     Blepharoplasty (upper & lower)

    Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that fixes saggy eyelids by eliminating extra skin, fat, and muscle. During the course of aging, your eyelids sag, and the muscles that sustain them become weaker. The consequence is bags under your eyes, drooping eyebrows, and saggy upper lids caused by excess fat accumulating along each eyelid. Apart from making you look older, sagging eyelids can limit your peripheral vision. Particularly in the top and outer regions of your range of view. In medical aesthetics, non-surgical blepharoplasty is a term that encompasses a wide range of non-surgical forms of treatment.

    Possible Causes

    Eyelid surgery is most popular among people who are seeking anti-aging treatments. As we get older, the skin around our eyes begins to wrinkle and sag. However, if you find this unpleasant, you may want to consider a procedure like this. Blepharoplasty is also sought after by those with sagging eyebrows and bags beneath the eyes. It may be performed for reasons other than cosmetics for some people. If sagging skin is interfering with your eyesight, you may be a contender for this treatment. Some people may claim that the sagging skin obstructs their view when glancing upwards.

    Risk Factors

    Possible risk factors associated with eyelid surgery are:

    • Infection and bleeding
    • Noticeable scarring
    • Skin discoloration
    • Temporary blurred vision
    • Injury to eye muscles

    The risk associated is general. Always choose a trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon in Dubai to mitigate the risk factors.

    Sign & Symptoms

    You may require blepharoplasty when you have:

    • Baggy or droopy eyelids
    • Excess skin on upper or lower eyelids
    • Bags under the eyes

    Diagnosis

    You must first meet with our plastic surgeon to explore your issues and intended outcomes for your eyelids. Several tests are required by our surgeon before this surgery is performed on you. Your eyes are examined and measured during a physical exam. Sight and abrasion checks are also carried out.

    In certain cases, general anesthesia may be required. A numbing chemical is frequently injected into your eyelids by the surgeon. First, the top eyelids are treated. As a result of this procedure, our surgeon creates a small incision to remove extra skin along with some fat and muscle. After the incision is closed, our surgeon may relocate some of these tissues to different places around the eye.

    Lower lid blepharoplasty usually includes extracting fat, which leads to under-eye bags and often a small bit of skin removal. Depending on the eyelid type, the cut can be made either inside or outside the lower eyelids. The lower eyelid can be constructed or attached to the bony skeleton in some individuals.

    FAQs

    Frequently asked questions

    Comparatively, the recovery time for blepharoplasty is short. Unless there are issues, you’ll be sent home the same day if there are no adverse effects. Shortly following eyelid surgery, it’s crucial to take it easy for a few days. Swelling and discomfort are possible side effects of the treatment. Be sure to wash the skin softly and maintain it clean as well. Once you’ve recovered after a few days, you must visit the surgeon again for an assessment and have any stitches removed, if necessary.

    It’s critical to inform our surgeon about any medicines you’re taking, whether prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, or any herbal supplements. You are advised to stop taking any medicines that boost your risk of bleeding (blood thinners). For several weeks before your blepharoplasty, you’ll also have to give up smoking for health reasons.

    The effects of blepharoplasty are long-lasting. You are unlikely to need follow-up procedures. The effects on the upper lid may last anywhere between 5-7 years and for the lower lid for more than 20 years.
