The Basics of Eye Cosmetic Surgery
Also known as Blepharoplasty or eyelid reduction, eye cosmetic
surgery removed the surplus or loose skin and protruding
fat to give you a more younger and better looking appearance.
In some eye cosmetic surgery cases, only the skin has to
be reduced, while in others both the skin and fat need to
be removed. When only the fat deposits need to be removed
from your lower eyelids, the surgery is done from side of
the lower eyelid without making any external excision. This
surgery is known as ‘transconjunctival blepharoplasty.’
Almost like a facelift, the eyelid surgery only lifts the
area around the eyes but removing the extra skin and the end
result is a smoother, tighter, and smarter looking you. You
should opt for eyelid surgery if you want to ‘open’ up your
yes or want to reshape your eyes. This will help you look youthful,
enhance your overall appearance and boost your self confidence.
Like any other surgery, eye cosmetic surgery has some risks,
so it’s important to take the necessary precautions.
Why Eye Cosmetic Surgery
One of the effects of aging is that you experience sagging
or baggy skin around the upper and lower eye areas. For those
of you who are exposed to the sun or smoke excessively, the
effect can be far worse. Upper or lower eyelid surgery is
a popular and common procedure that many patients opt for
each year. The fantastic results of this procedure – firmer,
youthful, and smooth skin around the eyes – makes it a very
commonplace treatment.
Types Of Eye Cosmetic Surgery
In all, there are 4 types of eye cosmetic surgery and these
include:
- Upper eyelift surgery (performed to reduce the crease line
around the upper eyelid)
- Lower eyelift surgery (performed to reduce the crease line
around the lower eye area) and
- Upper and lower eyelift surgery (these surgeries are performed
together)
Duration and Cost of Eye Cosmetic Surgery
The eye lift surgery is performed after giving the patient
general or local anaesthetic, depending on their preference.
You only require being at the hospital for one day or one
day and one night depending on how comfortable you are after
the surgery. The recovery period is typically 10-14 days
as some of the patents may experience some amount of bruising
and swelling. Use of salt water and ice packs can help reduce
swelling and bruising.
