Upper eyelid blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty - is a plastic surgery in the eye area, the essence of which is to correct the eye incision and the shape of the upper eyelid, as well as eliminate aesthetic imperfections resulting from age-related changes in the skin. The purpose of surgical manipulation is to eliminate excess skin, overhanging eyelids and hernias. The result of a properly performed surgery is an open, light and fresh look.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is performed in:

• overhanging of the upper eyelids, which caused age-related skin transformations;
• presence of deep wrinkles or creases;
• decrease of visual function quality due to overhanging eyelid;
• hernia neoplasms.

Therefore, the indications for upper eyelids can be roughly divided into cosmetic, when the signs of aging are reduced through surgery, and functional, in which the overhanging eyelid negatively affects vision.

Blepharoplasty comes in several types:

1. Transconjunctival. It involves the removal of fatty and hernial neoplasms by incisions on the mucous membrane of the eyes. The advantages of this correction are the absence of scars and rapid healing.
2. Classic. It is performed by eliminating the fat layer and sagging skin through a small incision under the eyelashes, on which self-absorbing threads are subsequently applied.
3. Classic. It is performed by eliminating the fat layer and sagging skin through a small incision under the eyelashes, on which self-absorbing threads are subsequently applied.

1. It is made with a thin marker grip, which marks the section lines. Then, a slight pressing of the eye apple is performed in order to determine the degree of protrusion of the fat pockets. Establishing the localization and amount of subcutaneous fat under the eyebrows is an important point at the marking stage, since it affects the correct surgical contouring of the upper eyelid. The state of the lacrimal glands is also taken into account, they protrude or fall out.
2. Upper blepharoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia.
3. It is performed jointly or separately from the circular muscle. The location of the orbital septum is then fixed.
4. Sometimes at this stage, fat deposits are not removed, but redistributed in order to smooth the contour of the fold.
5. In most cases, non-absorbable filaments made of nylon or polypropylene are expected to be used in upper blepharoplasty. In the process of suturing a surgeon, various techniques can be used.

Duration of plastic surgery is 1 hour on average.

The recovery period after the operative treatment is fast and without complications. The main thing is to comply with all medical recommendations. The overall recovery is as follows:

Strips are applied to the operated areas of the upper eyelids, after which the patient is transferred to the ward, where ice is applied to the patient in order to reduce eyelid swelling. After a couple of hours, the patient is discharged for treatment in an outpatient format under the supervision of a surgeon.
