Tired-looking eyes caused by heavy eyelids or puffy, saggy under-eye bags are one of the most common complaints of patients contemplating cosmetic surgery.
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can restore a more energetic and youthful appearance. You should look refreshed, as if you're just back from holiday.
Lower eyelid bags are caused by orbital fat prolapse through the weakened tissue called septum, which is the wall separating the eyelid from the orbit. Also, due to gravity, the cheek line drops over the years, accentuating the eyelid bags.
Some candidates can have a type of lower eyelid surgery is called “transconjunctival,” performed without external incisions. This surgical technique is far superior, as the incisions are made within the lower lid, with no visible scars created during the procedure.
This transconjunctival surgical technique requires a very delicate surgical approach, top-level surgical skills, and finesse so that the eye shape is not altered. The eyelid is accessed from within the lower lid, the fatty pockets sculpted and repositioned. The results can leave you looking refreshed, youthful, and no longer plagued by under eye bags that cannot be hidden with cosmetics.
There are a few ways to treat lower eyelid bags. In mild cases, filler injection along the tear trough line could camouflage mild cases. For more prominent eyelid bags, surgery would be preferable.
The main purpose of the surgery is to reduce the prominent lid bags and camouflage the tear trough line. That could be accomplished by redistributing the fat with conservative excision of skin if needed. Lifting the eyelid could help maintain a youthful tight eyelid.
Expect cosmetic improvement of the lid bags by 80%, as the cosmetic outcome should be weighed against the functional outcome of the lower lid. The surgery should avoid causing exposure to the eye surface and dry eye.
Bruising could last up to 2 weeks and a small amount of bleeding is expected in the first day.
Double vision could happen after rarely the surgery and may last for 2 weeks, as the surgery is taking place very close to the inferior oblique muscle, which is one of the muscles responsible for eye movements.
Scar could be obvious for few months if the surgery were performed from the skin side but gradually fade by time.
Before blepharoplasty, you will have an appointment with the surgeon and eye specialist (ophthalmologist) or a surgeon specialising in eye surgeries (oculoplastic surgeon). During the consultation, you will discuss the following. Majority of lid surgery done under local anaesthesia and as a day case means you go home after surgery.
The surgeon will ask questions concerning past surgeries and conditions, including your current medical condition such as allergies, diabetes, dry eyes, glaucoma, thyroid problems, and circulatory issues. The doctor will also need information about your current medications, herbal supplements, vitamins, drug use, and alcohol and tobacco consumption.
Having an honest conversation about your motivation to undergo the procedure and your hopes will help set your expectations. The surgeon will inform you if the procedure can help you achieve your aim.
This procedure is usually on an outpatient basis. The surgeon will inject a numbing medication into your eyelids which is well tolerated with or without sedation as arranged or required, speak to your doctor if you anxious about your treatment, majority need no sedation.
If the surgery is on your lower and upper eyelid, the eye surgeon will first operate on the upper eyelid. They will cut along the eyelid's fold, removing the excess fat, skin, and muscles, then close the incision very precisely.
While working on the lower eyelid, the surgeon will cut just below the eyelashes, in the natural crease, or inside the lower eyelid. They will redistribute or remove the excess muscle, skin, and fat and then close the incision.
Suppose the upper eyelid sags to the pupil. In that case, the surgeon may perform blepharoplasty alongside a procedure known as ptosis correction to provide additional support to the muscles in the eyebrow.
You need to follow your eye doctor advise but majority follow below advise:
Many people are satisfied with the procedure's outcome, with a youthful and more rested appearance and higher self-confidence. For some, the result lasts for a lifetime, but droopy eyelids may recur.
