Blepharoplasty in Mallorca
Upper, lower, and combined eyelid surgery. In lower blepharoplasty, we routinely incorporate L-PRF-enriched nanofat grafting to improve the cheekbone-eyelid transition and prevent the “hollow eye” effect. Performed by Dr. García Ceballos, who has 25 years of experience.
Rejuvenate the eyes while preserving facial expression
Blepharoplasty corrects excess skin and fat deposits on the upper and lower eyelids. Its goal is not to “change the look” but to restore a fresh, rested appearance that respects the patient’s natural expression.
At Mallorca Medical Group, we routinely incorporate a specialized technique in lower blepharoplasty: L-PRF-enriched nanofat grafting applied to the cheekbone-eyelid junction. This prevents the “hollow eye” effect or “skeletalization” of the infraorbital arch, a relatively common aesthetic complication in conventional lower blepharoplasty procedures.
Ideal candidates
Patients aged 40–45 and older with excess skin on the upper eyelid (which may limit the field of vision), lower eyelid fat pads, a pronounced tear trough, or structural dark circles under the eyes. Also, younger patients with hereditary lower eyelid fat pads.
Comparison of Modalities
| Type | Main Indication | Route of administration | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper Blepharoplasty | Excess upper eyelid skin | Eyelid crease (hidden) | 7–10 days |
| Lower Blepharoplasty | Bags under the eyes, dark circles, lower eyelid skin | Transconjunctival or subciliary | 10–14 days |
| Lower Blepharoplasty + Nanofat/L-PRF | Same as above + cheekbone transition | Transconjunctival + microcannulas | 10–14 days |
| Combined Blepharoplasty (Upper and Lower) | Comprehensive rejuvenation | Combined | 10–14 days |
A technique for each eyelid
Upper Blepharoplasty
Removal of excess skin from the upper eyelid. When there is a significant amount of excess skin, it can limit the field of vision (functional aspect). The scar is hidden in the eyelid crease and is imperceptible once healed.
Lower Blepharoplasty with Nanofat + L-PRF
Repositioning of fat pads and refinement of the lower eyelid skin, complemented by L-PRF-enriched nanofat grafting at the cheekbone-eyelid junction. It improves skin quality, softens the tear trough, and prevents the “hollow eye” effect typical of conventional lower blepharoplasties.
Combined Blepharoplasty
Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery performed in a single procedure. This optimizes recovery and provides overall rejuvenation of the periorbital area.
Blepharoplasty + canthopexy / cantoplasty
When there is laxity of the lower eyelid, tightening of the outer canthus is performed to prevent postoperative ectropion. This is particularly indicated in patients over 60 years of age or who have undergone previous surgery.
Nanofat is the patient’s own fat that has been processed into a very fine emulsion rich in regenerative factors. When combined with L-PRF (fibrin-rich plasma obtained by centrifugation), it improves the quality of the periorbital skin and naturally fills the infraorbital groove. This is what distinguishes modern lower blepharoplasty from a classic “draining” technique.
Week by Week After Blepharoplasty
- D1-3
Rest with local cold therapy
Relative rest, head elevated, and intermittent application of cold to the affected area. Moderate periorbital bruising, sensation of eyelid tightness.
- D5-7
Removal of sutures
Stitches removed from the upper eyelid; absorbable sutures in the lower eyelid. Bruising subsiding. Partial return to normal activities.
- S2-3
Resolved bruises
Any residual bruising can be covered with makeup. Full return to social activities. Continue using artificial tears.
- S4-6
Mature Scars
The scars along the eyelid crease become imperceptible. The results are clearly visible.
- M3-6
Final result
Stable and permanent results. The scars will remain virtually invisible over the long term.

Member nº 070707779 - Official College of Doctors of the Balearic Islands
With 25 years dedicated to plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. García Ceballos is a reference in Mallorca. His training at the Royal College of Surgeons of England (MRCS I England) and in Belgium (FCCP Belgium) places him among the most internationally renowned surgeons in the Balearic Islands.
What sets his blepharoplasty approach apart is the routine use of L-PRF-enriched nanofat grafting on the lower eyelid, an advanced technique that prevents the “hollow eye” effect and the skeletal appearance of the infraorbital arch—aesthetic complications that are relatively common in conventional lower blepharoplasty procedures.
It operates at Hospital Quirónsalud Palmaplanas and Hospital Quirónsalud Son Verí, the private hospital references in Palma de Mallorca.
