In this article, we will talk about everything we need to know about this intervention, its procedure, and its recovery.
Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is an operation to correct excess skin and fat bags of the eyelids and that our eyes do not feel tired and aged. As the years go by these tissues relax and this feeling becomes more accentuated.
Like many other interventions, it can be combined with others to have better results such as bag surgery, to eliminate facial wrinkles or sagging faces. It is a simple and brief operation with very long-lasting results.
PROCESS
It can be performed with local anesthesia or sedation, while the patient is awake but with the sleeping area, or, if the doctor considers it necessary, general anesthesia could be used.
What is done in this surgery is simply to eliminate the excess skin of the eyelid to eliminate that effect of a sad and tired look, and, if necessary, the eye bags will also be removed, so that we will remove that effect of eye swelling.
Regarding the lower eyelids, which is the area of ​​the bags, it can be done in two different ways:
- The first is externally through the eyelids, with a small scar that we close with a very thin and almost negligible suture where we take out the fat bags and at the same time we have a tensor effect.
- Or internally, which is also through the eyelid but in the area inside and also there we remove the bag, inside does not leave a visible scar and no points are needed since that area heals very well alone.
The duration of this intervention is usually between approximately thirty and sixty minutes.
RECOVERY
The recovery of this operation is simple, the next day we can go home, being able to incorporate into our working life from the 5th day approximately, but all this may vary depending on the evolution and opinion of the doctor. After a few days that the area is deflated, what we will achieve is to eliminate the effect of tiredness and aging, giving the look a younger and healthier look and making the eyes look bigger.
