What is an Eyelid Surgery ?
Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery that addresses concerns like drooping, puffiness, or bags under the eyes by removing excess skin from the eyelids.
As we age, the skin around our eyes stretches, and the muscles supporting them weaken, leading to issues like sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids, and under-eye bags.
Through blepharoplasty, Dr. Salil aims to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by restoring a more youthful, refreshed look and by removing excess tissue.
Reasons for Undergoing Eyelid Lift Surgery
Blepharoplasty is done to address:
- Upper eyelids that appear baggy or droopy
- Excessive upper eyelid skin that partially blocks peripheral vision
- Excess skin on the lower eyelids
- Bags under the eyes
Procedure Details: Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery
Preparation
To prepare for a blepharoplasty procedure, Dr. Salil, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Bahrain, will ask you:
- Your medical history
- Have a complete eye examination
- Quit or cease smoking for 4 weeks.
- Adjust current medications or take new medications
- Stop taking blood thinners, aspirin, multivitamins, and herbal supplements.
He will discuss your goals and what you expect from the eyelid surgery for a good outcome. He will discuss whether the procedure will work for you.
During the Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty is performed using anesthesia to help you relax during the procedure.
- Upper Blepharoplasty: For upper eyelids, Dr. Salil cuts along the natural crease of the eyelid. He removes some excess skin, muscle, and protruding fat and then closes the incision.
- Lower Blepharoplasty: On the lower lid, he makes a cut just below your lower eyelash line. He removes or redistributes excess fat, muscle, and sagging skin and then closes the incision to correct lower eyelid issues.
It typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete an upper blepharoplasty. If both upper and lower eyelids are done simultaneously, the procedure may take about two to three hours, depending on whether fat is repositioned or if additional work is performed.
Eyelid Surgery Results
Upper eyelid surgery typically provides results that last for 5-7 years or even longer, with the possibility of lasting a lifetime. Lower eyelid surgery typically does not require repeated surgery. Of course, your eyes will still age after the procedure.
After surgery, expect bruising and swelling for up to about 2 weeks, along with small scars that will fade over a few months. However, once you have healed fully, you’ll look more youthful and rested, boosting your self-confidence.
And, if your eyelids have affected your vision, you should be able to see better.
