Orbicularis Oculi Surgery

Address under-eye puffiness and bags with specialized eye muscle surgery.

OUR PROCEDURE

Orbicularis Oculi Surgery is a procedure to address the specific muscular and fatty issues that cause puffiness, bags, and wrinkles under the eyes. The orbicularis oculi is the circular muscle that surrounds the eye. With age, this muscle and the underlying fat pads can weaken and sag, leading to a tired or aged appearance. The surgery is a precise technique to reduce or reposition a portion of this muscle and the fat below it.

At Mexico Cosmetic Center in Tijuana, Mexico, we specialize in orbicularis oculi surgery, a precise eyelid rejuvenation procedure that restores a youthful, refreshed look. The orbicularis oculi muscle plays a crucial role in eyelid movement and facial expressions. Over time, this muscle can weaken, leading to sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, and an aged appearance.

The Orbicularis Oculi Surgery is designed to:

Reduce under-eye puffiness and bags.
Smooth wrinkles and fine lines beneath the eyes.
Tighten and reposition the orbicularis oculi muscle.
Create a more rested and alert appearance.
Improve the contour of the lower eyelid.
Enhance the overall youthful look of the face.

Orbicularis Oculi Surgery Options at Mexico Cosmetic Center

Aging, genetics, and environmental factors can cause loose or sagging skin around the eyes. Unlike non-surgical treatments, surgical correction directly addresses the underlying muscle, fat, and skin for long-lasting results. Benefits of orbicularis oculi surgery include:

Elimination of under-eye bags and puffiness
Tighter, more youthful-looking eyelids

Improved vision in cases of severe drooping
Long-term results with minimal scarring

Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)

This procedure removes excess fat and skin under the eyes while tightening the orbicularis oculi muscle. Ideal for those with under-eye bags, puffiness, or loose skin, lower blepharoplasty restores a smooth, rejuvenated look.

Upper Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)

If drooping upper eyelids are making you look tired or affecting your vision, upper blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and fat while tightening the muscle for a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Canthoplasty (Eyelid Support Surgery))

For patients experiencing severe eyelid laxity, canthoplasty reinforces the outer corner of the eye, preventing sagging and improving overall eye shape.

How the Surgery Is Performed

Small, hidden incisions
Precise removal or repositioning
Muscle tightening

Orbicularis oculi surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes approximately 1–2 hours.

Surgical Details

The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation. The surgeon makes a small, discreet incision, typically just below the lash line. Through this incision, they can either remove excess muscle and fat or reposition the tissue to create a smoother contour. The procedure is precise and requires a skilled surgeon to achieve the desired result.

Procedure Details

Length of surgery: 1-2 hours
Length of stay: Outpatient (home same day).
Anesthesia: Local with sedation or general anesthesia.

Recovery Information

Bandages: Small bandages may be applied, and cold compresses are recommended to reduce swelling.
Back to work: 5-7 days.
Stitches: Will be absorbable.

Procedure Risks

Risks include temporary swelling and bruising, which can last for several weeks. Other potential risks are minor changes in eye shape, asymmetry, or a feeling of temporary tightness. These complications are rare when the surgery is performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon.

Question	Answer
How is Orbicularis Oculi Surgery different from a typical blepharoplasty?	While it is a component of a lower blepharoplasty, Orbicularis Oculi Surgery specifically targets the muscle and fat pads, whereas a blepharoplasty may also address excess skin and other tissues to a greater extent.
How long is the recovery?	Initial recovery, with most swelling and bruising, lasts about 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to work within a week, but the final results will be seen gradually over several months.
Will this surgery affect my vision?	No, the surgery does not involve the eyeball itself and will not affect your vision. Any temporary blurriness is due to swelling or ointment use during recovery.
Can this be combined with a facelift?	Yes, it is often performed in conjunction with a facelift or a canthoplasty for a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the mid-face and eye area.
