Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat, skin, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It corrects droopy upper lids, under-eye bags, and wrinkles, helping to eliminate the tired or aged appearance these features can cause.
Procedure Overview
The eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is performed through incisions made in the natural folds of the eyelids, making them barely noticeable. Excess skin and fat are removed from the upper eyelids, and for the lower eyelids, the skin and muscle are lifted and the fat pockets are extracted. When necessary, the surgeon also corrects excess skin and the malposition of the outer area of the eyelids.
Recovery and Aftercare
Typically, patients undergoing blepharoplasty stay in the clinic for about 24 hours after surgery. An overnight stay may be recommended for comfort and monitoring, depending on each patient’s condition and the surgeon’s advice. Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients return to their normal routine within two weeks. Following post-operative instructions carefully is key to ensuring a safe healing process and optimal results.
