Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that is not just medical treatment. It is also performed to improve the appearance of the eyes. For most people, this is considered plastic surgery for facial beauty.

This operation dramatically affects the beauty and freshness of the face and increases the attractiveness of the eyes more than before. Still, in some cases, blepharoplasty is considered a therapeutic surgery.

When the drooping of the upper eyelid has reduced the field of vision, blepharoplasty surgery can treat tired and drooping eyes and eyelids within 1 to 3 hours. This procedure completely corrects drooping upper eyelids and puffiness under the eyes.

What Is An Eyelid?

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is a surgery to improve the appearance of the eyes. This surgery can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery is used to beautify the areas around the eyes and treat functional problems of the eyelid.Ā 

Why is it done?

  • Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelid caused by aging. As a result, it eliminates wrinkles and prevents drooping of the eyelid.
  • The eyes are the most crucial element of facial beauty, and blepharoplasty is one of the best ways to rejuvenate the areas around the eyes.
  • This operation does not require hospitalization and can be performed using local anesthesia.
  • Post-operative complications usually resolve within a few days, and the total recovery takes only a few weeks.
  • In general, eyelid surgery is safe and less complicated if performed by a skilled doctor and in a reputable center.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Blepharoplasty?

Candidates for eyelid surgery are in good general health and have excess skin sagging, puffiness in the eyelid area, and fatty tissue around the eyes. Most patients are interested in blepharoplasty surgery for cosmetic reasons, but some conditions cause drooping of the upper eyelid and affect vision. Aging may lead to improper positioning of the lower eyelid, resulting in dry eyes. Patients should have realistic expectations of the results of the operation and be aware of the limitations of the surgery.

The best candidates for eyelid surgeryĀ are:

  • People over 35 who suffer from sagging eyelid skin or puffiness under the eyes.
  • People who do not have specific underlying diseases and have sufficient preparation for this surgery.
  • People who have not achieved their desired result from simple skin rejuvenation techniques.

In addition to the mentioned items, a person at a young age may be a suitable candidate for eyelid cosmetic surgery based on existing complications and the diagnosis and prescription of a plastic surgeon.

What Do I Need To Know Before Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery?

One of the most critical steps before eyelid cosmetic surgery is consultation with a surgeon. During the consultation session of the eyelid cosmetic surgery candidate with cosmetic and plastic surgeons, valuable information about eyelid surgery is often provided. It allows the person to ask all their questions and state their goals for the surgery.

  • Before eyelid lift surgery, the doctor performs some tests, such as optometry.
  • You should report your medications, such as prescriptions and supplements, to your doctor.
  • Some medicines increase the risk of bleeding, and you should not use them before surgery.
  • Stop smoking and drinking alcohol three weeks before the operation.
  • Sometimes, the doctor may recommend that you fast on the day of the operation.

Eyelid Procedure
Step by step guidance

Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Generally, general anesthesia is not necessary for blepharoplasty, although it depends on the patient’s comfort level and the type of surgical procedure.

If only blepharoplasty is performed, local anesthesia with sedation for lower eyelid surgery can be an excellent option. This is also true if combined with other procedures (or if preferred by the patient herself). Eyelid surgery takes about 1-2 hours on average.

  1. Lower blepharoplasty is performed through small incisions hidden under the eyelashes of the lower eyelid in the moist lining of the inner eyelid. The main goal of this procedure is to remove excess fat to smooth the under-eye area and achieve a younger and fresher appearance.
  2. Upper blepharoplasty usually involves conservative removal of the upper eyelid skin and fat and is performed through small incisions in the upper eyelid.

Then incisions will be closed with sutures by the surgeon.

Scarring is minimal for both procedures because the incisions are small and hidden in the fold of the natural eyelids and eyelashes. 

Significant complications in blepharoplasty surgery are rare, and this procedure is considered very safe. Experienced surgeons often remove excess skin and fat for a natural appearance and beautiful results.

Blepharoplasty Recovery

Observing some items can help speed up the healing process and reduce the recovery time.Ā 

Some of these essential and practical items are:

  1. A cold compress (48 hours after surgery) will reduce the swelling and inflammation of the surgical eyelids.
  2. Use of creams prescribed by a specialist doctor. Apply these creams at the surgical site. Rubbing the cream on the eyelids may cause blurred vision or a series of minor visual disturbances, which is normal and will disappear over time.
  3. Preventing pressure or impact on the eyelids
  4. When resting, place your head higher than the body. With this action, the blood flow to the head and neck is reduced, and as a result, there will not be much inflammation and swelling.
  5. Use artificial tears to prevent the eyes from drying out.Ā 
  6. Do not wear cosmetics after surgery. Do not use cosmetics around or at the surgery site because if you do, it will increase the possibility of surgical site infection.
  7. The use of antibiotics prescribed by a specialist doctor reduces the possibility of adverse side effects such as infection after surgery.
  8. Do not use medical or cosmetic lenses.
  9. Wear sunglasses to prevent sunlight from hitting the surgical site.
