Upper Eyelid blepharoplasty is currently one of the most often performed cosmetic surgery procedures. It is done in order to remove fat deposits, drooping and loose skin located around your upper eyelid region. As time passes changes happen in the way our face looks and when combined with external factors we end up with accelerated aging. Since nobody wants to look older than they are, plastic surgery is one option that is considered. An upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedure will help you in two ways. It will remove excess skin and will correct puffiness that is noticed in the middle and inner corner areas of the upper eyelid. In some cases the doctor might recommend that you combine this procedure with others. Common examples of operations that are done at the same time as upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be given in facelift, chemical resurfacing and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. You might find that part of this procedure is covered by your health insurance. This happens in the event that your upper eyelid will interfere with sight. Such a condition is called ptosis.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty will change the way you look. There will be a clear difference visible once the recovery period is over. You will no longer look older than you are and in most cases the patient will look a lot younger than before. Each individual will show different results, based on personal traits and damage levels.
The first thing that will happen will be an initial consultation. This is where you will talk with your doctor about the changes you want to make. You will be explained all the available options, the risks involved, limitations present and the actual procedure. The surgeon will need to know your entire medical history and examine the fat and skin around the eyes. Different tests are performed and information will be gathered. The initial consultation is when you need to ask all the questions you might have and you can also ask to take a look at pictures of previous patients. Patient references can be demanded and on the whole, this is when you will get all the information you need.
There are some things you need to know about the actual upper eyelid surgery. The doctor will do an incision in the eyelid’s natural fold. He will then remove any extra fat or skin tissue. If needed, muscles will also be removed and there might be a tightening of the orbital septum. This is all that happens during the upper eyelid surgery and the last step is closing the incision. You will be happy to know that the incisions are not visible as they will be hidden in your skin’s natural fold. The entire surgery will last 1 to 3 hours, based on how much repair has to be done and the doctor’s technique.
After the upper eyelid surgery is over you might need to stay in the hospital. All depends on what you previously discussed with your doctor. There is also the possibility of going home the same day. The problem is that you will feel discomfort in the first days after the operation. You might have to take pain medication although the pain is much less than with most cosmetic surgeries out there. In some cases the needed recovery is just 10 days but this depends on various factors that the surgeon will talk to you about.
The bottom line is that upper eyelid blepharoplasty will make you look younger. You will be happy with the long lasting results and the scars will be so small that you can hardly notice them.
