Blepharoplasty - Before and AfterEyes can indicate age more than any other part of the face. They also show our emotion and we use them to communicate with others. So eyelid surgery can have amazing effects on your overall appearance. The process of blepharoplasty removes some of the excess skin and tissue to tighten the area around the eye and create a fresher, more youthful look.
During the procedure the surgeon will create small incisions in the natural folds of the upper eyelid, and just below the lashes on the lower. Excess skin and tissue can then be removed, and the area will be closed with very fine stitching. The fine stitches aim to minimise scarring, but fine lines will be expected at first, though they will fade significantly with time.
Blepharoplasty - Before and AfterBlepharoplasty can be performed under local anaesthetic, though a general anaesthetic can sometimes be more suitable. You will usually stay in hospital overnight, but you should arrange to be off work for a week to allow the area to heal. Strenuous activity or sport should be avoided for at least six weeks. Some tenderness and minor swelling can be expected but will reduce rapidly and can be eased with painkillers.
The potential risks with this procedure are minimal however any risks will be fully explained to you by your consultant at your initial consultation.
