Unfortunately, aging is one of the guarantees of life, and the first place where it is more notable is around the eyes. There are several reasons why this happens, but often a combination of loss of skin elasticity and a subtle low of the eyebrow position result in the upper eyelid.
Initially this can be addressed using non -surgical means, such as botulinum toxin (BotoxTM) Anti -proven injections, which can be used to gently raise their foreheads. In addition, improving Crepey’s skin around the eye, use of facial exfoliations or care of medical grade skin can be very effective. However, it inevitably comes a point where non -surgical approaches are no longer properly effective.
A upper eyelid elevator (upper blepharoplasty) is one of the simplest and safest facial surgical rejuvenation procedures that we do as plastic surgeons. In fact, it is often done under a local anesthetic in Purity Bridge, in our treatment room, as an output procedure.
So who is the typical patient of the upper eyelid in Purity Bridge? Well, there is no “typical” patient! When we ask our surgeons what kind of work did the people who come to see them for the upper blepharoplasty, profess teachers, lawyers, other doctors, social workers, store workers, beauty industry professionals, a couple of judges, a cleaner … Yyyyyyyy the list.
What everyone has in common is the way in which they describe what the two bones the pinches, pinch excess skin in the upper limb and say: “Please, get rid of this” not only make them feel that they are tired and aged, a situation of putterme with the vision.
Initially, an exhaustive medical and ocular history are tasks, after which a careful eye exam and the eye area are performed. Special attention is paid to the position of the eyebrow, as in several people, the main “problem” is actually the eyebrow (even if this is not apparent for the patient) and a eyelid elevator only will not produce a satisfactory result … or a happy patient! Therefore, this must be discussed when relevant, and the other options explain, in addition to the consequences of performance, a superior blepharoplasty alone without another subjuvial procedure.
As for the operation itself, this normally acts under local anesthesia. After carefully marking the excess of the skin in a particular pattern, the local anesthetic is administered before cleaning the area. Excess skin is eliminated, along with any other fabric as necessary (sometimes muscle and occasion
Fat ally). The wound is carefully sewn in a way to ensure that a new natural eyelid fold is created and surgical tapes are applied.
The stitches are eliminated in a week and bruises can take up to two weeks to settle. There is a continuous improvement for the 3 Monhs as swelling continues to improve.
All plastic surgeons consultants agree that a higher blepharoplasty offers an excellent natural and renewed result for relatively little inactivity time. It is also one of the most affordable procedures, which makes it more accessible.
