Eyelid surgery in Valencia

Procedures that enhance the health and appearance of your eyes, delivering natural-looking results

As an ophthalmologist subspecialized in eyelid surgery in Valencia, my goal is to help you restore the freshness and vitality of your eyes. The eyelids not only affect appearance, but also visual function. That’s why I always treat the eyelid area with a focus on protecting and prioritizing your eye health.

Your eyes play a fundamental role in communication and in how you connect with the world. When the eyelids droop or your eyes look tired, many people experience discomfort and a decrease in self-confidence. That’s why every procedure I perform combines natural-looking results and aesthetic harmony with the safety and protection of your eyes.

My greatest commitment is to help you look as young as you feel, always providing personalized, safe care tailored to your needs—so you can both see well and feel confident in how you look.

Eyelid surgery procedures I perform

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces excess skin, fat, and sagging in the eyelids, improving firmness and restoring harmony to the eyes. It corrects under-eye bags, hollowing, and signs of fatigue, achieving a more rested and natural appearance.

In addition to its aesthetic benefits, blepharoplasty can also improve vision when excess upper eyelid skin interferes with full eye opening or partially obstructs the visual field. As a result, patients achieve a natural, safe, and functional outcome, with a more open and refreshed look.

Brow lift

A brow lift is a procedure designed to elevate the position of the eyebrows when they have descended over time, which can lead to a tired, sad, or aged appearance.

There are different techniques to perform this surgery. It can be done directly, through a controlled removal of skin just above the eyebrow, or indirectly, using small hidden incisions within the scalp that allow the tissues to be repositioned without visible scars.

This treatment helps open up the eyes, improve the harmony of the upper third of the face, and restore a fresher, more rested expression. The result is natural and balanced, always tailored to each patient’s individual features and expectations.

Eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelid)

Eyelid ptosis is a condition in which the upper eyelid sits lower than normal, affecting one or both eyes. It may appear with age or be present from birth, and it can create a tired appearance. In some cases, it may also reduce vision or cause discomfort due to the need to raise the eyebrows in order to see properly.

Ptosis surgery aims to lift the eyelid, correcting its drooping position and improving both visual function and the appearance of the eyes. The result is a more open, rested, and natural-looking gaze that restores harmony and confidence to your facial expression.

Eyelid retraction

Eyelid retraction is the abnormally high position of the upper eyelid or the abnormally low position of the lower eyelid. In other words, it occurs when the eyelid is more open than normal, exposing a larger area of the eye. It can affect one or both eyes and have both aesthetic and functional implications.

Eyelid retraction surgery can correct the abnormal position of the eyelid to achieve a more natural appearance and, when necessary, improve protection of the ocular surface. Treatment is tailored to each patient’s needs, depending on the affected eyelid, the degree of retraction and its underlying cause.

Eyelid lesions and tumors

Eyelid lesions, such as chalazion, styes, or warts, are very common and, in most cases, benign. They can cause inflammation, discomfort, or a foreign body sensation, affecting both comfort and the appearance of the eyes.

However, some lesions may be malignant, which is why a specialist evaluation is essential. In these cases, early diagnosis is key. Treatment usually involves removing or draining the lesion using minimally invasive techniques, with a quick and discreet recovery.

When malignant lesions are present, they can be treated with Mohs surgery, a technique that allows 100% of the margins to be examined during the procedure, ensuring complete removal while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

The goal is to eliminate the lesion while maintaining eyelid function and achieving a natural, harmonious result.

Entropion

Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid, usually the lower eyelid, turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the surface of the eye. This leads to discomfort, irritation, and in some cases, a risk to the cornea, affecting both comfort and visual health.

Treatment involves repositioning the eyelid so that it returns to its normal outward-facing position. The procedure helps relieve symptoms, protect vision, and restore the function and harmony of the eyelid area in a safe and effective way.

Ectropion

Ectropion is a condition in which the lower eyelid turns outward, which can cause discomfort, irritation, excessive tearing, and an increased risk of infections or eye damage due to greater exposure of the eye. It can also affect the appearance of the eyes.

Surgery aims to reposition the eyelid, restoring proper contact with the eye to improve both its function and appearance.

Periocular trauma

Periocular trauma can affect not only the eye, but also the eyelid tissues and the surrounding bony structures. The severity of the injury varies depending on the type and force of the impact, ranging from mild bruising to trauma that requires urgent medical attention or even surgery.

A specialist evaluation is essential to restore both the function and appearance of the area, ensuring a safe and optimal recovery for each patient.

This ensures that eyelid surgery not only improves the appearance of the eyelids but also protects eye health and helps prevent potential complications. Their training allows them to assess eyelid position, visual function, and any associated risks, ensuring a natural, safe, and harmonious result that preserves the patient’s expression.

How is the most appropriate procedure determined for my case?

Each surgery is planned after a comprehensive evaluation, taking into account eyelid position, eye function, and your aesthetic expectations. In this way, the most safe and effective procedure is selected to improve both appearance and visual comfort and health.
