Blepharoplasty

Configuring Contours with Competence and Expertise

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a type of surgery that is done to repair droopy eyelids. It involves removing excess fat, muscle, or skin from under eyelids. As the age of the person increases, their eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them become weak. Along with making you look older, the sagging of skin around your eyes can blur your side visions. Eyelid surgery can reduce or eliminate these problems and help you look younger.

Blepharoplasty plays a significant role in facial rejuvenation. Excess fat or skin gets accumulated above and below your eyelids. It may result in saggy eyebrows, droopy upper eyelids, and bags under your lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty is advised to treat this excess fat or skin at the upper eyelid and lower eyelid.

What are the Advantages of an Eyelid Surgery?

Our doctor may advise you for blepharoplasty when you have droopy or sagging eyelids that stop your eyes from opening completely. Removing the excess amount of fats from the eyelids may provide relief. It could also help in improving your vision. However, the surgery is often done for cosmetic reasons. But it would not allow you to get rid of dark circles under eyes, facial wrinkles, or crow’s feet. You may go for blepharoplasty if you are having-

• Bags under your eyes.
• Either droopy or baggy upper eyelids
• If the excess skin of the upper eyelid is interfering in your peripheral vision
• Presence of excess skin on lower eyelids

Who is an Eligible Candidate?

Eyelid surgery is primarily an option for people looking for anti-ageing treatments. Skin sagging around the eyes is a normal phenomenon that occurs as the age of a person increases. However, you can go for eyelid surgery if you start finding these effects before age.

• You can also opt for eyelid surgery if you have significant bags under your eyes.
• The best candidate for eyelid surgery is healthy people who wish to have eyelid surgery.
• In most cases, eyelid surgery candidates are above 35 years old. But if the case of the saggy eye is running in your family, you might opt-out of the surgery sooner.
• You may be a candidate for blepharoplasty if you do not smoke or drink or have any chronic medical disease that may increase the risk or complications from blepharoplasty.

In the presence of the above medical conditions, your doctor might advise you to avoid the surgery, or they might postpone it until the medical condition is managed.

The Results

Eyelid surgery is generally an outpatient procedure. After treatment, many of the patients have expressed their satisfaction with the results of eyelid surgery. If your surgeon has placed an nonabsorbable suture, then they may remove them after five to seven days of surgery. Some people may find swelling and bruising under your eye. However, it may decrease to a significant extent after 10-14 days of surgery. You may feel more comfortable after discomfort disappears. Patients have experienced a more restful and youthful appearance and more self-confidence after the surgery. Scars after a surgical procedure may take some months to go away. You may experience blurred vision and sensitivity to light for a few days as short-term complications. However, these may go away with time.
