Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Aesthetics)
Age progression, genetic factors, smoking, insomnia, fatigue, stress, etc. in the eyelid and surrounding structures. The procedures performed to correct the changes due to factors are evaluated in eyelid aesthetics. Sagging of the skin, herniation of fat bags, downward inclination of the lower lid, droopy eyebrows, droopy eyelids are the problems that occur due to these reasons. To correct these problems, lower upper eyelid aesthetics is applied.
In these procedures, excess skin and fat bags are removed. If there are sunken and hollow areas around the eyes, fat packs can be placed in these areas. In individuals with loose lower lid structure, lower lid tightening is performed. If there is a droopy eyelid, ptosis surgery can be applied, and if there is a droopy eyebrow, brow lift can also be applied. In other words, the procedures to be performed are determined according to the needs of the patient, without disturbing the natural appearance.
The area around the eyes may lose its flexibility due to genetic factors, environmental factors, aging, stress, smoking….- There may be skin sagging, fat bags, subcutaneous fat deposits on the upper and lower lids.
- Together, low eyelid and drooping eyebrows can be seen.
- The treatment can be applied surgically.
- Before the treatment, the patient's face is evaluated as a whole. Only sagging skin can be removed, if there are fat bags, it can be removed, or especially in patients with a prominent tear trough on the lower lid, the tear trough is filled with fat packs and a smoother image is obtained on the lower lid.
- In the upper lid, the incision is made from the upper lid crease, the incisions on the lower lid are made either by the conjunctival tract or at the level of the ciliated edge.
How Long Does Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Aesthetic) Recovery Take?
After eyelid aesthetics, there is a recovery period of about 10 days. This is the process until the stitches are removed. In this process, swelling and bruising develop.
For the first two days, this can be quite challenging for the patient. There is no serious pain.
In the later process, these swellings and bruises begin to descend.
Usually, by the end of the first week, it is almost gone. eyelid swelling and bruises are removed on the 10th day, and the process is completed in this way.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Aesthetics) Surgery
Eyelid aesthetic surgery is an operation performed on the eyelid, especially when there is excess skin.
This means that over time, the eyelid skin may stretch more than it does, either due to genetic factors or during the wear process.
In this case, the pressure on the ciliated edge can go down to the lashed edge and can make heaviness on the eyelid.
In this case, surgical removal of the skin, especially on the upper eyelid, can provide relief from this aspect.
Upper eyelid aesthetics is performed only on the upper lid and can be applied on the lower lid as well. Applications can be made by determining the needs of the patient.
In the applications on the upper lid, not only the skin is removed, but if there are fat herniations, fat hernias can be removed or if there are pits, the existing fat can be placed in these pits.
Fat hernias can be removed in the same way on the lower eyelid and if there are pits, they can be placed in the hollow areas. These are roughly the applications made on the upper eyelid.
Which Type of Anesthesia is Applied in Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Aesthetics)?
It is appropriate to apply anesthesia in eyelid aesthetics, especially with local anesthesia in the cases we apply.
However, it will be easier to plan such an operation in addition to calming the patient by giving some sedation in patients who have upper and lower lid aesthetics performed together.
Because two operations are performed, the duration of the operation will be longer and the patient may be stressed.
Therefore, it will be healthier to give sedation and relax the patient, and then apply eyelid surgery together with sedation.
