Blepharoplasty : reshape of the upper or lower eyelid

What is Blepharoplasty ?

BLEPHARPLASTY is very common eyelid surgery which is very popular in the USA  .

 This procedure helps to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from around the upper and lower eyelids to correct the drooping and puffiness that can make you look older ,or cause loss of peripheral vision.

The procedure when made on the Lower eyelid is almost always made for cosmetics reasons. As opposed  to popular belief, Blepharoplasty will not remove wrinkles , lift your brows, or correct dark circles. Eyelid surgery also will not make you look like another heritage, so it can be used to correct Asian eyes but will not remove evidence that a person is Asian. Eyelid surgery is usually combined  with other surgeries, like face or brow  lifts.

Blepharoplasty  : Risks while making the surgery

Most common risks in Blepharoplasty are having blurred vision for few days,

and of course swelling. These are usually gone after few days ,if not ,i suggest

going to your doctor immediately .There are some more rare dangers which are the result of complications, which occurs during the eyelid surgery mainly with the anesthesia

or infections that could develop after surgery .Indeed these are rare ,yet when

deciding on having an eyelid surgery, one should consult a plastic surgeon

and understand all risks involved .

Blepharoplasty : consulting the doctor

Before having Blepharoplasty you should consult your doctor at least once , but I suggest twice or more. If the first meeting with your plastic surgeon raised some new questions about the surgery, or you forgot to ask some things (it happens to all of us)

This is no time to be shy, make a phone call and have another appointment.

This plastic surgery, though considered not to be too risky, could affect your all life .In most cases before having blepharoplasty your doctor will be able to show you

Digitally enhanced picture of your face after the eyelid surgery .That way both sides will know what you want, and what to expect after the surgery

Blepharoplasty : Eating and driving.

You will be given orders as to what you can eat or drink in the same day of the surgery .This surgery involves anesthesia and there are some limitations.

It is also best that you will have someone to drive you home after the surgery ,and help you in the few days after.

During Blepharoplasty

The first step of your surgery is to receive anesthesia, and you and your doctor can choose whether to have local or general. The surgery itself will most likely be done in the doctor’s surgical suite, but you can also have it done at a hospital if you’d like. It will take one to four hours, depending on your specific needs. The cosmetic surgeon will start by making tiny cuts around your eyes to separate the skin for the fat underneath. Excess substance will be removed and the incisions will then be carefully closed. Your eyelids may feel tight and sore afterwards, but in a few days, you should feel a lot better and the results are fantastic.
