Hooded eyelid surgery in Bucheli Concept

About the clinic

Hooded eyelid surgery, also known as upper blepharoplasty, is available at the Bucheli Concept clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This procedure removes excess skin and fat to refresh the eye area and improve vision. The clinic specializes in facial aesthetics and offers remote consultations for international patients to simplify their travel planning.

Expertise of Dr. Carlos Bucheli

Dr. Carlos Bucheli leads the clinic as a specialist in Head and Neck surgery and Otorhinolaryngology. He focuses on both the appearance and the function of the face. By combining his ENT background with facial plastic surgery, Dr. Bucheli helps patients achieve natural results. He founded the Bucheli Concept to provide a dedicated space for specialized facial treatments.

The Surgical Process

The surgery typically takes between 1 and 2 hours to complete. Dr. Bucheli performs the procedure using local anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. During the surgery, he makes an incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid. He then removes or moves excess muscle, skin, and fat. This placement helps the scars become virtually invisible once the skin heals.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients receive specific care instructions to help with healing. Post-operative care involves using cold compresses and keeping the head elevated. Doctors also provide sterile dressings, ointment, and eye drops. If permanent stitches are used, they are removed between 3 and 5 days after the surgery. Dissolvable stitches are also an option and will absorb on their own.

Guidelines for International Patients

Bucheli Concept provides a streamlined process for those traveling to Rio de Janeiro. Patients can start with a remote consultation from their home country. They can also complete their pre-operative lab work locally before they travel. A final in-person visit is scheduled one day before the surgery in Rio. Patients should plan to avoid strenuous activity for about 2 weeks after the procedure.

Bucheli Concept: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro

Bucheli Concept is a private aesthetic medicine clinic in Rio de Janeiro. Founded by Dr. Carlos Bucheli, the center represents over 20 years of experience in facial aesthetics. The facility operates with four specialized departments. These units focus on facial plastic surgery, dermatology, and functional physiotherapy.

Facial Aesthetics and Harmonization

The clinic specializes in Deep Plane Facelift techniques. This procedure repositions and fixes the muscle-aponeurotic system under general anesthesia. Surgeons also perform endoscopic brow and forehead lifts to address aging signs. These methods work with deep tissue layers, so results last longer.

Specialists offer several procedures to enhance eye and facial proportions:

Fox Eyes surgery – uses cantopexy and lateral eyebrow suspension for an almond-shaped look.
Blepharoplasty – removes excess skin and fat from upper and lower eyelids.
Mentoplasty – includes both chin implant and chin reduction techniques.
Lipofilling – uses the patient's own fat for volume restoration and facial grafting.

Non-surgical options include facial harmonization with hyaluronic acid fillers of various densities. Physicians choose fillers based on the treatment area and desired volume. The clinic also offers Lip Lift procedures to refine lip shape and balance.

Otorhinolaryngology and Functional Rhinoplasty

Medical care combines cosmetic goals with functional nasal health. Dr. Carlos Bucheli draws on his ENT surgery background to treat internal nasal deformities. The team corrects deviated septums and airway narrowing through septorrhinoplasty. This unblocks nasal passages while improving the nose's external appearance.

Post-operative healing for functional nasal surgery follows a predictable timeline. Patients typically reach 40% healing within six weeks. Full recovery hits 60% after six months of proper care. Otoplasty is also available to reshape ears through discreet incisions behind the ear.

Specialized Medical Team

Dr. Carlos Bucheli leads the clinic. He is a Head and Neck surgery specialist with two decades of experience. Dr. Camila Vasconcelos, a dermatologist, rounds out the team. Dr. Natália Baracca provides aesthetic functional physiotherapy to support patient recovery.

Services for International Patients

International patients can start their treatment journey via online consultations. This allows direct communication with the medical team from any location. If surgery is planned, patients complete lab work and exams in their home city. This cuts the time needed on-site before the procedure.

Patients typically arrive in Rio de Janeiro one day before surgery. This visit covers final consent forms and standardized medical photography. The clinic provides support in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Follow-up care includes structured guidance for successful long-term outcomes.

After searching for a long time, I made one of the most transformative decisions of my life: getting surgery with Dr. Bucheli. I’ve been his patient since 2020 and, in all those years, I haven’t had a single complaint—though I do have one: I wish I had known him before, so I could have been this beautiful much sooner! My life really changed after going through his blessed hands. A huge thanks, too, to the entire team, especially Mariana, who was always there during the post-operative period, answering all my questions with care and patience. In five years of being with Dr. Bucheli and his team, I only have praise. They always accompanied and welcomed me, truly understanding each and every one of my needs. And he’s right: beauty really brings happiness!

I highly recommend Dr Carlos’s work. He is a great professional—very competent and extremely dedicated. He takes care of even the smallest details, and with all his experience, he gives you a great sense of security. Dr Carlos’s results are real. Besides my own result, which was very good, I was also able to see some other patients’ results who had been operated on earlier by him while I was waiting in the clinic reception for my follow-up. Every time I saw someone in reception happy with their result, I felt so relieved and safe that I had made the right choice. I felt I was in good hands. He also has a fantastic, very competent team, including nurses and caregivers. They are all super welcoming, attentive, and they never forget the coffee lady who spoils us and takes care of us all the time. For me, it was truly a wonderful and positive experience. I recommend Dr Carlos and trust his work. Thank you, Dr Carlos, and your whole team. Marília L.A.
