Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Plastic Surgery
|
Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Plastic Surgery: The aging eye often results in a tired, angry, or sad appearance. Eyelid surgery
is commonly done for aging eyes, but in some people the traits are inherited requiring
surgery at a younger age. In any case, this procedure will result in a more rested,
alert, and energized appearance.

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that can
be done on upper eyelids for excessive, wrinkled, drooping skin, or on lower eyelids
for excessive skin or fat resulting in puffy bags. Eyelid surgery can be done
alone, or can be performed in conjunction with a face-lift, or other facial procedures.
The upper eyelid incisions are camouflaged in the natural eyelid fold. The lower
eyelid incisions are designed just below the lash line. Through this incision
excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed. In some cases, the underlying muscle
will be tightened. The incisions eventually fade and blend into the natural creases
of the eye.
Upper Eyelids:
Lower Eyelids:
Following surgery, you may temporarily experience blurred vision, tightness
around the eyes, discomfort, bruising, and swelling (these symptoms vary among
individuals). Within the first week, stitches will be removed. After two weeks,
non-strenuous exercise may be resumed, and you may wear contact lenses if needed.
For several months the skin around your eyes should be treated with extra care.
You should apply sun block on your eyelids and use sunglasses to protect your
eyes from the environment. As with all cosmetic procedures, the final result will
be apparent by about one year. The results of eyelid surgery are long lasting;
however, keep in mind that your eyes will continue to age through the years.
