are no scars, no stitches to remove, and above all, there's no "scleral show ". Recovery is faster than for upper eyelids. Often, excess skin is used as an excuse to remove bags by cutaneous means, at the risk of leaving the final result with an unattractive round eye, whereas re-tensioning the lower eyelid and reoffering an almond-shaped eye is all that's needed to deal with the problem of excess skin.

Contrary to what you might think, male eyelid surgery requires just as much finesse as female surgery. The fundamental difference lies in the horizontality and thickness of the male eyebrow. Similarly, surgical strategy must take this male particularity into account.

Aesthetic eyelid surgery is therefore a surgical procedure that must be integrated into the overall aesthetics of the eyes. Some people are lucky enough to have spontaneously developed an attractive look, but it's this luck that leads to surgery earlier than one would like: in this case, a simple surgical refreshment is usually sufficient. On the other hand, there are other looks, particularly when the eyelids are asymmetrical, which require more elaborate strategies involving modification of the original look.

The success of this surgery depends more on the light and the reflection of the eyes than on anything else, which is why it's a much finer surgery than you might think.

Consultation

We analyze your eyes and discuss your goals for blepharoplasty. This step is essential to ensure that the procedure is the right one for you.

Anaesthesia

Blepharoplasty is generally performed under local anesthetic. It can also be performed under sedation. The decision is made jointly with the doctor.

Suites

Sutures are removed no later than one week after the operation. Any bruising disappears after about ten days.

Effect

Blepharoplasty results are generally visible 3 months after the operation. This is the time needed for the skin to settle back into place.

Board

Blepharoplasty should be seen as an operation that corrects the signs of aging around your eyes, while preserving the uniqueness and expressive features of your gaze.

More

Blepharoplasty can complement other surgical or aesthetic procedures, such as anti-wrinkle injections.

Le docteur Matthieu Jean a su soulager une douleur que j’avais au genou depuis deux ans. Lors d’une seule consultation, il a pu identifier un problème que plusieurs autres orthopédistes n’avaient pas réussi à détecter. Je le recommande vivement. Un médecin qui guérit 😁.

M.

Franchement bien.
L'accueil tout d'abord aimable et efficace.
Ensuite j'ai été suivie par le Dr Franz qui Ia su m'écouter et comprendre mes envies sans me "pousser à la consommation". En m'expliquant avec patience (beaucoup!) et clarté chaque geste.
Au final, le résultat correspond à mes attentes et j'y retournerai avec plaisir.

A very warm welcome! The design of the clinic is in line with the current trend for clean, minimalist design! The friendly director, Marie, has extensive experience in the management of aesthetic clinics, in addition to her training as a nurse. The clinic offers a wide range of non-invasive aesthetic treatments, as well as an operating room and recovery room for more extensive procedures.
I had the advantage of being treated by Dr. Deborah Schivo. The result is perfect. I recommend her. She'll be able to give you sound advice.
All in all, an excellent beauty center, with a central location and easy access.
