What effect can be achieved from blepharoplasty?
Plastic surgery is indicated with a tired look, the appearance of bags under the eyes, excess skin of the lower
eyelids, withering and sagging skin. Correction allows you to:
Reduce the manifestation of age-related changes. In the process of aging, the skin loses elasticity and
firmness.
The operation struggles with such manifestations.
Remove excess skin formations. Bags and overhanging eyelids make the look heavy, give the face age and severity.
Change the eye section. Many patients want to get rid of the Asian eyelid or enlarge the incision.
Perform a lift of the muscles of the periorbital zone. This is a complex cosmetic operation that improves the
appearance of the temporal zone.
Eliminate defects. Eyelid surgery eliminates acquired and innate features.
The indication for the procedure is the detection of edema, bags, folds, blue or purple circles. After the
operation, there is a visual rejuvenation of the patient, as well as a decrease in eye fatigue associated with
overhanging of the skin.
Transconjunctive blepharoplasty
This is one of the least traumatic methods of blepharoplasty without skin dissection. The transconjunctive
intervention
is performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour. After the skin is treated with an antiseptic,
markings
are
applied and protective plates are applied. Then a local anesthetic is administered. To access the eyelid, an
incision is
made on the conjunctiva behind the eyelash growth line. Excess fat is removed, the skin is tightened, wrinkles
are
stopped. At the end, stitches and a hygienic bandage are applied.
Important features of transconjunctive blepharoplasty:
- it is a painless technique;
- due to minimal impact, it is characterized by rapid recovery;
- bruises and bruises do not remain after the procedure;
- no visible scars or scars;
- the risk of complications is minimal.
The technique is effective in the appearance of hernias overhanging the eyelid, to get rid of hernia bags and
dark
circles.
Blepharoplasty to create European eyelids
This method of plastic surgery is also known as sangapuri. It represents the correction of the Asian section and
the
formation of European eyelids. The European type of eye differs from the Asian one in its elongated almond
shape,
the
presence of a skin fold on the upper eyelid and the absence of a fold in the inner corner of the eye. The
characteristic
cut of the eastern eyes is due to the pronounced upper eyelid. During blepharoplasty,
anesthesia can be local or
general. The procedure allows:
- adjust the proportions and form an almond-shaped incision;
- reduce the skin crease on the upper eyelid;
- raise the outer corners;
- get rid of fat deposits.
Canthoplasty
This is blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelids, characterized by an affordable price and long-term
effect. It
is shown in the following cases:
- with asymmetry in the eye area;
- when the eyeball protrudes;
- to remove bags, folds, fat formations;
- when the lower eyelid is overhanging.
Cantoplasty helps to create a young and open look, get rid of wrinkles and other signs of aging. The surgeon
performs
the operation by raising or lowering the corners of the eye. This is achieved by tightening the tendons of the
eyelids.
First, they are separated from the cartilage tissue, then fixed to the required level. Before the operation, the
doctor
applies a marking with a special marker to correctly fix the new position.
Cantopexy
Cantopexy is often performed in combination with cantoplasty. The very name of the procedure comes from the
second
name
of the outer corner of the eye - the canthus. The operation allows you to stop the omission of corners, return
the
openness to the look and correct the shape of the eye. Indications for cantopexy:
- drooping of the corners of the eyes caused by age-related changes or congenital pathologies;
- eversion and deformation of the lower eyelid;
- pathological weakening of the canthus; the patient`s desire to change the shape of the eyes;
- the "bulging eyes" effect;
- loss of skin elasticity.
If local anesthesia is used, it is supplemented with sedatives to reduce the psychological discomfort of the
patient
during surgery. General anesthesia is not excluded. The surgeon makes an incision of the tissue in the fold
above
the
upper eyelid and performs an angular lift through it.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty
Surgical correction of the upper eyelid can be performed at any age. To perform the operation, one of the
following
conditions is sufficient:
The presence of fat hernias above the eyes. Under the skin above the eyes, many often have fat rollers that
visually
narrow the eyes and make the look gloomy.
Sagging skin. It occurs due to the aging processes of the body or due to a genetic predisposition.
With blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids, the price of which depends on the complexity of the operation, an
external
incision is made in the natural fold of the eyelid, which will make the surgical scar invisible. It can be
performed
under local anesthesia, often in combination with intravenous anesthesia. On average, such an operation takes
40-60
minutes. The surgeon makes an incision along the specified lines and removes a strip of excess skin, after which
he
stitches the skin.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery, reviews of which note significant rejuvenation after surgery, is known for
numerous advantages.
Among
the advantages of cosmetic intervention:
- the simplicity of the procedure and a short recovery period;
- naturalness of the result;
- formation of a smooth transition from nasolacrimal grooves;
- elimination of puffiness and darkening under the eyes.
The final effect is estimated after 1-1.5 months, when the swelling completely disappears, the sutures dissolve
and
the
skin is restored. Patients look noticeably younger and more attractive. On average, the effect of the
intervention
lasts
up to 8 years. Previously, a marker marking is applied to the skin, according to which incisions are made. After
that,
the skin is excised with a mandatory offset from the growth line of the lower eyelashes down by 2 mm. The skin
is
separated from the circular muscle of the eye, muscle fibers are dissected, fat hernias and excess skin are
removed.
After the internal and external stitches are applied, an eye patch is placed.
Circular eyelid blepharoplasty
It is intended for the relief of age-related changes, congenital and acquired defects. It involves a complex
operation
covering the lower and upper eyelids. It is indicated for asymmetry, ptosis, fat hernias, omission, loss of
tone.
Circular eyelid lift has a number of undeniable advantages:
in one operation, several defects are eliminated at once, which are caused by natural aging, congenital
disorders
and
acquired chronic diseases;
- gives a harmonious rejuvenation;
- has a short rehabilitation period;
- it is characterized by a minimal set of complications.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. On average, it takes no more than 1.5 hours. Solves not only
aesthetic, but also practical tasks: reduces the tension of the eye muscles, normalizes peripheral vision,
prevents
deterioration of visual acuity.
Features of the procedure
Separately, we will consider the limitations and the process of preparing for surgery.
Preparation
14 days before the procedure, it is worth:
- giving up alcohol;
- do not take hormone-containing drugs and aspirin;
-
take a general and biochemical blood test, a general urine test, an ECG and a test for a number of
infectious

of
an
inflammatory process in the eye area or exacerbation of chronic diseases. Blepharoplasty is prohibited if there
is a
tattoo on the eyelids, if permanent makeup was applied earlier than six months ago.
Conclusion

doctors
perfectly cope with the task. An important advantage is an affordable price and patient support from preparation
to
the
end of rehabilitation.
