What is Blepharoplasty with the Milan Technique?
The Milan technique — also known as Milan Refine or Milanese technique — is an advanced form of upper eyelid correction. While a regular upper eyelid correction focuses on removing excess skin above the eyelid, the Milan technique blepharoplasty goes a step further.
With this technique, a larger, elliptical part of the upper eyelid is corrected. The special feature lies in the subtle 'wing' on the outer side of the eyelid: by including this in the correction, extra excess skin is removed, creating a refined lifting effect on the outside of the eye. The result is a more open, fresh look — without changing your facial expression.
Who is Upper Eyelid Correction with the Milan Technique Suitable for?
The Milan technique is not necessary for everyone, but for a specific group of people, it offers significantly more advantages than a standard procedure. The technique is particularly suitable for:
- People with "hooded eyes" — heavy eyelids where the skin covers the corner of the eye and gives a tired appearance.
- People who want a subtle lifting effect — for a more open and fresh look without drastically changing their appearance.
- People looking for natural rejuvenation — where facial expression is fully preserved.
- People for whom a regular upper eyelid correction provides insufficient correction to the side of the eye — the Milan technique offers precisely the extra correction needed there.

What Can You Expect Before and After an Upper Eyelid Correction with the Milanese Technique?
Many people are curious about the results of the Milan technique blepharoplasty before and after the procedure. The results are generally impressive, precisely because the technique works so precisely and focused.
Before the procedure, people often experience:
- A heavy or tired feeling due to the eyelids
- Reduced field of vision due to sagging skin
- Feeling older or more tired than they are
After the procedure, patients typically see:
- A visible, more open and fresh look
- A subtle lifting effect on the outside of the eye
- A rejuvenating result that looks completely natural
- Preservation of one's own facial expression
The scars from the procedure are barely visible after healing, as they are hidden in the natural skin fold of the eyelid. Recovery time varies per person, but most people can resume their daily activities after one to two weeks.
