Laser blepharoplasty, performed by Dr. Edouard Coeugniet, offers a precise and minimally invasive approach to eyelid rejuvenation. This advanced technique uses laser energy to target and eliminate excess skin and fat, reducing under-eye bags, drooping eyelids, and fine wrinkles. The benefits include increased precision, minimized bleeding, and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
Dr. Coeugniet tailors each procedure to achieve natural and harmonious results, improving the appearance of the eyes and refreshing the face as a whole.
“ Laser blepharoplasty uses advanced laser technology to perform the procedure without traditional cutting tools, reducing tissue damage and improving recovery time. ”
Laser blepharoplasty is a contemporary procedure on the eyelids that uses laser technology instead of incisions to improve the look around your eyes. The laser “cuts” just as a scalpel would, but the difference is that the laser cauterizes the blood vessels — which means much less bleeding, a faster procedure, and reduced risk of scarring. This technique helps reduce signs of aging and tiredness and is a modern alternative to traditional blepharoplasty.
Laser blepharoplasty is a non-invasive or minimally invasive alternative and is often preferred for its faster recovery and minimal scarring, while traditional blepharoplasty may be better suited for extensive eyelid corrections or those with significant skin or fat excess.
Ideal candidates for laser blepharoplasty, also known as laser eyelid surgery, are individuals with healthy facial tissue, no smoking habits, and realistic expectations regarding the procedure's outcomes. They typically have some degree of droopy or puffy eyelids, whether they are affecting their vision or just their appearance. The procedure is often sought for reversing the effects of aging on the eyelids, correcting excess skin in the upper eyelids, puffy fat deposits in the inner upper eyelids, lower eyelid bags, and surplus skin in the inferior eyelids.
In traditional eyelid surgery, the procedure requires an incision along the eyelid crease, enabling the removal or repositioning of excess skin, muscle, or fat. This surgical procedure leaves a visible scar, requiring extended recovery time than modern techniques. On the other hand, the laser blepharoplasty procedure technique disrupts fat without an external incision. In this cosmetic procedure, the laser serves two main functions: precision cutting and coagulation. This eliminates visible external scars and generally results in faster recovery.

Procedure | Incision -based | Laser-based |
Recovery Time | Longer | Shorter |
Visible Scarring | Minimal Scarring | No Scarring |
When considering any surgical procedure, it’s crucial to seek expert opinion. Consulting with a professional like Dr. Edouard Coeugniet, who bears profound knowledge and experience in the field, can guide you to a decision that best matches your unique needs. Trust his expertise to help you explore the best path forward for your eyelid rejuvenation.
A laser blepharoplasty allows a patient to achieve results that replicate those of a traditional eyelid lift, without going under the knife. The procedure can be performed for medical or cosmetic reasons, and it helps patients correct a variety of upper and lower eyelid issues, such as:
The decision between laser and traditional blepharoplasty depends on various factors, such as the patient’s goals, the complexity of the surgery, and the patient’s overall health. The goal of any blepharoplasty procedure is to help a patient bolster their facial appearance with little to no risk. In some instances, a laser blepharoplasty provides the best option to accomplish this goal. Or, in other cases, a patient benefits from a traditional blepharoplasty over a laser eyelid lift.
One of the key advantages of laser blepharoplasty is its relatively short recovery period. Some bruising and swelling can occur after a laser blepharoplasty, but these issues typically disappear on their own within a few days of treatment. Generally, no stitches are required during a laser blepharoplasty, and the procedure does not leave any visible scars.
Laser blepharoplasty patients can usually resume their normal activities within about one week of treatment. Most patients require time off from work or school to recover after a laser eyelid lift, with the initial recovery period lasting up to 10 days. While the recovery time is generally faster, patients should still follow post-operative care instructions closely to minimize complications and ensure optimal healing.
Prior to a laser blepharoplasty for the upper eyelid, a patient typically receives topical or local anesthesia, sometimes with mild sedation if needed. A surgeon then places a protective metal shield over the eye and uses a laser to make an incision in the eyelid. Excess fat and skin are carefully removed before sealing the wound.
Similarly, a laser blepharoplasty for eye bags is performed under local anesthesia, with the surgeon making a small incision on the inside of the lower eyelid to remove excess fat. The laser may also be used to resurface and tighten the lower eyelid skin, improving overall smoothness and firmness.
Unlike traditional blepharoplasty, which involves a scalpel and sutures, laser blepharoplasty may not require stitches, and recovery tends to be faster. The laser also helps minimize the risk of scarring and skin damage.
Like any surgical procedure, a laser blepharoplasty is not suitable for everyone. Laser blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure, and a patient must qualify for treatment. Candidates must undergo a thorough evaluation to ensure they are healthy enough for the surgery. Issues that may disqualify a patient from a laser eyelid lift include any previously diagnosed medical conditions or health issues that jeopardize the patient’s health and well-being.
One of the major advantages of laser no scar blepharoplasty is the minimal scarring, as the laser helps seal blood vessels during the treatment session. Any post-surgical marks are usually unnoticeable.
It’s thought that eyelid surgery takes about a decade off of your facial age. These changes made by Dr. Edouard Coeugniet are permanent. The skin removed is gone for good. The fat he has repositioned won’t migrate back to where it was. Levator muscles he tightened will remain firm.
Results can vary but typically last several years. The longevity of the results depends on various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and skincare. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skin care regimen can help extend these positive results.
Laser blepharoplasty recovery typically involves less downtime and bruising compared to traditional eyelid surgery, with most patients returning to normal activities within 2-4 days. While initial swelling and discoloration are common, they usually subside within a few weeks, with full results becoming apparent within 4-6 weeks.
Getting a procedure is a tremendous personal investment. However, it is not a decision that should be made lightly or in a hurry. Rushing might influence you to choose the wrong shape or go too big, which may impair you from running, jumping, or performing certain physical activities with ease. Go too small, and you may feel underwhelmed with your new look.
