Blepharoplasty is generally performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes strategic incisions in the upper and lower eyelids, removing excess skin, and, in the lower eyelids, addressing fat pockets.
In some cases, the fat is repositioned and the muscles are adjusted to improve firmness. The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and recovery involves following postoperative instructions.
Includes: Surgeon's fees, surgical equipment, operating room, and outpatient stay in the hospital. Additionally, post-surgical follow-up appointments necessary until discharge are also covered.
Not included: Pre-operative tests, and necessary medications.
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are those who have droopy eyelids, noticeable fat pockets, or excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure is suitable for those in overall good health, with realistic expectations and a motivation to improve their appearance. A consultation with a cosmetic surgeon is essential to assess the suitability of the procedure.
Upper blepharoplasty focuses on the upper eyelids, addressing sagging skin, wrinkles, and excess fat through incisions in the natural eyelid crease. On the other hand, lower blepharoplasty targets the lower eyelids, removing excess skin and correcting fat pockets through incisions just below the lashes or inside the lower lid. Both procedures aim to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes, and the choice between them or their combination depends on the goals and characteristics of the patient, determined during the consultation with the cosmetic surgeon.
Yes, blepharoplasty surgery can leave scars, but these are strategically placed in the natural skin lines of the eyelids. In the case of the upper eyelids, incisions are made in the natural folds, while for the lower eyelids, scars are discreetly positioned just below the lashes. This helps minimize the visibility of the scar marks and achieve more natural aesthetic results.
The recommended medications after blepharoplasty surgery include analgesics to control pain and antibiotics to prevent infections.
The risks and possible complications associated with blepharoplasty may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, irritation, dry eyes, as well as potential infections or issues in the healing process.
