Blepharoplasty, or also commonly known as the process of eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure that aims to give you a fresh look by removing the surplus skin, muscle, or tissue present in the upper or lower eyelids. The procedure is also sought after by many individuals suffering from the complications of drooping lids, bags, or skin in the lower or upper region of the eyes. The professional surgeon uses his experience and expertise in giving you the desired active look.
What is Blepharoplasty?
The meaning of Blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-roe-plas-tee) refers to the reconstruction of eyelids. This is a type of cosmetic surgery aimed at improving the aesthetic appeal of the eye area. With the aging process, the eyelids tend to stretch, and the muscles holding them in place start losing strength. With time, fat and loose skin tend to accumulate both above and below the eyelids, which results in baggy eyes and droopy eyelids, among other conditions. this surgery can correct all these issues and give the eyes a youthful appearance.
Blepharoplasty Surgery is done by removing excess skin or by adding/removing fat from the eyelid area. As a popular method to enhance the appearance of the eyelids, Saraswat Hospital in Agra has emerged as one of the premier centers for conducting blepharoplasty in India.
Why Blepharoplasty Surgery is Done?
Loose or sagging skin that creates disturbing folds in the upper eyelid, potentially impairing vision
Fatty deposits give a look of puffy eyelids
Under-eye bags
Drooping lower eyelids
Excessive wrinkles on the lower eyelid
Precautions Before Blepharoplasty Surgery
Before the blepharoplasty surgery, these are the following steps should be taken:
Discuss your medical history with the surgeon
Quit smoking because it will derail your healing process
You will undergo a physical examination
Maintain a healthy diet and eat a light meal before the procedure
Do take the medicines recommended by the doctor
Step 1: Anesthesia
The patient is administered either local or general anesthesia to ensure their comfort during the surgical process. The doctor shall choose the best option for you.
Step 2: Incision
The incision lines in blepharoplasty surgery are made so that the resulting scars are concealed by the natural structuring of the eyelid region.
In upper blepharoplasty, a surgical incision is delicately placed within the eyelid’s natural crease. Subsequently, the surgeon can meticulously remove or reposition any surplus fat, strengthen the underlying muscles, and eliminate excess skin.
For lower blepharoplasty, the incision is made just below the lower lash line. The surgeon can remove the excess skin in the lower eyelid and remove or reposition the excess fat.
Sometimes, the transconjunctival incision is performed on the inside of the lower eyelid. This procedure allows for excess fat removal or redistribution without the skin.
Step 3: Closure of Incisions
The incisions made in this procedure are usually closed with sutures or a special skin adhesive. If sutures are used, they are generally removed within a week.
Step 4: View Results
At the same time, during the recovery, swelling and scars are subsiding, and a smoother and better-defined upper eyelid and the surrounding region gradually appear. The surgery rejuvenates the patient's appearance.
Precautions After the Procedure
- Use prescribed medicines and eyedrops
- Clear your eyelid gently
- Avoid any strenuous activity for a week
- Do not rub your eyes
- Protect your eyes from the sun and dirt
- Limit yourself from watching TV, using mobile, or reading during the recovery period
When is Blepharoplasty Surgery Useful to You?
Due to aging, the elasticity of the skin changes drastically. With time, bags might appear due to stressful or sad times in your life. The slight lowering of the eyelids can also be hereditary. In this case, blepharoplasty surgery can be useful at a younger age. Often, this procedure is done for aesthetic reasons, but baggy eyelids can also cause physical discomfort and lead to loss of sight or a constant feeling of tiredness in the eyes. It is not a painful journey. The surgeons will take the best care of you to make the entire journey free of discomfort.
It can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. You will definitely benefit from the correction of the upper eyelids if you suffer from baggy eyes, too-small eyes, impaired eyesight, or constantly tired eyes. Correction of the lower eyelids will surely help you if you experience loose skin under the eyes, bags under the eyes, or a tired appearance.
