Blepharoplasty is one of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures in the world. In a few hours, it rejuvenates the look by 10 years, eliminates permanent signs of fatigue and corrects functional issues caused by drooping eyelids — without leaving a visible scar.
At EstheticaPlus in Tangier, eyelid surgery is performed by a European-trained aesthetic surgeon in an approved clinic. The procedure addresses the upper eyelids (excess skin, heavy look), lower eyelids (under-eye bags, dark circles) or all four eyelids simultaneously. It can be complemented by hyaluronic acid injections for hollow dark circles during the same stay.
Who can benefit from blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery is suitable for patients from 35–40 years old showing eyelid laxity, but also for younger people with a genetic predisposition. Candidacy is assessed during the clinical consultation.
Drooping upper eyelids
Excess skin on the upper eyelids gives a tired, sad or severe appearance. In advanced cases, the skin may partially obstruct the visual field, justifying medical management.
Under-eye bags
Fat hernias under the lower eyelids create persistent shadows and a tired look, regardless of sleep hours.
Dark circles & skin folds
Excess thin skin under the lower eyelids can form wrinkles and dark circles. Lower blepharoplasty removes or corrects them depending on the technique chosen.
Genetic predisposition
Some young people have hereditary bags or eyelid excess. Surgery is indicated as soon as the aesthetic or functional concern is confirmed, regardless of age.
Medical case: when drooping eyelids demonstrably obstruct the visual field, upper blepharoplasty may qualify for partial coverage by social security organizations (subject to conditions). Our surgeon assesses the indication during the clinical consultation.
Upper vs lower blepharoplasty
Both techniques address different issues and can be performed during the same procedure. The treatment plan is determined during the clinical and photographic consultation.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Drooping eyelids · Eyelid foldRemoval of excess skin and/or fat (fatty prolapse) from the upper eyelid fold. The incision is made in the natural eye fold — the scar becomes invisible after healing.
- Local anesthesia — no hospitalization
- Duration: 45 to 60 minutes
- Scar hidden in natural fold — invisible
- Social downtime 5 to 7 days
- Result visible immediately, final at 3 months
Lower Blepharoplasty
Under-eye bags · Transconjunctival approachTwo options: transconjunctival (no skin scar, via internal mucosa) for pure fat hernias, or transcutaneous (incision along the lash line) if associated skin excess.
- Local or general anesthesia depending on approach
- Duration: 60 to 90 minutes
- Transconjunctival approach: no visible scar
- Social downtime 7 to 10 days
- Often combined with upper blepharoplasty
Simultaneous 4-eyelid treatment
Full blepharoplasty (upper + lower) treats the entire eye area in a single procedure. It is the most complete solution for global rejuvenation.

Is blepharoplasty painful?
No. Upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia, with no pain during the procedure. Recovery is very mild: swelling and bruising for the first 5 to 7 days, controlled with cold compresses and simple painkillers. Most patients describe very moderate discomfort.
What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty corrects drooping eyelids by removing excess skin from the upper eyelid fold. Lower blepharoplasty treats under-eye bags via a transconjunctival approach (no visible scar on the skin) or transcutaneous approach. Both can be performed during the same procedure.
Is the scar visible after blepharoplasty?
No. For upper blepharoplasty, the scar hides in the natural eyelid fold and becomes invisible at 6 months. For lower blepharoplasty via the transconjunctival approach (the most used), there is no scar on the skin.
Can blepharoplasty be combined with other treatments in Tangier?
Yes. Blepharoplasty can be combined with a rhinoplasty, hyaluronic acid injections for hollow dark circles, or other aesthetic treatments during the same stay in Tangier. EstheticaPlus coordinates the entire care pathway.
