Upper eyelid surgery

UPPER EYELID CORRECTION (BLEPHAROPLASTY)

Blepharoplasty aims to treat droopy or swollen eyelids that can cause an aging facial appearance. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, usually to reduce lower eyelid sagging and/or remove excess tissue in the upper eyelid. The results of the treatment can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits and are long-lasting.

Swelling and bags under the lower eyelids and hooded skin on the upper eyelids can cause the patient to appear constantly tired, sad and older. In some cases, drooping eyelids can even cause vision problems (restricted field of vision). Discreet incisions are placed to remove excess skin and reposition fat deposits to restore a youthful and healthier appearance around the eyes. Eyelid surgery can treat many signs of aging.

Many patients choose Blepharoplasty to correct:

• •Drooping upper eyelids
• •Drooping lower eyelids
• •Wrinkles around the eyes
• •Swelling under the eyes
• •The appearance of chronic fatigue

During the procedure, the area is locally anesthetized, then a precise incision is made in the natural fold of the eyelid and - depending on the expansion of the loose skin - also in the lateral area of ​​the eye socket. Thanks to this access, excess skin and bulging fat are removed to a precisely defined extent. After the procedure, you should avoid physical exercise. Cooling the eyes reduces swelling. After about 2 to 3 weeks, the patient is in good social condition again and only a small scar is visible in the natural crease of the eyelid. After some time, this scar becomes almost completely invisible.

• •The incisions leave barely visible scars
• •Corrected ptosis of the upper eyelid
• •Improves poor visibility caused by low hanging eyelid tissue
• •Smoothes wrinkles around the eyes

Eyelid surgery will not eliminate facial wrinkles such as crow's feet (wrinkles at the corners of the eyes) or resolve discolored bags under the eyes. Because these conditions often occur concurrently with those treated with blepharoplasty, another treatment option may be combined with eyelid surgery.

after the procedure, the eyelids are swollen and discolored. After 3 days, the swelling begins to subside. Cool compresses are helpful to reduce swelling.
