Introduction

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery performed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure is especially suitable for people who suffer from drooping or puffy eyes or who have wrinkles around the eyes. Blepharoplasty can effectively give the eyes a younger, fresher appearance and help correct functional problems caused by drooping eyelids.

How blepharoplasty works

In blepharoplasty, the surgeon carefully removes excess skin or fat from the eyelids. The procedure can involve the upper, lower, or both eyelids and aims to create a more youthful, natural appearance. Depending on the patient’s needs, surgery may be performed on the upper eyelid (which usually involves removing excess skin) or the lower eyelid (which may involve removing excess fat or correcting loose skin).

Types of blepharoplasty

  1. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty: This type of surgery is usually performed to remove excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid. This can help correct drooping eyelids and create a better vision and a more youthful appearance.

  2. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty: This procedure is performed to remove excess fat from under the eyes and smooth out loose skin. This procedure can help eliminate puffiness and wrinkles around the eyes.

  3. Combined blepharoplasty: In some cases, the surgeon may perform a combination of upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty to achieve the best results.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

  1. Correcting drooping eyelids: One of the main benefits of blepharoplasty is correcting drooping eyelids and improving vision, which is especially beneficial for people who experience vision problems due to this problem.

  2. Improving the appearance of the eyes: Blepharoplasty can give the eyes a younger, fresher appearance and reduce wrinkles and puffiness under the eyes.

  3. Natural and long-lasting results: The results of blepharoplasty are usually natural and long-lasting. The surgery can last for several years, and the patient is often completely satisfied with the results.

  4. Suitable for people suffering from under-eye puffiness: Blepharoplasty is very effective for people who suffer from under-eye puffiness due to excess fat or loose skin.

  5. Increased self-confidence: Correcting eye appearance problems can increase self-confidence and improve a person’s quality of life.

Blepharoplasty surgical process

  1. Initial consultation: During the first consultation, the surgeon will examine the condition of your eyelids and your needs and recommend the best treatment method.

  2. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia: Depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient’s preference, this procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia.

  3. Removal of excess skin and fat: The surgeon carefully removes excess skin or fat from the eyelids, preserving the natural contours of the eyelid.

  4. Closing the incisions: After the changes are made, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions and may use absorbable stitches.

  5. Recovery period: The recovery period for blepharoplasty is usually short, and most patients can return to their daily activities after a few days. Bruising and swelling usually subside within one to two weeks.

Results and durability of blepharoplasty

The results of blepharoplasty are typically visible immediately, although it may take several weeks for full recovery and the final results to be seen. The procedure can provide long-term results, giving the eyelids and eyes a more youthful appearance. However, the aging process continues, but the changes resulting from blepharoplasty can last for several years.
