Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape the eyelids aesthetically and functionally. It is usually performed to correct problems such as sagging, bags or excess skin on the eyelids due to aging, genetic predisposition or other reasons. This operation can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids.
Excess skin and fat deposits on the upper eyelids can cause the eyes to look tired and old. On the lower eyelids, bags and swelling that usually occur due to aging can cause discomfort. Blepharoplasty removes the excess and reshapes the eyelids to eliminate these problems.
Before the operation, your doctor performs a detailed examination and creates a plan that suits your needs. This procedure, which is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensures that the patient does not feel discomfort during the operation. There may be slight swelling, bruising and discomfort after the procedure, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days. It is important to follow the care instructions recommended by your doctor during the recovery process.
Blepharoplasty is a procedure that usually takes a few hours and most patients can be discharged the same day. The results are permanent and rejuvenate the appearance of your eyelids. However, like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty can have some risks and complications. Therefore, it is important to discuss all risks and your expectations with your doctor in detail before the procedure.
In conclusion, blepharoplasty is an effective method to improve the appearance of your eyelids, both aesthetically and functionally. When performed by a specialist surgeon, successful results are usually achieved and patients are satisfied.
