Cosmetic surgery to the eye can correct a number of defects or deformities. This surgery can also be performed to aesthetically enhance the eyelid region. Blepharoplasty may be a good option if you are unhappy with your eyelids. The procedure involves reconstructing your eyelids so that they look more natural and youthful.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, a cosmetic procedure for the eyes that removes excess fat and skin, is called Blepharoplasty. This surgery can improve the appearance and decrease puffiness of the upper eyelids. It can also reduce wrinkles around your eyes. The surgery can be performed on the upper and/or lower lids.
Most patients are healthy and have no excess skin or fat under their eyes. Some patients have sagging eyebrows caused by smoking, poor skin elasticity, or brow ptosis. In these cases, a second procedure may be required to correct the problem. Good skin care habits and avoidance of the sun can increase skin elasticity.
Patients are advised to stay at home for at minimum one week following surgery. Some patients may experience slight swelling and bruising over several days. Most patients recover quickly and can resume their daily activities within one week.
Upper lid lift
Cosmetic surgery called upper lid lift can improve the appearance of your eyes. This surgery can correct any disfigurements or defects in your eyelids and also improve the aesthetics of your eye region. This procedure can help you look younger and more confident. Blepharoplasty may be an option for patients unhappy with their appearance due to aging.
Cosmetic surgery to lift the upper lids involves removing excess skin. It is an outpatient procedure, and can be performed in the doctor's office. The surgeon will make small incisions around your eyes and remove any excess skin or fat. He may also adjust the muscles that surround the eye.
Local anesthesia is used for the surgery. Patients may experience soreness or bruising. The discomfort can be eased by using cold compresses, elevating the head while asleep, and elevating the head. After a week, patients may resume light activity, although they should avoid strenuous activity for two weeks.
Revision of the eyelids
One of the most common plastic surgery procedures is revision surgery for eyelids. This procedure can significantly improve your facial appearance. There are risks and complications associated with this procedure. The eyelid region is extremely delicate, and even an "acceptable" result can be a major disappointment.
There are several risks, including an allergic reaction, scarring, swelling, bruising, and pain in the eyes. Other potential complications include abnormal coloring or folding of the eyelid skin, loss of vision, or infection. When considering revision surgery to the eyelids, it is important to take into account safety and long term health.
Double vision can sometimes occur following eyelid surgery in very rare cases. It is usually due to the local anesthetic that was used during surgery. It usually resolves in a matter of hours. However, if the problem persists after the first day, it is important to have your vision checked carefully. This could be an indication of injury to the eye muscle. Revision surgery for eyelids can also lead to scarring that does not heal.
