Blepharoplasty is a procedure that, by correcting the volume of the skin and restoring the proper tension of the fascial structures, helps to recreate a young and healthy appearance of the area around the eyes, the correct contour and shape of the eyelids.
Thanks to this surgical intervention, it is possible to correct defects caused by an excess of tissues, often devoid of elasticity. Plastic surgery is relevant for those who want to get rid of bags and tired eyes, want to make the look more expressive and attractive.
Indications for treatment
Both women and men resort to aesthetic surgical intervention. Signs of aging, lack of expressiveness-the plastic surgeon easily corrects the shape and incision of the eyes, eliminates defects, and gives the desired appearance.
Blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids is usually performed to remove the hernial sac, and the upper eyelids to correct excess tissue. Circular blepharoplasty is performed on the upper and lower eyelids. The cost of such plastics will be the highest.
The procedure is performed for medical reasons, which include:
- abnormalities of the tissues surrounding the eyes;
- the appearance of fat tumors on the eyelids;
- bulging of the eyeballs, eversion, inversion of the eyelid and eyelashes;
- the presence of dry eye syndrome.
Plastic surgery will also be relevant for those who are concerned about the overhanging of the upper eyelids due to weakened muscles. The defect significantly reduces the quality of life: a person’s field of vision narrows, there are difficulties with reading, driving a car.
Blepharoplasty is also indicated for some aesthetic problems. Correction is necessary for people with:
- lowered corners of the eyes;
- increased severity of nasolacrimal furrows;
- puffiness and bags under the eyes;
- asymmetry, wrinkles and other defects that worsen the appearance.
Blepharoplasty is not a complicated procedure, but it requires special equipment and skills.
How does eyelid surgery work
The correction is performed under local anesthesia or short-term general anesthesia. When plastic surgery of the upper eyelids, an incision is made in the crease of the eyelid, part of the skin is removed along with a fragment of the circular muscle, if indicated, fat hernias are removed. The scar is located in the crease, it is almost invisible. With blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids, an incision is made under the eyelashes, excess skin and part of the circular muscle are carefully removed, fat hernias are removed or moved.
As a rule, the patient can go home almost immediately after the procedure. The stitches are removed for 4-5 days after the plastic surgery. The risk of complications is extremely low, you can return to work after 7-14 days (depending on which century the operation was performed).
A little bit about how much the procedure costs in Minsk: you can find out the cost at the consultation, because it depends on the area and complexity of the intervention.
