WHAT IS UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY
Surgery that addresses not just the drooping skin but why it droops
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgery that corrects a drooping upper eyelid through an incision along the crease, tidying the drooping skin, fat and loosened muscle.
DIVA also draws up the levator muscle that opens the eye, to reduce re-drooping over time.
COMPARE
DIVA's upper blepharoplasty, compared
Skin excision
Only the drooping outer skin is cut away to form a line. The cause remains, so it can droop again over time.
Skin excision + levator muscle
The levator, the muscle that opens the eye, is pulled and connected as well, addressing the cause of the drooping.
- 01Outer eyelid drooping skin excised
- 02Inner eyelid weakened muscle strengthened
- 03Natural, elegant tailored eye design
Skin and the slackened muscle inside the eyelid are treated together, addressing the cause of the drooping, so opening the eye feels easier too.
PROCESS
The upper blepharoplasty procedure
Every step is performed by the director personally.
Analysis · design
The degree of drooping decides how much skin to remove and where the line goes.
Incision · tidying
An incision along the double eyelid line tidies drooping skin and fat.
Levator connection
The levator is connected to the skin to address the cause of re-drooping.
Closure · follow-up
After closure you go home the same day; sutures come out after 5–7 days.
RECOMMENDED
If this sounds familiar, upper blepharoplasty comes first
- A double eyelid line blurred by drooping
- A narrowed, closed-in field of vision
- Lashes poking the eyes
- Forehead lines deepened by straining to open the eyes
- A heavy, sleepy-looking impression

Lower Blepharoplasty

Improves under-eye fat and lines to correct a tired look

WHAT IS LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY
The lower eyelid is the first place to age
Lower blepharoplasty is a surgery that treats bulging fat, sagging skin and lines under the eyes together through an incision beneath the lashes. As the skin thins and loses firmness, the under-eye sags and hollows form.
Through an incision beneath the lashes, bulging fat is tidied and only as much sagging skin as needed is removed, treating lines, sagging and fat together.
DIAGNOSIS
The three causes of under-eye aging
Lines
Fine lines and hollows form in thinned skin
Sagging
Loosened skin and muscle look heavy
Fat
Bulging fat makes you look tired
If only the fat bulges, under-eye fat repositioning may be enough; if the skin and muscle have loosened, lower blepharoplasty is the right choice.
PROCESS
The lower blepharoplasty procedure
Every step is performed by the director personally.
Analysis · design
Skin laxity and fat shape decide how much to remove and how.
Incision · fat removal
Through an incision beneath the lashes, fat is removed or repositioned.
Muscle · fascia fixation
The loosened muscle is drawn upward and fixed to the fascia.
Closure · follow-up
Closed inside the lash line so the scar is hard to notice.
RECOMMENDED
If this sounds familiar, lower blepharoplasty comes first
- Shadowed-looking under-eye lines
- Bulging under-eye fat
- A heavy impression from sagging
- Tired-looking dark circles
- Loose under-eye skin
AFTERCARE
Recovery guide
- Day of surgerySame-day discharge
30 min – 1 hour under sedation, no hospital stay
- Days 5–7Suture removal
Under-eye line checked
- From day 5–7Daily activities
Light daily activities resume
- AfterwardsFollow-up
2–3 visits
Timelines vary with the degree of sagging and any surgery done alongside.
WITH LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY
When lower blepharoplasty alone isn't enough, lateral canthopexy
Sagging tissue and muscle at the outer eye are fixed to the outer periosteum, giving the lower eyelid stable support. Excising too much muscle can raise the risk of ectropion, so where sagging is severe it is planned alongside to reduce that risk.
RECOMMENDED
Lateral canthopexy is planned alongside in these cases
- Severe under-eye sagging
- To prevent ectropion
- Sagging that returned after lower blepharoplasty
- Ectropion after lower blepharoplasty
PROCESS
The lateral canthopexy procedure
An incision beneath the lashes tidies the fat, and the muscle or lateral canthal tendon is fixed to the periosteum.
01Analysis · design
Under-eye sagging and the canthus position decide the area to fix.
02Muscle · fascia preparation
The loosened muscle is drawn upward, ready to be fixed.
03Canthus · periosteal fixation
The muscle or lateral canthal tendon is fixed to the outer periosteum.
04Closure · follow-up
Closed inside the lash line, then the eyelid position is checked.
COMBINATION
Combinations that work well with lower blepharoplasty
What is done alongside depends on the under-eye. We look directly and propose only as much as needed.
Fat removal
Less bulge, and the loose skin with it
Under-eye fat is removed and loose skin tidied with it.
Lateral canthopexy
Severe sagging lifted and held
The muscle or canthal tendon is fixed to the periosteum to lift severe sagging.
Under-eye fat repositioning
The bulge and the hollow at once
Bulging fat is moved into the hollow, addressing sagging as well.

Fills volume with your own fat for a natural, youthful look

WHAT IS FAT GRAFTING
Filling hollow areas with your own body's fat
Fat grafting is a surgery that purifies your own fat from the thighs or abdomen and places it into hollow areas: forehead · around the eyes · front cheekbones · cheeks · nasolabial folds · chin.
Dedicated equipment keeps the fat from air contact from harvest to graft, managing survival rate and infection risk together.
EQUIPMENT
DIVA fat grafting: equipment and process
Harvest · purification
Liposuction and centrifugation run on a single device
Syringe capacity
50cc syringes cut harvest count and time
Air-contact control
A closed flow from harvest to injection
Donor sites
Only as much as needed from inner and outer thighs, buttocks or abdomen
PROCESS
The fat grafting procedure
Every step is performed by the director personally.
Fat harvest
Fat is suctioned from the thighs, buttocks or abdomen.
Pure fat extraction
A centrifuge separates impurities, leaving only pure fat.
Grafting
Fat is grafted into the hollow areas, adjusting layer and amount.
Follow-up
You go home the same day; sutures come out after about 7 days.
RECOMMENDED
If this sounds familiar, fat grafting comes first
- Volume from your own tissue, no implants
- Dimension that lasts
- A hollowed, older-looking impression
- An undefined face line
AFTERCARE

May vary with the graft area and your condition.
WITH FAT GRAFTING
For sunken eyelids, sunken-eye fat grafting
When aging loosens the membrane holding the fat around the eyes, the upper eye hollows, looks tired and unsettles the double eyelid line. Harvested micro-fat is grafted into the sunken eyelid through a fine cannula. Even a little too much can look puffy, so the amount follows the depth of the hollow, and a lid folding into several lines is supported with fat, without an incision. Approx. 1 hour · sedation · sutures out after about 7 days · daily activities after 5–7 days
RECOMMENDED
Recommended if
- Sunken eyes that look tired
- Creases in thin eyelid skin
- Sunken eyelids that fold into several lines
- Naturally sunken eyelids
- Too much fat removed in double eyelid surgery
SUNKEN EYELID BENEFITS
Two side benefits of sunken-eye fat grafting
The degree of improvement varies with the hollowing and the individual.
The harvest site tidied
Unwanted micro-fat at the harvest site is tidied along the way.
A defined double eyelid line
As the hollow fills, a defined line can be expected without double eyelid surgery.
OUR PRINCIPLE
Not to look younger, but to return to the face that was yours.
Rather than pulling everything taut, we look first at putting things back where they belong. We decide together what to take away and what to keep.
