Eyelid plastic surgery (blepharoplasty) is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. it can be carried out for both aesthetic and functional purposes. This type of surgery includes lifting the upper or lower eyelids, removing fat hernias, bags under the eyes, wrinkles and folds.
Plastic surgery on the eyelids improves appearance, improves vision, and in many cases also regulates intraocular pressure.
Who is blepharoplasty intended for?
The ideal candidates are those who have:
- Noticeable bags under the eyes
- Sagging skin on the upper or lower eyelids
- Excess sebum and skin
- Sagging of the outer corners of the eyes
What are the contraindications?
Even at first glance, ideal candidates may not be suitable for blepharoplasty if they have any eye diseases. For example, with glaucoma or dry eye syndrome, surgical interventions are generally undesirable, since they can only worsen the disease.
Surgery
If this is not combined with other rejuvenation operations, only local anesthesia is often performed and takes from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the volume.
The surgeon makes an incision of the skin on the upper or lower eyelid, and then smoothes or removes fatty tissue. then cosmetic stitches are applied, the scars from which later become invisible on the eyelids due to skin folds.
Postoperative process
The surgeon makes an incision of the skin on the upper or lower eyelid, and then smoothes or removes fatty tissue. then cosmetic stitches are applied, the scars from which later become invisible on the eyelids due to skin folds.
As after every plastic surgery, in this case there are pains, bruises and swelling: Bruises go away after about 10 days, and swelling-after a maximum of 2 months. but the result manifests itself within 2-4 weeks, depending on a number of circumstances, it persists for 10-15 years, depending on the skin, body and genetic characteristics. if the operation was performed by a professional, experienced surgeon, then it may not be necessary to repeat it a second time.
