Eye Lift Surgery: All You Need to Know

The look of the upper, lower, or both eyelids can be improved with eye lift surgery, often known as blepharoplasty. The area surrounding the eyes can look younger after blepharoplasty. In order to appear more youthful, it is widely used to treat loose or sagging skin, excess fat, remove dark circles or "bags" under the eyes, droopiness, and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid. Eyes are among the first features of a person that are noted. We develop wrinkles, creases, and puffiness as we get older, giving us an aged or worn-out appearance. A facelift or nose surgery (rhinoplasty), for example, are often combines with blepharoplasty.

Reasons for Considering Eye Lift Surgery

• Excessive skin or wrinkles surrounding the eyelids

• Dark circles or “bags” under the eyes

• Puffiness or a tired appearance or due to inherited factors

• Droopiness and fine wrinkles

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty can improve the appearance of the eyelids.

It focuses on the typical signs of aging that impact the eyes and the skin around them, including drooping eyelids, fatty buildup that makes eyes look puffy, drooping or bags, and creases under the eyes.

In order to give the illusion of larger, more open eyes, blepharoplasty tightens the muscles and skin of the eyelids, removes extra fat, and raises the eyelid skin.

Depending on the areas you want to focus on, there are a variety of different eyelid surgery techniques accessible. Patients have the choice to have surgery both or on either of their upper or lower eyelids.

Incisions are made during an upper blepharoplasty procedure to remove skin and fat. An eyelid crease is then created by pulling the skin together with a little stitch.

Your surgeon will make incisions in the lower eyelid during lower eyelid surgery and then remove any extra skin and fat. In order to give the appearance of smoother, raised skin, he or she will sew the skin back together.

For hollow areas under the eyes to appear fuller, your doctor may also advise fat grafting or injection.

General Procedure

The skin's built-in wrinkles around the eyes cover the little incisions made during the surgical treatment. First, the surgeon would probably operate on the upper eyelids to tighten any loose skin and remove any fatty tissue. After that, the lower eyelids are surgically treated to lessen puffiness and dark circles.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, typically takes one to three hours. The eyelid surgery may take longer if other cosmetic treatments are being done at the same time.

Recovery Process

To speed up the healing process and shorten the recovery period, post-operative instructions typically call for plenty of rest and mild exercise. Patients may occasionally feel modest post-operative pain that can be managed with oral medicine. Although complications are uncommon, patients can lower their risk of experiencing them by carefully adhering to the post-operative instructions provided to them after the procedure. Long-lasting results of blepharoplasty include a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
