The Upper Eyelid Lift Procedure at Renovatio Clinic with Dr. Sof
THE UPPER EYELID LIFT SURGERY
Considering an upper eyelid lift to rejuvenate your eyes and achieve a more youthful appearance? Discover what to expect when you choose Dr. Sofiane Rimouche for your eyelid lift journey:
Consultation and Evaluation: Your eyelid lift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sof. During this initial meeting, Dr. Sof will listen attentively to your concerns, assess your eyelid anatomy, and discuss your goals for eyelid rejuvenation. He will perform a thorough examination to determine if an eyelid lift is the most suitable option to address your needs.
Preparation: On the day of your eyelid lift procedure, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility prepared for your surgery. Dr. Sof and his team will ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed before administering anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Surgical Technique: Dr. Sof will employ advanced surgical techniques to address common concerns such as sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and drooping eyelids.
Upper Eyelid Lift (Upper Blepharoplasty): For patients with sagging upper eyelid skin that may impair vision or create a tired appearance, Dr. Sof may recommend an upper eyelid lift. This procedure involves making discreet incisions within the natural creases of the upper eyelids to remove excess skin and fat, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed eye contour.
Closing Incisions and Recovery: Following the procedure, Dr. Sof will close the incisions with sutures and apply dressings as needed. You’ll be closely monitored in the recovery area before being discharged with detailed post-operative instructions. Dr. Sof will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure a smooth recovery process.
Results: As you heal from the eyelid lift procedure, you’ll begin to notice the rejuvenating effects on your eyes and overall facial appearance. Dr. Sof’s approach aims to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your features while maintaining harmony and balance.

THINGS TO AVOID AFTER UPPER EYELID LIFT SURGERY
The following five steps will support your recovery
- Strenuous Activities: Avoid engaging in strenuous physical activities, including heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and activities that strain the eyes, for the duration specified by Dr. Sof. Excessive movement or strain can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
- Rubbing or Touching the Eyes: Refrain from rubbing or touching the eyes, eyelids, or surrounding areas, as this can irritate the surgical site and lead to inflammation, infection, or damage to the delicate tissues. Follow Dr. Sof's instructions for gentle cleansing and care of the eyelids to promote proper healing.
- Exposure to Sunlight: Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, as excessive sun exposure can worsen swelling, bruising, and scarring. Wear sunglasses with UV protection and avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially during peak hours, until Dr. Sof advises it is safe to do so.
- Smoking and Alcohol Consumption: Avoid smoking and consuming alcohol during the recovery period, as these substances can impair circulation, delay healing, and increase the risk of complications such as infection or poor wound healing. Follow Dr. Sof's recommendations for a healthy lifestyle and abstain from smoking and alcohol consumption to support optimal recovery.
- Skipping Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Sof to monitor your healing progress, address any concerns or complications, and remove sutures if necessary. These appointments are essential for ensuring proper healing, optimising results, and receiving personalized guidance for post-operative care.

It is vital all of our patients closely follow these steps
- Follow Medication Instructions: Take any prescribed medications, such as pain relievers or antibiotics, as directed by Dr. Sof to manage discomfort, prevent infection, and promote healing. Follow the prescribed dosage and frequency carefully, and do not discontinue medications without consulting Dr. Sof.
- Apply Cold Compresses: Use cold compresses or ice packs as recommended by Dr. Sof to reduce swelling and bruising around the eyes. Apply the compresses gently to the eyelids for short intervals, taking care not to apply excessive pressure to the surgical area. Cold therapy can help minimise discomfort and promote faster healing.
- Keep the Head Elevated: Keep your head elevated while resting or sleeping to reduce swelling and improve blood circulation to the surgical area. Use extra pillows to elevate your head and upper body at a comfortable angle, or consider sleeping in a reclining chair for the first few nights following surgery.
- Practice Proper Eye Care: Follow Dr. Sof's instructions for gentle eye care, including cleaning the eyelids with saline solution or prescribed cleansers and avoiding harsh rubbing or scrubbing of the eyes. Use any prescribed eye drops or ointments to keep the eyes lubricated and moist, especially if experiencing dryness or irritation.
- Limit Screen Time and Eye Strain: Minimise screen time and avoid activities that require prolonged focus or strain on the eyes, such as reading, using electronic devices, or watching television. Taking regular breaks to rest the eyes and practicing gentle eye exercises recommended by Dr. Sof can help reduce eye strain and promote comfort during the healing process.
