Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty

We tend to want to look young and fresh in order to have high self-esteem. Increased sun exposure, on the other hand, accelerates skin aging. Even those who avoid the sun are not immune to the effects of natural aging. In general, the young, fresh expression fades with age, giving way to a sagging and wrinkled, less vital appearance. This impression is frequently supported by the area around the eyes.

Drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes can make some people appear and feel older than they are. The area around the eyes, like the rest of the human skin, changes over time – at some point, the elasticity decreases. This area's skin is of a specific type. The skin here is very thin and sensitive in comparison to other parts of the skin.
As a result, one's own gaze appears tired and slack, there is a lack of youthful radiance, and the eyes appear puffy. Many people then decide that they no longer feel truly comfortable in their own skin and decide to have an eyelid correction (blepharoplasty) to look younger again. This eyelid operation is rarely medically necessary, which is why eyelid correction is also one of the plastic-aesthetic corrections, also known as cosmetic surgeries.

Frequently Asked Questions

The operation is hardly painful. The injection for the local anesthetic is less painful than a blood draw. Slight wound pain after the operation can be easily endured with a "normal" light painkiller.
Blepharoplasty can be performed in young adulthood in exceptional cases, particularly in the case of congenital deformities. Drooping eyelids caused by age are operated on between the ages of 40 and 50. Eyelid lifts are now performed on both men and women. Despite the fact that more women are having plastic surgery, eyelid surgery is now the most popular aesthetic procedure for men.
The pure surgical time for upper and lower eyelid correction is approximately 1 - 2 hours.
The eyelid lift is usually painless and can be performed under local anesthesia. If the patient is extremely anxious or if additional measures are required, the procedure should be performed under general anesthesia.
After about 10 days, the swelling and discoloration will have subsided to the point where the patient is socially acceptable. Furthermore, the eyelids should be kept cool for 24 hours after the procedure to reduce swelling.
Complications from an eyelid lift are extremely rare. Individual cases may result in misalignment of the lower eyelids if the reins are not properly adjusted, or swelling that occurs over time due to the slow resorption of deep threads. However, if the blepharoplasty is done correctly, these risks are almost completely eliminated. Furthermore, minor swellings can temporarily limit the field of vision.
In general, yes. The necessary measures and techniques are determined by the patient's unique circumstances. This means that the position of the upper or lower eyelid must be carefully examined to determine whether it is incorrect or if it is caused by fatty tissue, swelling, or a scar. In an individual consultation, all of these aspects must be analyzed and discussed.
