Eyelid surgery: Plastic surgery Royal✓

Eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, or muscle tissue. This procedure can be performed on the upper, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Blepharoplasty is becoming increasingly popular and sought after in aesthetic surgery because it helps restore a youthful appearance and reduce signs of aging on the face.

When is eyelid surgery necessary?

The eyelids are a very delicate area of the face, and over time, they may show signs of aging, such as:

• Sagging upper eyelids: Excess skin folds can create a "drooping" effect, making you look tired and older than you are.

• Swollen, puffy lower eyelids: Excess fat in this area can create the appearance of bags under the eyes, which may be genetic or a result of aging.

• Excess skin or wrinkles: Extra skin around the eyes can limit your field of vision, which may lead to functional issues, as well as aesthetic dissatisfaction.

Blepharoplasty can address both aesthetic and functional concerns, improving the appearance of the face and restoring a youthful, refreshed look.

Who is a good candidate for eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery is typically recommended for individuals who:

• Have sagging upper eyelids or puffy lower eyelids.

• Appear tired or older due to excess skin or fat tissue around the eyes.

• Have realistic expectations and understand the potential results of the surgery.

• Are in good physical health and do not have serious eye or skin conditions.

• Are non-smokers, as smoking can slow the healing process and increase the risk of complications.

Benefits of eyelid surgery

• Improved aesthetic appearance: Eyelid surgery gives the face a fresh, rejuvenated look.

• Increased self-confidence: Many individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their eyes experience a significant boost in self-confidence after the procedure.

• Better field of vision: In cases where excess skin on the upper eyelids obstructs vision, blepharoplasty can improve the field of vision and eye functionality.

• Long-lasting results: The results of this surgery can last from 5 to 10 years, and often longer, depending on the condition of the skin and the patient’s lifestyle habits.

What is the blepharoplasty procedure like?

Preparation before surgery: First, you will have a consultation with a specialist, where you will discuss your goals, concerns, and medical history. The surgeon will conduct a detailed examination of your eyelids, analyze the skin structure, and assess the possibility of achieving your desired results.

The procedure: Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, although it can be done under general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. The surgery lasts from 1 to 2 hours, and for the upper eyelids, the surgeon makes an incision along the natural fold of the eyelid, while for the lower eyelids, the incision may be made below the eyelashes or inside the eyelid, minimizing the visibility of scars.

Recovery after surgery: Recovery is usually quick, but it may be accompanied by mild swelling, bruising, and dry eyes during the first few days. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a week. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity and not rub their eyes during recovery. It is also recommended to wear eye protection and use eye drops as instructed by the doctor.

Post-operative care:

• Using cold compresses can help reduce swelling and bruising.

• Post-operative check-ups are essential to monitor recovery progress.

• Patients typically need about 7 to 10 days to return to normal activities.

Risks and complications

As with any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries certain risks, although complications are rare. Possible risks include:

• Bleeding

• Infection

• Scarring (although incisions are made in natural skin folds, scars can still be visible)

• Dry eyes or reduced tear production

• Asymmetry or irregularities in the shape of the eyelids

It is important to follow all post-operative instructions provided by your doctor to minimize the risk of complications.
