Cosmetic surgery to the eyes can correct a variety of deformities or defects in the eyelids. The eyelid region can also be aesthetically enhanced by this surgery. Blepharoplasty may be a good option if you are unhappy with your eyelids. This involves reconstructing your eyelids to look more youthful and natural.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty refers to a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin or fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure can reduce puffiness and droopy eyelids. It can also reduce wrinkles. The surgery can be performed on the upper and/or lower lids.
Patients are generally healthy adults with excess fat and skin on the upper eyes. Some patients may have sagging eyebrows, due to poor skin elasticity and smoking. In such cases, it may be necessary for a second blepharoplasty to correct the problem. Good skin care habits and avoidance of the sun can increase skin elasticity.
After surgery, patients should stay home for at least a week. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, or mild aching for several weeks. The majority of patients can recover completely and return to their normal activities within one week.
Upper lid lift
The upper lid lift cosmetic surgery can change the look of your eyelids. It can correct disfigurements and defects on your eyelids, and also aesthetically improve the eye region of your face. This procedure can make you look younger and more confident. For patients who do not like the way they look due to their aging process, a blepharoplasty procedure may be a suitable option.
Upper lid lift cosmetic surgery involves removing excess skin from the eyelids. It is done outpatient and can be done at the doctor's office. The surgeon will make small incisions around your eyes and remove any excess skin or fat. The surgeon may also alter the muscles surrounding the eye.
The surgery is done under local anesthesia. There may be some swelling and soreness. You can ease this discomfort by using cold compresses and elevating your head when you sleep. Patients can resume light activity after a week. However, they should avoid strenuous activity in the first two weeks.
Revisions of the eyelids
One of today's most popular procedures for plastic surgery is the revision of eyelids. It can dramatically improve your facial appearance. There are risks and complications associated with this procedure. Eyelids are delicate. Even an acceptable result can lead to major disappointment.
Bad reaction to anesthesia, scarring and bruising are all possible risks. Other potential complications include abnormal coloring of or folding the eyelid skin or loss of sight. When considering revision surgery to the eyelids, it is important to take into account safety and long term health.
Double vision can sometimes occur following eyelid surgery in very rare cases. This is most likely due to the use of local anesthetic during surgery. It usually resolves within a few days. However, if the problem persists after the first day, it is important to have your vision checked carefully. This could be an indication of injury to the eye muscle. A scarring condition that does not heal from eyelid surgery may also occur.
