Blepharoplasty is a medical term for eyelid surgery, and it originates from the Latin word “blepharon”, which means eyelid; And “plasty” means molding. So blepharoplasty is the molding of the eyelid skin. If you want a more youthful appearance in your eyes, blepharoplasty is a good option for you. Every blepharoplasty operation is different, and it is adapted uniquely to the patient’s anatomy and requests. During blepharoplasty, either the extra skin of the upper eyelid is removed, which is also known as an eyelift, or lower eyelid bags will be eliminated. If you want one intervention that you can do at a single point in time and never repeat it, blepharoplasty is a good option for you.
The eyes are the most important aesthetic feature of the face. With the help of eyes, emotions can be determined, and a part of facial expressions are rendered only through one’s eyes. Eyes are the first part of the face to show the early signs of aging. If you have bags under your eyes, and your eyes look puffy and tired all the time, the fat that is surrounding your eyeballs, has started to come to the surface of your skin.
There are two Treatment options for puffy eyes. The first procedure is to inject a filler, below where the fat is pushing out, to decrease the puffiness; So that a smooth contour from the lower eyelid to the cheek is created. The second method is to remove the fat with surgery with a procedure that is called blepharoplasty. Depending on the patient’s situation and what they desire, both filler injection and blepharoplasty are very convenient and depending on the patient’s anatomy, either filler or blepharoplasty can achieve a satisfactory result.
Reasons for getting dark circles and lower eyelid bags can be lack of sleep, salty diet, smoking, excessive sun exposure, genetics, frequent rubbing, or the stretching of skin that happens through time. Process of aging results in thinner skin and, consequently, in the loss of volume in the skin and around the eyes. The orbital fat that is inside the eye, moves forward with time, which leads to worsening of the under-eye bags. But they could be surgically corrected with blepharoplasty.
A general plastic surgeon does not have training in oculoplastic surgery, so you must consult an eye specialist for your blepharoplasty. After a comprehensive exam that might take about one hour, your doctor will come up with an individualized blepharoplasty treatment plan. Eyelid surgery is very often done with just local anesthesia. It means that blepharoplasty can be done is your doctor’s office or in a clinic. Your upper eyelid is simply numbed, and then blepharoplasty is performed. Basically, the excessive skin and fat of the upper eyelid are removed, to improve the overall appearance.
There exist more than fifty upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgical techniques, and that is why the treatment plan for every patient needs to be individualized. The procedure of upper eyelid blepharoplasty is basically very simple. The basic method for almost every technique in an upper eyelid blepharoplasty is as follows: first, the upper eyelid is marked precisely by your doctor; Then, Lidocaine is injected in the upper eyelid for local anesthesia, and a blade is used to remove the extra skin. Once the extra skin is removed, the upper eyelid is stitched together. The stitches will be removed in one week after blepharoplasty.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty also, has multiple techniques, like small incisions that are made from the inside of the eyelid, which results in faster recovery. The process involves eyelid contouring from the inside. This method of blepharoplasty results in a significant difference in the overall appearance.
In The procedure of lower eyelid blepharoplasty, a shield is placed on the eye to protect the eyeball. The lower eyelid is injected with lidocaine for local anesthesia. Then the extra fat is removed, in very small amounts, from the under of the eye, and then, the remaining necessary fat is repositioned and contoured under the eye. So everything is done from the inside, and no incision is made from the outside. But In specific cases of blepharoplasty, a small amount of skin should also be removed to achieve the desired results.
The recovery after either lower eyelid blepharoplasty or upper eyelid blepharoplasty is generally a very easy recovery. The only complication is that most patients get bruising around their eyes. The impact that the patients get on their appearance after blepharoplasty, as compared to the easy procedure of blepharoplasty and the time of recovery, is very significant. Therefore, the outcome of blepharoplasty is certainly worth the investment of time and money.
