Blepharoplasty changes the shape of the eyes
Immediately after the operation, the eyes may have different shapes. However, this is all due to the
postoperative
period. After a certain amount of time, that is, complete healing, the eyes take an absolutely identical shape
to
each other. There are rare cases when the eyes are different, but often this is due to the fault of the surgeon
or
the wrong method chosen.
Blepharoplasty leads to premature aging of the skin
This operation has nothing to do with the aging processes in the body. It has absolutely no effect on skin
aging.
This is a standard facelift, which gives a rejuvenating effect, but does not accelerate the aging process in any
way.
Blepharoplasty is prohibited for patients with poor eyesight
A completely unfounded myth that misleads and scares patients. Blepharoplasty can be performed regardless of
whether
your eyesight is bad or good. The operation can even help to see better if there was an overhanging eyelid. But
it
is worth considering the fact that with poor eyesight, you will not be able to use lenses after surgery for
about a
week.
Indications for the procedure
If we talk about specific medical indications for the procedure, then these include:
- Abnormally low location of the upper eyelid.
- Excessive overhanging of skin folds.
- The inversion of the eyelid (entropion), when the eyelashes are turned to the eyeball.
- Ectropion is the inversion of the tissues of the lower and upper eyelids outward.
Aesthetic indications:
- Drooping of the corners of the eye.
- Asymmetry.
- Stretching of the circular eye muscle.
- Skin atrophy.
- Bug-eyed (exophthalmos).
- Additional crease at the inner corner of the eyelid.
Contraindications
Contraindications include any inflammatory processes, as well as eye diseases (conjunctivitis, glaucoma, dry eye
syndrome, etc.) and chronic infectious diseases (tuberculosis). This includes diabetes mellitus,
immunodeficiency,
decreased blood clotting, thyroid pathology and many others.
After blepharoplasty, you can not use cosmetics
After the operation, after about 5 days, it is allowed to use cosmetics. The patient can safely paint with ink,
shadows and other decorative and cosmetic products. And after full rehabilitation (after 2-3 weeks), when the
stitches are removed and the tissues are almost healed, you can start to lead your usual lifestyle without fear
of
damaging your eyelids with cosmetics.
Blepharoplasty is performed only once and in adulthood
Absolutely not. Blepharoplasty, as mentioned above, is carried out both for cosmetic and medical purposes. That
is,
it does not matter how old the patient is. If he has health problems directly related to eyelid disease, then
the
operation is mandatory. As for the elimination of aesthetic defects, age also does not play any role.
Blepharoplasty can be performed up to 2 times, sometimes more. All this is due to the individual characteristics
of
the body. If they allow a person to perform the procedure several more times, then it is quite feasible. It is
very
rare when the operation is performed only 1 time.
After surgery, there are scars that need to be masked
Scars remain after any operation, but they are so invisible that neither others nor you yourself will be able to
detect them until you look carefully. And all because best blepharoplasty surgeon make them in
the crease of the
eyelid, while they are very thin, since modern suture material is used.
