In this article we will talk about Eyelid Surgery or also known as Intervention Blepharoplasty, its procedure and its recovery.
Eyelid surgery is an operation to correct excess skin and fat bags on the eyelids so that our eyes do not feel tired and aged. This as the years go by, these fabrics become more relaxed and this feeling is more accentuated.
Like many other interventions, it can be combined with others to have better results such as surgery of the bags, to eliminate facial wrinkles or sagging of the face. It is a simple and short operation with very long-lasting results.
The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation and the patient is awake but with the area asleep or if the doctor deems it necessary, general anesthesia could be used.
What is done in this surgery is simply to remove the excess skin from the eyelid to eliminate that effect of a sad and tired look, and if necessary, the bags under the eyes will also be eliminated, with which we will be able to remove that effect of swelling to the look.
With regard to the lower eyelids, which is the area of ​​the bags, we can do it in two ways, the first is externally through the eyelids with a small scar that we close with a very fine and almost negligible suture where we remove fat bags and at the same time we have a tensor effect. Or internally, which is also through the eyelid but through the inside area and also there we extract the bag, being inside it does not leave a visible scar and no stitches are needed since that area heals very well on its own.
The duration of this intervention is usually between thirty and sixty minutes approximately.
Recovery from this operation is simple, the next day we can go home, being able to join our working life from the 5th day or so, but all this may vary depending on the evolution and the opinion of the doctor.
After a few days that the area has deflated, what we will achieve is to eliminate the effect of fatigue and aging, giving the look a younger and healthier appearance and making the eyes look bigger.
