A tired and heavy look is the first thing someone notices about us. With the passage of time, relaxation of the skin and accumulation of fat around the eyes are observed. Many times, we are not only talking about aesthetic reasons, as ptosis can affect our peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty is divided into upper and lower depending on the needs of each face.
UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY
With upper blepharoplasty, excess skin on the upper part of the eyelids is essentially removed. The doctor makes a small incision on the upper eyelid at the point where the eye folds, which with the healing of the skin will not be visible.
LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY
In lower blepharoplasty, the incision is made a few millimeters below the eyelashes. With the lower blepharoplasty method, periorbital fat is removed from the lower eyelids, which creates the so-called bags. The procedure takes about 2 hours and is done under local anesthesia.
AFTER BLEPHAROPLASTY SURGERY
Immediately after the surgery, you will have fine stitches, but the recovery will be quick within 2-3 days without any heavy medication. You will faithfully follow the postoperative instructions given by the doctor. You should avoid bending, intense physical exercise and fatigue, and sun exposure. Stitches are removed approximately after 7 days, while the incisions heal over the next 2 to 3 months using regenerative cream.
