Important But Basic Information On Eyelid Surgery Commonly Known As Blepharoplasty
By Tim Gorman
Plastic surgery is becoming more commonplace, and one very popular procedure is blepharoplasty. This involves removing excess fat from the patient's upper eyelids. Any excess muscle or skin is also removed, which helps to give the eyes a younger and more vibrant appearance. For someone with upper eyelids that appear to drop, or who has excessive bags under the eyes, this procedure can be enormously beneficial. Often it's done in conjunction with other types of facial surgery, giving the whole face a more youthful appearance.
Generally, this type of surgery is best performed on someone who overall has a good self-image, but just feels their eyelid area is having a negative impact on his or her appearance. It's important to be realistic about what blepharoplasty can achieve, and discussing potential outcomes with your surgeon is a good idea. There's a certain level of planning involved before the surgery can be performed, and you will need to undergo a few basic medical tests. These include testing your vision, as well as the ability of your eyes to produce tears.
When you are discussing blepharoplasty with your surgeon, make sure you give clear instructions about which lids are to be worked on. Some patients may only want their upper eyelids altered, while others wish to improve the appearance of all four lids. Making your wishes clear to the surgeon will reduce the chance of miscommunication. If you're not sure about anything to do with the procedure, ask your questions during the consultation phase. Your surgeon is an expert, and so can give you the best information about your operation and what it can achieve.
Also, make sure you get a comprehensive quote for the surgery, which includes all the extras required. That way you won’t get any nasty shocks afterwards. Blepharoplasty is an outpatient operation, and can usually be performed in the plastic surgeon's own facility. Local anesthesia is used, which means the eye area will be numb but you will still be aware throughout the procedure. Generally, however, the surgeon will administer sedatives and perhaps painkillers, so that the surgery is less distressing.
Afterwards, your eyelids will be sore. It's important to keep your head elevated for as much of the day as possible, to help minimize bruising and swelling after the operation. A good plastic surgeon will want you to visit again about a week after the surgery, to make sure you are progressing well. It's generally possible to get back to normal activities in around ten days, and strenuous activities can be recommenced after around three weeks. It's possible, however, that the eyelids will still remain slightly pink for up to six months. But eventually that will fade too, leaving you with attractive new eyelids.
