What to Know About Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is one of the most common procedures performed by cosmetic surgeons. Specifically, an incision is made in the upper eyelid crease to remove excess skin. The incision is made in such a way to prevent any scarring. Eyelids sometimes prevent people from having good vision as they can droop and cover parts of the iris. They are also a common source of complaint for people with excessively droopy, puffy, or wrinkly eyelids. Many patients in and around look toward a certified cosmetic surgeon to perform their eyelid surgery.
Generally, anyone with a specific goal in mind for their eyelids who is healthy and without serious illness or eye conditions are good candidates for blepharoplasty. Smokers and those with diseases that slow the healing process tend not to be good candidates for this procedure. However, anyone who wishes to correct their eyelids and is in good health should consider blepharoplasty to ease their self-consciousness.
The many benefits of blepharoplasty
Patients who choose to pursue blepharoplasty benefit from a lifetime of beautiful eyes. Aging naturally will continue with the eyelids, but you are providing them with almost a fresh start. The results will show as soon as a few weeks following the procedure. Incision lines will become very fine and eventually become virtually undetectable. Patients who undergo blepharoplasty benefit from a youthful appearance, improved vision, and a smoother eyelid surface.
What to expect from our eyelid enhancement procedure
The procedure is outpatient, so you will not have to spend the night in a hospital. Before beginning the procedure, intravenous or general anesthesia will be given. Incision lines are designed to be hidden upon healing, so the natural crease of the eyelid and just below the lower lash line are common areas used for incision. Depending on what needs to be corrected, fatty deposits are removed, muscles are tightened, and excess skin is removed. Then, the incisions are closed with removable sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape. Usually, the patient can return to work 7-10 days after the procedure.
Blepharoplasty is a fantastic way for people to recover their confidence and vision through corrective eyelid surgery. A board-certified cosmetic surgeon is the best option for this procedure as they will take special care to limit scarring and keep your eyes beautiful.
