Why choose blepharoplasty surgery?
The decision to opt for blepharoplasty may stem from various personal or medical reasons. It’s a viable solution for individuals troubled by baggy or droopy upper eyelids, excess skin on the upper eyelids that obstructs peripheral vision, or those who have excess skin on the lower eyelids and bags under the eyes. The surgery can also aid in alleviating the appearance of tired eyes, removing drooping skin from the upper lids and reducing bagginess from the lower lids. It doesn’t just stop at cosmetic enhancement; blepharoplasty can significantly improve the field of vision for individuals whose sagging upper eyelids obstruct their visual field.
How does blepharoplasty surgery work?
The procedure of blepharoplasty is conducted with precision and care to yield the desired results. During an upper blepharoplasty, surgeons create incisions along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, through which excess skin and bulging fatty tissues are removed. Any loose skin is eliminated before sealing the incisions. In the case of a lower blepharoplasty, the incision is made just below the lower eyelash line, and excess skin in the lower eyelid is removed through this incision. A different approach may be taken by making an incision inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival incision) to address lower eyelid issues and redistribute or remove excess fat.
What are the results like?
Post-operation, patients can expect a recovery period where common symptoms like swelling and bruising occur, typically subsiding within 10 to 14 days. There will be a stitch in each of the upper lids that remains for about a week post-surgery, while the lower lids don’t require stitches if the incisions are made on the inside. Patients are advised to limit their activities for several days post-surgery to facilitate the healing process. The results of blepharoplasty can be long-lasting, with some individuals enjoying a lifetime of youthful, refreshed appearance. However, for others, droopy eyelids may recur over time. The surgical scars from the incisions may take months to fade, but the enhanced, open appearance of the eyes and tightened skin around the eyes are rewarding outcomes for many.
