Reading
Like other cosmetic procedures, eyelid blepharoplasty has a number of indications:
- hanging eyelid skin (top and bottom);
- "fat bag" in the eye area;
- "aging" eyelids;
- ptosis (ptosis) of the lower corner of the eye, as a result of which the shape changes: the incision is significantly reduced;
- "Heavy" eyelids (looks tired)
Age-related changes put the time stamp on the eyelids earlier, as the skin around the eyes is very sensitive and soft. After 30 years, many people think of eyelid blepharoplasty as the only safety from sagging and fat storage in this area. One does not dare to take this step because of ignorance and fear. And that’s useless: the procedure is safe, effective, and when carried out properly, has a minimum of negative consequences. You just have to get to know him better. True, there are several types of blepharoplasty, each with its own characteristics.

The operation is performed through a skin incision along the folds of the upper eyelid. It removes excess skin. At the patient's request, they can immediately perform plastic surgery on the muscle, removing excess fat.
2. Correction of lower eyelids
The most popular type is blepharoplasty on the lower eyelid, which relieves edema, hernias, bags under the eyes. The almost invisible stitches run along the edges of the lashes. This operation is called transcutaneous or subcliliary blepharoplasty by a doctor. If the doctor chooses a transconjunctival procedure, an incision is made on the inside of the eyelid. This may happen if you need to redistribute or remove fatty tissue around the eyes, and no skin cover removal is required. This type of blepharoplasty is most often used by young patients.
3. Blepharoplasty round
Round blepharoplasty involves simultaneous correction of the lower and upper eyelids.
4. Blepharoplasty laser
Many cosmetology clinics today offer an excellent alternative to surgical eyelid removal, namely laser blepharoplasty on a variety of devices. It requires no cuts or stitches. Doctors control the depth of laser penetration and the degree of warming of the epidermis. As a result, tissue damage and recovery is minimized. This technology safely and effectively stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, thus achieving a lifting effect. This procedure takes about 30 minutes, is easy to accept, does not require anesthesia, and does not cause the formation of hematomas. Only non-surgical blepharoplasty can provide minimal side effects.
In addition, professional cosmetologists can offer Asian eye shape correction to create Caucasian folds. You can do plastic surgery to remove the exophthalmos (bulging eye effect), cantopexy (lifting the lower eyelid to remove the sad eye expression). The question of how safe drastic measures to rejuvenate the eyelids, is interesting for all women who need blepharoplasty: complications may occur after almost all cosmetic procedures.
