The eyes are the first thing people notice about us, and through our eyes we show our mood and our psychology. Unfortunately, the skin around the eyes is particularly thin and sensitive, which means it loses its elasticity very easily. One of the most effective procedures to correct this problem is blepharoplasty, either upper or lower depending on the problem.
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that aims to remove excess skin around the eyelid and treat the so-called bags under the eyes.
It is mainly indicated for cases where:
- There is excess skin on the upper eyelids, which weighs down the skin and covers the eye.
- There is excess skin on the lower eyelids, which creates a tired and aged appearance.
- Difficulty with peripheral vision due to drooping eyelids.
The procedure is completely painless as it is performed under local anesthesia and can be done either on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both at the same time. Blepharoplasty takes about 1.5 to 2 hours in the doctor’s office in complete safety.
Post-Operative Instructions
Blepharoplasty is a relatively easy procedure as you can go home immediately afterwards. In the first few days after surgery, there may be some swelling around the eyes, which will gradually subside. The stitches are removed 1 week after surgery. The results of blepharoplasty last up to a decade.
The basic instructions for after blepharoplasty are:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for the first few weeks after surgery
- Avoid exposure to the sun
- Avoid lifting weights and bending over for the first few days after blepharoplasty
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for the first few days.
- Clean the area according to the doctor’s instructions.
