Regenerative Blepharoplasty
Regenerative blepharoplasty is an advanced eyelid surgery that combines anatomical precision with innovation. At Image Regenerative Clinic in Milan, the procedure is performed by Professor Carlo Tremolada using an exclusive technique that merges upper or lower blepharoplasty with the Lipogems® system—a patented technology based on regenerative autologous fat. The surgery gently removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids, while the Lipogems infiltration enhances skin quality, restores natural volume, and reduces signs of fatigue—without altering facial expression. The method’s anti-inflammatory benefits minimize post-operative swelling, accelerate healing, and deliver visible results from the very start, for a refreshed and harmonious appearance.

"The best results in blepharoplasty procedures can only be achieved in certain "difficult" patients by surgeons who possess particular experience in orbital-eyelid reconstructive surgery."

About the Treatment
Our Expertise: Precision and Experience
Regenerative blepharoplasty, while being an established technique, requires extremely high precision and refined aesthetic sense to avoid errors that can compromise the final result. Problems like excessive removal of skin or fat, which can lead to sunken eyes or difficulty closing eyelids, or visible asymmetries, can only be avoided through the experience of a skilled surgeon. Trusting specialists with excellent competencies, like those at Image, means eliminating the risk of major errors and achieving a rejuvenated, natural look in total harmony with the face. Patient safety and satisfaction are our primary objective, supported by years of experience and cutting-edge techniques.
What is blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery and a fundamental part of 'eye surgery', is a procedure that addresses age-related changes around the eyes. With advancing age (chronoaging), weakening of periocular muscles, herniation of periorbital fat, skin elastosis, and reduction of bone volumes contribute to making the eyes look tired and heavy.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both (complete blepharoplasty):

To optimize blepharoplasty results, complementary treatments can be considered:
The Procedure and Recovery
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation and lasts between 30 minutes and an hour. Recovery is generally smooth: swelling and bruising resolve in a few days, and patients can resume social activities after about two weeks.
Ideal Candidates
Blepharoplasty is particularly suitable for people 30 years and older who wish to correct:

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I wear makeup after blepharoplasty?
You can wear makeup only after swelling has subsided and sutures have been removed. Follow your surgeon's instructions strictly.
Will blepharoplasty scars be visible?
No, incisions are strategically placed along natural eyelid folds, making scars practically invisible. Complete scar healing takes about 6 months, during which they become increasingly less noticeable.
What is the role of Lipogems in regenerative blepharoplasty?
Lipogems, based on the patient's autologous fat, restores lost volume, improves skin quality, and activates deep tissue regeneration, ensuring natural results and optimal recovery. Today, performing cosmetic surgery without considering regeneration is unthinkable, as this approach significantly improves both aesthetics and treated tissue wellness.
How long do blepharoplasty results last?
Blepharoplasty results are generally long-lasting: the removal of excess skin is permanent, while the natural aging process continues over time. The integration of Lipogems® helps slow this process by improving tissue quality and prolonging the rejuvenating effect. On average, results are maintained for many years.
What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty addresses the upper eyelids to correct eyelid ptosis and remove excess skin that weighs down the eyes. Lower blepharoplasty treats under-eye bags by removing or redistributing excess fat and tightening loose skin. The two procedures can be performed individually or in combination (complete blepharoplasty), depending on each patient's needs. At Image Regenerative Clinic, both upper and lower blepharoplasty are performed using an integrated regenerative technique with Lipogems®, for more natural results and a faster recovery. The most suitable approach is determined during the pre-operative consultation.
Does eyelid skin regenerate after blepharoplasty?
Yes — and this is precisely what sets regenerative blepharoplasty at Image apart. The integration of Lipogems®, which uses the patient's own mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue, actively stimulates eyelid skin regeneration by promoting collagen production, improving skin quality, and accelerating tissue healing. Rather than simply removing excess skin, regenerative blepharoplasty works at a biological level to restore the skin's natural vitality. The result is not just a more rested appearance, but genuinely healthier, more resilient eyelid tissue over time.
Are there any contraindications to blepharoplasty?
As with any surgical procedure, certain conditions require careful evaluation, including glaucoma, severe dry eye syndrome, clotting disorders, and some systemic conditions. Our team will assess each patient's individual profile during the pre-operative consultation to define the safest and most effective approach.
How much does blepharoplasty in Milan cost?
The cost varies depending on the type of procedure (upper, lower, or complete) and whether Lipogems® integration is included. To receive a personalized quote, book a free consultation with our team.
What can I expect during the pre-operative consultation?
During the consultation, our team carries out a thorough assessment of the periocular area, discusses the patient's expectations, and identifies the most suitable technique — upper, lower, or complete blepharoplasty, with or without Lipogems® integration. It is the essential first step toward planning a safe, personalized procedure in harmony with the patient's facial features.
