Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing sagging, puffiness, and excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure offers an effective solution to the tired and aged appearance caused by aging in the eyelids.
Blepharoplasty surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and muscle tissue. For the lower eyelid, the incision is made just below the eyelashes or inside the lower eyelid to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue. If necessary, eye bags can also be removed during this procedure.
The blepharoplasty surgery typically takes about 1-2 hours. The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the patient's eye structure and the complexity of the corrections to be made.
Patients can usually go home on the first day after blepharoplasty surgery. Swelling, bruising, and redness in the eyes are normal after the surgery. This can be controlled with cold compresses and pain relievers. Patients should visit their doctor within a week to have the stitches removed. Complete recovery may take several weeks.
During the recovery process, patients should follow the doctor's instructions. These instructions may include:
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty surgery are those in good general health, with realistic expectations, understanding the risks and benefits of the surgery, who avoid smoking and alcohol, and who have sagging, puffiness, or excess skin on the eyelids and are unhappy with the tired and aged appearance of their eyes. People who meet these criteria can achieve more successful results before the surgery.
The results obtained after blepharoplasty surgery are generally permanent. However, it is important for patients to follow post-operative instructions and protect their eyes from sunlight. Otherwise, sagging and puffiness may reoccur in the eyelids.
The most suitable age range for blepharoplasty surgery is 35 years and older. At this age, age-related changes in the eyelids become noticeable, and the results of the surgery are more effective.
There are some important points that patients should pay attention to before blepharoplasty surgery. First, smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided as these habits can negatively affect wound healing and increase the risk of infection. Therefore, patients should avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 2 weeks before the surgery. Additionally, blood-thinning medications like aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding. Therefore, patients should stop taking blood thinners at least 1 week before the surgery. It is also important to follow the doctor's instructions before the surgery. The doctor's instructions may include coming to the surgery on an empty stomach, bringing comfortable clothes to wear during the surgery, not wearing makeup or jewelry, and bringing all necessary medications. Following these instructions will ensure the surgery is performed safely and successfully.
Blepharoplasty surgery costs vary depending on the surgeon's experience, the location of the hospital, and the complexity of the corrections to be made.
After blepharoplasty surgery, patients should follow the doctor's instructions. These instructions may include:
