REDUCE BAGGINESS FROM THE EYES WITH BLEPHAROPLASTY

 Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the eyelids. It involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to reduce sagging and puffiness, and to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Blepharoplasty in Dubai can be done for both cosmetic and functional reasons. Some people may have droopy or sagging eyelids that interfere with their vision, and in these cases, blepharoplasty may be done to improve their vision as well as their appearance.

PROCEDURE

The procedure of blepharoplasty can vary depending on the specific needs and goals of each patient, but here is a general overview of the steps involved:

• Anesthesia: The patient will receive either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable throughout the procedure.

• Incisions: The Plastic Surgeon will make precise incisions in the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize scarring. For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is typically made in the crease above the eyelid. For lower eyelid surgery, the incision can be made below the lower lid eyelashes or on the inside of the eyelid.

• Removal of excess tissue: The Provider will remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

• Closure: The incisions are then closed using small sutures, s


urgical tape, or skin adhesives.

• Recovery: The patient is taken to a recovery area where they will be monitored by medical staff. They may experience some bruising, swelling, and discomfort, which can be managed with medication and cold compresses. The patient should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few weeks after the procedure.

Overall, the procedure of blepharoplasty typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the extent of the surgery.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

The results of blepharoplasty can vary depending on the individual's specific needs and goals, as well as the skill and experience of the surgeon. However, in general, blepharoplasty can provide the following results:

• Improved appearance: Blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids, creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

• Reduced sagging and puffiness: Blepharoplasty can reduce sagging and puffiness around the eyes, making the eyes appear more awake and alert.

• Improved vision: For patients with sagging upper eyelids that obstruct their vision, blepharoplasty can improve their visual field.

• Long-lasting results: While the ageing process will continue, the results of blepharoplasty can last for many years.

• Boost in self-confidence: Many patients report feeling more confident and attractive following blepharoplasty, which can have a positive impact on their personal and professional lives.

It's important to note that the results of blepharoplasty are not immediate, as the eyes will need time to heal and the swelling to subside. The full results of the procedure may take several months to become fully apparent.

CARE AFTER BLEPHAROPLASTY

After blepharoplasty, it is important to take proper care of the eyes to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. Here are some general tips for post-operative care:

• Apply cold compresses: Applying cold compresses to the eyes can help reduce swelling and bruising. Use a clean cloth or gel pack and apply for 10-15 minutes at a time several times a day.

• Keep the eyes clean: Avoid getting water or soap in the eyes for the first few days after surgery. Use a clean, damp cloth to gently clean around the eyes.

• Avoid strenuous activities: Avoid any strenuous activity, heavy lifting or bending for the first few days after surgery, as this can increase swelling and risk of bleeding.

• Protect your eyes: Wear sunglasses and avoid rubbing or touching your eyes, which can increase the risk of infection or damage the healing incisions.

• Take prescribed medications: Your Plastic Surgeon may prescribe medication to manage pain, reduce inflammation, or prevent infection. Take these medications as directed.

• Attend follow-up appointments: Attend all follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.

• Get enough rest: Get plenty of rest and avoid smoking and alcohol, which can impair the healing process.

It is important to follow your Practitioner’s specific post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
