Pre -Operation work UP
Anaesthesia:
Local with sedation / General in case of combination surgery.
P.S:
Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift is commonly performed as a combination procedure with facelift surgery.
Procedure:
Incision:
The incision is made in the natural crease of the lid (Upper / Lower). In the Upper eyelid surgery, excess skin is removed and the fat is excised or relocated and the incision closed by sutures. Surgery on the lower lid depends on the preoperative condition. Bulging fat from lower lid without excess skin is treated by a Transconjunctival blepharoplasty (Scar less and stitch less). Excess skin and muscle require excision of the same and will leave a scar very close to the edge of the lid. Some time there may be too much laxity of the lid exposing the conjunctiva and causing tearing which may require tightening of the lid in the horizontal direction at the corner of the eye called Canthoplasty.
Duration of Surgery:
45 mins.-1 hr. for a pair of Eyelids.
Hospital Stay:
Day Care Surgery
Post -Operative Instructions
Recovery and Results:
Ice application over eyes keeps bruising and swelling down and sutures are removed in 5-7 days time. The bruising can be covered by a makeup and sunglasses. A fresher and more youthful appearance of the eyes with reduced bags and pouches is the norm. Some actually experience an improvement in their eye sight as a result of removal of excess skin.
