Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty – Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. This treatment can reduce under-eye bags and wrinkles, giving a more youthful and refreshed look.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgery that focuses on the upper and lower eyelids. During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat that can accumulate over time and may also correct underlying muscles if necessary. This procedure helps to eliminate under-eye bags and eyelid wrinkles, improving the overall appearance of the eyes.
Who is a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are individuals with drooping upper and/or lower eyelids, under-eye bags, or wrinkles. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. Blepharoplasty is suitable for those seeking a younger and fresher appearance but cannot address vision problems or lift the eyebrows.
What is the Recovery Process Like?
Recovery after blepharoplasty includes swelling and bruising around the eyes, which generally subside within one to two weeks. It is advisable to avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative care instructions carefully. Most people can return to their daily activities after about a week, although the final results may take some time to become fully visible.
