Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. This type of surgery is performed to address issues such as excess skin, muscle laxity, and fat pockets around the eyes.
Blepharoplasty can address both aesthetic and functional concerns. Some individuals opt for this surgery to correct the appearance of droopy or puffy eyelids, which can make them appear tired or aged. Others may experience visual difficulties due to excess skin on the upper eyelids, and surgery can help improve their field of vision.
Procedure
During blepharoplasty, precise incisions are made on the eyelids to access the underlying tissues. Through these incisions, excess skin is removed, muscles are tightened, and accumulated fat is eliminated or redistributed. The goal is to achieve a more rejuvenated and refreshed appearance around the eyes.
The recovery time after eyelid surgery can vary from person to person, but it generally takes several weeks for swelling and bruising to completely subside. During this time, it’s important to follow the surgeon’s instructions regarding incision care, applying cold compresses to reduce swelling, and avoiding intense physical activities.
