Due to its popularity, surgeons use several types of eye contour correction. They change the incision and the shape of the eyes, can eliminate unpleasant age changes, flaws. The most popular methods are circular eyelid lift, correction of lower eyelids, correction of upper eyelids. Such an adjustment is indicated for women who are already 35 years old, before such plastic surgery is not recommended. But often there are problems that are difficult to solve without plastic, so people of a younger age can also take blepharoplasty.
What problems can blepharoplasty solve:
- overhang of upper and lower eyelids;
- lowered corners of the eyes;
- "Fat bags" under the eyes;
- deep wrinkles in the upper and lower eyelid.
And also blepharoplasty will help to correct the shape or cut of the eyes.
But, alas, there are also contraindications to the conduct of such an operation. If you have cancer, diabetes, blood coagulability, high blood pressure, endocrine diseases, diseases of the cardiovascular system, then you can not make correction of the eyelids. And this is completely justified, since blepharoplasty is a very serious surgical intervention.
Since the operation of the operation involves the fiber of the eye, you need to undergo an examination with an ophthalmologist. The examination should be complete, even if you wear lenses or glasses, you should show them to the doctor.
This operation is performed in a hospital under general anesthesia. But do not worry about vision, since the eyeball is not affected during the operation, and in this case it is considered safe. The duration of one operation on average is from one hour to three hours.
How is the plastic surgery of the upper eyelids
To ensure that the scar after adjustment was not visible, the incisions are made in places of natural folds. Therefore, if the eyes are open, the scar is almost not noticeable. If there is an excess of subcutaneous fat or excess skin, all this is removed by excision.
How is plastic lower eyelid
To correct the lower eyelid, the surgeon makes an incision directly below the lash line, through which the fat tissue is removed, and the weakened skin is excised. After that, cosmetic sutures are applied.
The rehabilitation period after blepharoplasty takes about two weeks. Very often, bruises and swelling are observed after the operation, but this is a temporary phenomenon that occurs after two weeks. To prevent the appearance of bruises and edema, immediately after the operation it is recommended to do cold compresses. But with or without them, all these post-operative phenomena pass without a trace after two to three weeks. The stitches are usually removed for 4-5 days.
One of the complications after blepharoplasty surgery can be bleeding. It can occur either immediately after the intervention, or within a few hours after the operation. In addition, during the month do not recommend taking a hot shower, active physical activity, as this can provoke bleeding due to increased pressure.
The results of blepharoplasty are finally evaluated two months after the operation. Until then, the scar has to be fully formed and the postoperative edema should pass. With a favorable outcome of the operation and appropriate care, compliance with all the recommendations of the doctor, the result of eyelid correction can last up to ten years, and with a correct and healthy lifestyle, this period may last.
