Lower eyelid blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery in the eye area, which consists in correcting the incision of the eyes and the shape of the eyelids, as well as in eliminating aesthetic imperfections resulting from age-related changes in the skin. The essence of surgery is to eliminate excess skin and hernial neoplasms. When performed correctly, the look becomes more open and light, giving the face a special freshness.

The relevance of lower eyelid plastics is due to the following problems:

• fatty hernia deposits and sagging of the skin under the eyes. Hernia refers to a formation consisting of fatty fiber and localized in the space between the circular muscle of the eyes and the skin of the lower eyelids. The cause of its occurrence is the loss of the tone of the eye muscle;

2. The essence of this method boils down to the removal of fatty and hernial deposits by punctures on the mucous membrane of the eyes. The advantages of such a correction are the absence of scars and rapid healing.
3. Elimination of lower eyelid defects by transplantation of adipose tissue. Such blepharoplasty makes it possible to replenish the missing volumes if there are troughs under the eyes or deep tear troughs.

Lower eyelid plastic can be produced under general anesthesia or using local anesthesia. The choice depends on a variety of associated factors.
