About the procedure
Correction of dark circles is a surgical procedure that eliminates unwanted and often genetically conditioned fat pads under the eyes. The removal technique that we primarily use at our Polyclinic is called TRANSCONJUNCTIVAL BLEPHAROPLASTY, and it involves the use of a laser or a radio wave knife that is used to access the area where the fat pads are located through the conjunctiva of the lower eyelid. They can be completely removed that way, without a visible scar, no sutures, or any sign of surgery. In addition, this approach eliminates the possibility of the complication of ectropion, i.e. twisting of the lower eyelid outwards, which is unfortunately a frequent complication with the standard external incision approach.

Procedure after the surgery
Using this technique and the transconjunctival approach, recovery is very fast and most patients are ready to return to their daily activities in 7 days. A few hours after the procedure, you can return home or to your accommodation with your escort, and it is very important to use cold compresses during the first 24-48 hours after the operation. Likewise, physical efforts should be avoided during the first 7 days.
All our patients receive our emergency phone, where they can call our staff at any time in case of any need.
Procedure before the surgery
Before the surgery, in a conversation with the surgeon, the entire procedure will be explained in detail, as well as defining how many fat pads need to be removed in order to obtain the most beautiful and natural effect. Given that the procedure is mostly performed under general anesthesia, it is necessary to perform all laboratory tests, EKG and other findings for performing the procedure under general anesthesia.
Anesthesia
For the correction of dark circles, which is performed with a TRANSCONJUNCTIVAL approach, it is necessary for the patient to be completely still, and it is generally recommended that the procedure be performed under general anesthesia. The whole process is completely painless, and there is not a single visible postoperative scar.
Surgery
A careful cut using a laser or a radio wave knife through the conjunctiva of the eye gives access to the area of fat pads in the infraorbital zone. They are then separated from the surrounding tissue and removed. In doing so, all microvascular structures are "welded" using a laser or a radio wave knife, so there is no need for suturing.
